I remember two years ago I was obsessed with Aziz Ansari, and now two years later, he’s starring in movies, gracing the covers of magazines, and becoming an art critic. Complex Magazine scoured the internet and came back with their top 5 most interesting pieces, and mine made it into #4. Check it out at minute 0:54! (you can even see it right there on the video image preview!)

I’m glad that he actually responded positively to my illustration. But I was hoping to make him cry over it.

Here’s the process to that piece! (Update: Oh no! I lost the final image artwork! It must have happened when I redesigned my website. Thank god I updated my website before Complex did their search.)

Demetri Martin is premiering his new show tonight, Important Things with Demetri Martin, at 10:30PM on Comedy Central. Some cool tidbits about the show is that it is produced by Busboy Productions owned by Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. Jon also produces the Colbert Report. It seems like he’s got his hands in some great properties and at a good time, too. In this economic meltdown, comedy is definitely a needed escapism, and Demetri brings a show that isn’t full of political and social commentary. He presents his observations on the smaller but important things in life.
