Here are some of my recent menu illustrations for @bivonassimplypasta. As my drawings got more elaborate, it became clear that I couldn’t do a new one every single day. But, I’m doing my best to keep them as fresh as can be as often as possible and to keep all of you smiling or laughing at the ridiculousness. Thanks for all the love you’ve been giving me when I post these in my stories. And special thanks again to @chefchuckbivona for giving me the space to be creative. It means a lot to me. taken in Newburgh, New York by @funnybusiness

Over the last 17 years, I’ve shot The State, Stella, Wet Hot American Summer and Reno 911!, so of course I couldn’t miss shooting @madjamband in Philly. Highlight of the show was definitely the Wings instant classic, “Love Take Me Down to the Streets.”

I have a new t-shirt design out today just in time for America’s birthday. This design was made probably 17 years ago for a friend’s band, but was never used. Now I’ve hand-printed a small batch in S, M, L and XL. Quantities are extremely limited and printing quality varies since they were done by an inexperienced silk-screener (me). Get yours at the link in bio (or for those seeing this on FB: https://funnybusiness.bigcartel.com/product/banana-war). You can get free shipping on my shirts until noon EST tomorrow with coupon JULY4. Happy buying!! taken in Newburgh, New York by @funnybusiness

When in doubt, blame it on the rain.

Whether you feel like celebrating or like there’s nothing to celebrate today, I think the one thing we can all agree on is: This is an American flag in front of Demetri Martin’s face. Happy whatever this day means to you Day!
