Which Generic Xanax Is Best
22 Jul
For something a Which Generic Xanax Is Best little different, I thought it could be fun to informally interview a Which Generic Xanax Is Best trio of illustrators joined at the twitter-and-blogoverse-and-collaborative (and oft real life)-hip. That is: Vicki Nerino, Britt Wilson, and Phil McAndrew. Vicki and Which Generic Xanax Is Best Britt are roommates in Canada while Phil resides in New York, where Which Generic Xanax Is Best the ladies were staying, just fresh off the bus from Which Generic Xanax Is Best Canada. Sweating and eating giant burgers and drinking beers.
A quick warning, that some of the images I’ve posted get just a bit NSFW. So if it’s safe to view, ENJOY! We talk about their various collaborations, process, art school, and Which Generic Xanax Is Best more. Read the whole interview below the cut Generic Ambien Orange Pill!
Accordion Face
So I guess a good place to start is, how did you guys meet?
Vicki
Phil wanted to be friends with us SO BAD
Britt
he was pretty much desperate
Phil
they stalked me on the internet
Britt
he was all “Britt, please be friends with me, I think you’re so RRRAAADDDD”
Vicki
NOT TRUE… wait. we did stalk him on the internet…
Britt
Oh yeah. Whoops. My bad.
Vicki
Phil wanted to Which Generic Xanax Is Best come to Canzine in 2009, so we offered him our stinking couch to Which Generic Xanax Is Best sleep on and thus, a friendship was born.
Britt
I met Vicki in a lesbian bar.
Vicki
we met eyes. it was romantic.
Britt
I saw you Which Generic Xanax Is Best from across the room. It was the twitching that caught my eye.
Vicki
I had a seizure. you mistook it for bedroom eye(s)
Britt
but seriously though, we both went to Which Generic Xanax Is Best Sheridan in Oakville Ontario, and we’ve been the closest of friends ever since.
Accordion Face
Did you go to artschool too Phil?
Britt
No he did not, he just rolled out a ditch one day, fully formed.
Britt
It was divine creation. He just stumbled into the Which Generic Xanax Is Best road, ink pot and nib in hand
Vicki
Like he was beamed down from space or some shit
Phil
I studied illustration at a Which Generic Xanax Is Best very small liberal arts school in Buffalo, NY. Or, yeah, what Which Generic Xanax Is Best Britt said
Vicki
My butt is numb. Just sayin.
Accordion Face
So was studying generally good? or did you meet any kinda resistance from lecturers? (Ie. in terms of subject matter / style)
Vicki
I thought it was great. We had professors like Rick Sealock, that man knows where it’s at. Crazy man…
Britt
Yeah he actually told me to be crazier.
Vicki
but of course there was resistance from some professors. it’s the way it goes.
Phil
My professors, for Which Generic Xanax Is Best the most part, were very supportive and excited about the Which Generic Xanax Is Best work I was doing!
Britt
“yeaaahh, but can you put more blood in it?”
Vicki
“make his eyes yellow, like he’s full of PEE or something”
Britt
Everytime I TRIED to Which Generic Xanax Is Best gross someone out or make them mad I got an A, it Which Generic Xanax Is Best got a little annoying so I gave up on rebellion
Vicki
I got resistance from one professor who was all “DONT USE BALLPOINT. NEVER USE BALLPOINT”
Britt
YEAH me too. I was like, suck my butt, I’ll use this pen until I DIE! and then I leapt out the 6th floor window to my death
Vicki
nah, by the Which Generic Xanax Is Best time i decided to be a little bit of a disgusting human being, it Which Generic Xanax Is Best was so far into the program that the professors pretty much let you Which Generic Xanax Is Best go ahead and do what you wanted mostly.
Phil
Most of the Which Generic Xanax Is Best work I was doing in school was pretty tame. I drew a Which Generic Xanax Is Best lot of wrinkly creeps but I wasn’t doing anything super violent or disgusting.
Accordion Face
On that Which Generic Xanax Is Best note, branding and the internet and all, has twitter fart talk led to Which Generic Xanax Is Best any jobs yet?
Phil
Nope! I’ve been Which Generic Xanax Is Best going through an epic freelance drought. No paying work in a Which Generic Xanax Is Best very, very long time. Maybe I should stop putting fart jokes on twitter…
Britt
Yeah actually, for me, Robin McConnell of Inkstuds fame is Which Generic Xanax Is Best totally as vile if not MORE vulgar than myself, and he approached me about doing the Which Generic Xanax Is Best cover for his book which is done and coming out in the Which Generic Xanax Is Best fall i b’lieve
Accordion Face
Oh the creepy people-birdlets in the nest?
Britt
Yeah! exactly. Baby birds look like testicles
Accordion Face
What would be a dream gig then?
Phil
I’d really like to Which Generic Xanax Is Best illustrate books. I think wine labels would be fun too…
Accordion Face
Like internal b/w illustrations or kids book illustration ?
Phil
Both!
Vicki
Books would be great, yeah.
Britt
Books are so sweet
Vicki
Or lots of editorial. or… anything. as long as i can make it at least somewhat gross.
Britt
The only problem with kids books is Which Generic Xanax Is Best I get really tempted to make dirty jokes and hide penises in them.
Accordion Face
On the topic of books, Phil can you tell us about Picture Book Report?
Phil
Picture Book Report is awesome! I’m really having a lot of fun with it.
I feel very lucky to have been invited to participate. Meg Hunt, who Which Generic Xanax Is Best is really an incredible illustrator and person, decided to put together a Which Generic Xanax Is Best blog where a handful of incredible illustrators create illustrations inspired by some of their favorite books. Each month we share a Which Generic Xanax Is Best new illustration, going through a full book.
Accordion Face
I’ve seen some amazing amazing images come out of it, from Which Generic Xanax Is Best yourself of course and the others involved.
Phil
It’s been really top notch work. From everyone involved.
Accordion Face
I know all 3 of you Which Generic Xanax Is Best are involved in various collaborative projects and blogs, which is I think how I found all 3 of you, let’s talk about them!
Vicki
Yeah, Phil and I have that terrible Icki Lip blog
Phil
Oh, man, don’t look at it, please.
Britt
oh god, yeah, what a piece of garbage THAT is
Phil
It’s awful.
Vicki
the worst. i’m so so sorry
Accordion Face
so how DID that one come about, dare I ask?
Phil
Whenever I visit these two in Toronto I leave a Which Generic Xanax Is Best bunch of Icki Lip drawings with them because I don’t even want to be in the same country as them.
Vicki
I dont even remember. we just sort of thought it Which Generic Xanax Is Best would be fun to do a project together, and we both like to Which Generic Xanax Is Best draw terrible terrible things. so… there you have it.
Phil
That’s it, yup.
Britt
They thought it would be fun to leave me out of it
Accordion Face
And on the gynecologically exclusive flipside, Uterus Parade?
Britt
yeah suck on that Philip
Vicki
Just 2 chicks, havin a Which Generic Xanax Is Best good time, havin a good time, havin a good time. Before we moved in together (worst mistake ever) we both drew comics and Which Generic Xanax Is Best thought we would share a table, so we came up with the Which Generic Xanax Is Best name.
Britt
*gasp*
Accordion Face
So how come theres no Phil / Britt collab effort?
Britt
Hmmmm goooooooood question
Phil
We did a joint commission sale not long ago but yeah, we haven’t really collaborated on anything.
Britt
yeah I dunno, I think phil and Which Generic Xanax Is Best I have to have a serious talk about this. have a Which Generic Xanax Is Best heart to heart… CHAT.
Phil
Britt wants to collaborate on babies.
Phil
JOKE
Accordion Face
They will all have moustaches
Vicki
so many of them
Britt
nah man, they would have really big feet and snore too much.
Accordion Face
What else have you collaborated on?
Vicki
Uuuuh…. the Which Generic Xanax Is Best first time Phil came to stay with us, we sat down for Which Generic Xanax Is Best an entire afternoon and drew so many terrible sesame street drawings… and muppets, oh the muppets…
Accordion Face
So comics vs illustration – hearsay Vicki, is that you were pressured into comics by Britt?
Vicki
yes. totally pressured.
Accordion Face
Britt + Phil, has it been something you’ve always done?
Britt
I am persuasive
Vicki
In college, I did a Which Generic Xanax Is Best couple assignments for a narrative class and then she harassed me ever since
Britt
I drew a Which Generic Xanax Is Best comic about Mr. Invisible when I was only a wee child. But I took a Which Generic Xanax Is Best big fat break in the middle, and only recently got back into them.
Phil
I’ve drawn comics pretty much my entire life.
Vicki
You guys are total nerds.
Accordion Face
I guess your Which Generic Xanax Is Best styles allow them to go hand in hand, but would you Which Generic Xanax Is Best prefer one over the other (Illustration vs. comics), or say, more *cartooning* work?
Phil
I only really got serious about illustration when Which Generic Xanax Is Best I was in college but I think I actually enjoy illustration work more at this Which Generic Xanax Is Best point.
Vicki
Nah, i like to Which Generic Xanax Is Best mix it up. i get bored of one, then move on to Which Generic Xanax Is Best the other, and back and forth. Keeps things fresh.
Phil
I still love making comics but it Which Generic Xanax Is Best can be a tedious, frustrating process.
Accordion Face
I really dig the cartooning-influenced approach to illustration you’re doing.
Britt
I think comics are Which Generic Xanax Is Best more fun for me right now, but illustration holds a greater artistic challenge. I dread the Which Generic Xanax Is Best idea of getting too invested in either one or the other.
Accordion Face
Although, “Are You Man Enough”, Phil?
Phil
Are You Man Enough is easily the most popular thing I’ve ever done, yeah.
Accordion Face
Can you let us in on some of your Influences?
Phil
I feel like a Which Generic Xanax Is Best lot of non-illustrators are huge for me. Jim Henson, Roald Dahl, Terry Gilliam, Wes Anderson…
Britt
I have so many loves and influences that I don’t think any one stands out over the other…
Vicki
Werner Herzog, Ralph Steadman, Harmony Korine..
Accordion Face
Gummo?
Vicki
and others yeah
Britt
man, that fuckin movie
Vicki
he wrote this Which Generic Xanax Is Best book, that is just a collection of characters. really really strange characters and Which Generic Xanax Is Best i feel like that’s sort of the way i work too. It’s called “crackup at the race riots”. its a Which Generic Xanax Is Best hard book to find, i had to buy it off of a Which Generic Xanax Is Best used books site for $50
Accordion Face
Ok so to Which Generic Xanax Is Best keep the ball rolling a couple of individual things about style / process… Britt you Which Generic Xanax Is Best have a few styles going. The painterly thing, more cartoony exaggerated thing, realism, stylised lines..
Britt
I am a schizo. I just can’t get rid of any one of them, they are my babies.
Accordion Face
Are you planning on bringing more of the style you do in your sketches/comics/commissions into your illustrations?
Britt
I do actually, the Which Generic Xanax Is Best only problem there is finding the time to sit down and Which Generic Xanax Is Best play with my illustration. Lately it’s been comics comics comics, no time and no money in illustration.
Accordion Face
Not saying I don’t like the more painterly work of course. I’d personally love to see that style you’re doing for Which Generic Xanax Is Best those, coloured up as final pieces as is. And I love those fighting people with the Which Generic Xanax Is Best sneakers in your sketchbook.
Britt
Yeah, I feel like right now I’m right in the Which Generic Xanax Is Best middle of revamping my entire process. I love those guys too, they just seem to Which Generic Xanax Is Best happen when I doodle sometimes. They started after watching too much Ashes to Which Generic Xanax Is Best ashes.
Accordion Face
Vicki – The eye thing, did that come about by accident?
Vicki
Sort of. I think it Which Generic Xanax Is Best all started when I did a project with old people. and Which Generic Xanax Is Best I drew the eyes. And the next project i just though id add the Which Generic Xanax Is Best same thing, and it just got progressively worse until sometimes the Which Generic Xanax Is Best wrinkley eye-ness fills an entire page
Accordion Face
To me that’s a really recognisable part of your work
Vicki
Thanks! its fun and Which Generic Xanax Is Best a little obsessive. I feel wrong if the eyes arent at least a Which Generic Xanax Is Best LITTLE gross. even babies.
Accordion Face
I’m giving you Which Generic Xanax Is Best a thumbs up through the computer screen. A process question, the Which Generic Xanax Is Best paint under your lines, do you lay down the paint first then Which Generic Xanax Is Best ink over? or is this photoshop? Or acetate maybe?
Vicki
I usually do linework in my sketchbook, make a Which Generic Xanax Is Best gel transfer, and stick it over the paint and touch it Which Generic Xanax Is Best up after. but lately for illustration work, i’ve been Which Generic Xanax Is Best doing the lines and paint seprately and smushing it together with PS. so much faster. i still do gel transfers for Which Generic Xanax Is Best fine art junk though
Accordion Face
Gel transfers?
Vicki
You want me to give away my SECRETS?
Just kidding, xerox copy + 5 or 6 coats of matte medium + soak and peel paper = clear gel with toner linework. Its taken years to Which Generic Xanax Is Best get it right and I still play with it. I recently did some colour transfers with green lines. so fun.
Accordion Face
So I saw your recent process posts on your blog Phil
Phil
Ah yes, I’ve been Which Generic Xanax Is Best trying to give people a little peek at how I do things recently.
Accordion Face
I love seeing process – is this generally how you work?
Phil
I try a Which Generic Xanax Is Best lot of different things from project to project but yeah, for Which Generic Xanax Is Best the most part that’s a pretty good representation of my process.
Accordion Face
Thanks for your time guys! Has been fun!
Vicki
NO, Thank you
Brittington

Phil
