Comics maniac Victor Cayro (aka Bald Eagles) put on a massive art show at his house this weekend, tragically named Lil Bitches and Mark Ass Hoes. Illustrations and posters and screenprints by a bunch of our favorite drawers were spackled all over every available surface while some French guy covering the Beatles blared from the computer speakers. Yeah, we're sorry you missed it too. Now suck it up and enjoys these pictures of the pictures that were there.
This is Ray Sohn, who draws "True Chubbo" for us with his wife, Tomomi. (We can't get links to work in these captions so you'll just have to type "true chubbo" into the search box on the homepage.) It's sort of what the Lockhorns would be like if they were a young Korean and Japanese couple and more of the gags revolved around shit and mountainous ejaculating penises.
Live-action True Chubbo. Like her many predecessors, Tomomi is guilty of the cardinal female-comics-artist-sin of drawing herself about 1,000 times uglier than she is in real life.
Despite the fact that there were over 30 artists with work up, Victor Cayro completely dominated every wall. He's a machine. This was a corner of his stuff up by the bathrooms. The dealies surrounding the drawing are handmade rubber action figures in fake packaging. The Gulf War Syndrome Penguin one says "He fought for nothing so you didn't have to!" Zing!
This is a poster he made for a Miranda July book signing in Seattle.

Hugo draws ultra-detailed pictures that look like those nauseating cartoons you'd see in old Penthouses, only his are way more upsetting. He also does a comic called Virgil which as Vice Comics guy Nick Gazin pointed out, is possibly the world's most accurate representation of what guys' brains are like when they're masturbating. Go to hugoscomics.com to see how right he is.
I can NOT remember this guy's name for the life of me but there was a huge wall with his stuff all over it. A lot of it looked like John Kricfalusi on a fairies and elves bender.
Here's a few more from there.
All the political work was trapped in a paper-mache art prison.

Victor Cayro is suspicious of Obama's Chicago connections.
Victor and Becca also make those insane art-shirts we told you to buy for the woman in your life back in the Holiday Gift Guide. Email them this week or you're going to blow it. cancerface2000@yahoo.com

Oops, as pointed out below and over ichat and to my face, these pendants are by Kerry Farias from the band Your Boyfriends' Band Sucks. Click on any of those links in the comments to check them out.
If you don't think Sam Henderson's gags are funny, you probably need to reexamine your life.

This was in the bathroom, not sure if it's supposed to be part of the show.

Victor and Nick Gazin collaborated on this one. See if you can figure out where the one stopped and the other started. (Hint: It's near the penis.)
