Hey All,
Sorry I am not on here much like I used to be a few years ago. Well, I'm now doing the Mr. Mom thing stayin' at home with my little 8 week old Sweetheart, changing her diapers and making formula and also taking care of my 11 year old stepson. Life is GREAT!!!! I love it. But I am still trying to get back into the swing of things with my pin-up illustration. PLEASE, let people know about my artwork and that I am looking for commission and freelance work to do.

Gotta run, the little one just woke up and needs her binky. BRB!

Hey All,
Got bored a while back and made this little video I have recently posted on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9tA6pp8gEg

Here's the background...
The song is a piece of shit by Andy Williams called Happy Heart and the lyrics, "there's a certain sound always follows me around, when you're close to me you will hear it" were begging to be destroyed by fart sounds and what not. So there you have it. I have been playing around with this song for eight years on cassette tapes, then a minidisc recorder, now with a digital mixing program, it's finally realized. The video was one I found of a drag queen lip synching to the song so I placed my new mix over the video, added some captions, placed a few drive-in bumpers at the beginning and end and cropped it to 1.85:1 widescreen.

The fart sounds come from some some sound fx cd I have, the scream is Joker's from Full Metal Jacket (SHOW ME YOUR WAR FACE!) and obviously some Family Guy for good measure.

I'm working on another one right now (it's a secret), but let me know what you guys think of this one.

Peace,
Mike

Hey Everyone,
This is Zappagonzo here, back on SG with a new profile. Tried reactivating my old profile and couldn't get anything to recognize me. Fuck it! Well, I know I haven't been on here in ages and many new things are happening. The website www.americanroadhousestudio.com is back online and I am now happily married with a daughter on the way. *blushing*. Haven't been doing a lot of pin-ups recently, as the new job is KILLING me, but that is changing. Fuck the system! I'm back doing my art and couldn't be happier. I'm also doing a lot of artwork for my daughter's room (actually it's the area around her crib). OK glad to be back, take care and I'll see you all down the road.

Peace,
Mike
