Pope Awesome Post, Great Job!

This is a self-promo piece entitled On the Diagrammatic and Mechanical Representation of Tim and Eric. It is inspired by the comedy show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!. It is a twisted and nightmarish take of television, from it's awkward public access skits to it's questionable infomercials. I wanted to capture the awkwardness and tension that is often used within the deadpan humor of the show. The title comes from a paper, written by John Venn, the creator of the Venn Diagram. The concept is more subtle in this piece, with Tim and Eric's hair overlapping into one ambiguous shape, representing their strange minds connecting together to create the show. The composition and colors are inspired by old awkward photos from the 1960s/1970s

This piece is also a gift to my girlfriend Nicole, who is a big fan of the show. Judging by her MS Paint drawing below, I think she liked it.
