A little after my last news posting, I got and started a great new job at National A-1 Internet as a full-time web and graphic designer.
Currently, I'm still pursuing a few projects, one being a book of work created by me over the past few years. It will be incredibly limited to about 25 - 50 copies, maybe less, during the first printing since there are mainly promotional items... and I'm making them myself.
Make sure you check out my blog, "Larry West Sketch Book". I'll be updating it ofter with new sketches, projects, etc, and it's worth seeing if for no other reason than to see the creative process.
Finally, a book I've been working on, "Monsters in My Head", still isn't done. It's on hold for a while due to a few issues.

I am VERY pleased to announce that today I have put up for auction prints of my most recent series, "Your Candidate Sucks"! The reason I'm so pleased is because I am donating 20% of the money from each sale to the Alzheimer's Association National Office! My grandmother currently suffers from this disease and I am more than willing to donate money to help fight this horrible disease!
CLICK ON AN IMAGE TO GET TO THE AUCTION!
Each print has an opening bid of $40, and right now, I won't make a dime from this. All the money from the base price goes straight to the cost of having these printed. I am serious when I say I want to help these charities! They all measure 24" x 30" and will be printed on slightly larger stock upon request.
Finally, I am selling the lot of all three pieces for $120, again at cost. 20% of the money raised will be donated to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, my favorite charity.
They defend First Amendment rights for artists, and I am more than ready to support them!
I'm just glad everyone on here can agree that, while you may not like all the candidates, at least they can do some good by helping out some great causes!
Bid now, spread the word, repost this thing, and help out some great causes!!!!!!

To say I'm busy is an understatement. I'm taking some time out to announce the new pro-Democracy and Get the Vote Out Effort. Within the past few months, Shepard Fairey has come out with a new series of pieces based on Obama. Myself? I hate all the people running:
There is a distressed version of each image that I'll post later. Each image posted now links to a larger version. BUY THE POSTERS AT ZAZZLE.COM.
Over the weekend, I will start holding auctions on all three pieces. Each auction will see at least 50% GO TO CHARITY! You read right, half the money goes to a good cause! Each poster will be hand silk-screened approximently 50 times, and since I assume only 5 of each run will come out good since I'm not good at silk-screening, we'll see what happens. No posters will be silk-screened before the auction, only because the money from the auction will help pay for all the supplies.
That is all for now, look for more in the next few days!

OK, I'm working on a lot of new projects, namely in terms of merchandising. I have some new pieces of art in the work, as well as a ton of comissions. I'm working on a new book called "Monsters in My Head" which should be coming out soon.
I'm also in the process of developing a lot of new services and, just like when you go to McDonalds, there will be Value Meals... er, I mean, "Value Packs". I have had one planned for a LONG time, at least since the last web site revamp in September, and I should have an announcement within the week.
I plan on selling Cellphone Wallpapers. Should be coming soon! I have a lot of pieces just basically ready to go out there that I already have on my own phone.
There is a new line of clothing that I plan on coming out with. The difference from what I have already? It will all be done BY HAND! As an added bit of interest, all U.S. orders will be done through a new internet paying service. I will have more later.

Ah, life. It is a weird and mysterious thing. One day you're mourning, another you're celebrating. One day you're wondering how you're going to pay your bills, the next you're graduating college and spending your summer doing things you never thought possible. Next thing you know, you're running for mayor of the 6th largest city in America and wondering just what you're going to do in case it doesn't turn out good.
That said, you're pretty much caught up to speed. This site has FINALLY been updated! I haven't touched this place since at least March of 2006, and it was largely because my Senior Year was wrapping up and I couldn't. After that... well, life.
This site is being built in at least 90% CSS. I'm very proud of that, and I will be using mostly CSS for all my websites in the future. It's weird... I spent nearly my entire "Web Life" using HTML. In fact, my first web sites ever had me writing out HTML by hand until I finally got Dreamweaver 5 years ago. I'm very proud of this web site and feel it's one of the best I've done in years!
Well, sit back and enjoy the site! News about various new projects will be posted as it happens, and that's about it!
