Thanks to Jeff Min for hooking this up.

Growing up on Chicago’s far South Side, illustrator/cartoonist/painter Jose Garibaldi learned early on to appreciate the fine art of comics. Whereas most parents would be quick to dismiss strips as lowbrow art, Garibaldi’s mother welcomed it, making publications like Cracked and Mad Magazine readily available for his young mind to absorb. The choice to embrace the offbeat humor of Cracked and Mad clearly comes across in Garibaldi’s illustrations and it’s what makes his art most endearing.

I did this T-shirt design about 2 months ago for homies Maker and Qwel, who are on tour promoting their new album, OWL.

If they come to your town, check them out. They put on a hell of a show. Buy a T-shirt, too. And check out OWL.

This was supposed to be my portion of the 2007 Chicago Funk Jam flyer. I just wasn’t feeling this image at the time.

I ended up going with the drawing below

which I love and got good response on Myspace and Facebook.
Anyway, I came across that original drawing during my move, and think that I can tweak it and color it up into something nice.
Just wanted to share. I’ll post it if I do decide to do it up something proper.
Lators.

yo, slowly but surely getting back to life as it was. I’ve been laying low in my new Los Angeles home, trying to take advantage of this downtime. I’ve been working on some new comic book stories and pages, a bunch of character designs, and a few cartoon pitches. Sorry to all my friends (both L.A and Chicago) for being a such a hermit. I promise I’ll call soon. In a few I’ll post some sketchbook pages and a couple new pieces.
Also, a sneak of something I’ve been rolling on for myself (and you, of course) more details will come soon.

I’m also looking forward to updating http://fronytail.com again on a regular basis. For those that haven’t checked the site out, Fronytail is my replacement for the weekend sketch. It’s all hair based. And fun.
So that’s a little semi-update, gonna try to post more often than every few months.
Peace!
Jose
