OK, I can finally show this! My latest poster for the Abilene Roller Derby Holy Smokes upcoming bout on July 18! My prompt from the team captain; base it on the iconic poster for ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, a 1950's monster movie classic (?).

Hey friend! I looked over the issue Jane got, and dang! Love it, and the inks are SO tight and on point. Really digging the look of all this new work, and the previous stuff was already knocking it out of the park. Love ya, keep being awesome. : )

NO SLOP. Don't give up what makes you creative to A.I.; don't give up screwing around, screwing up, learning from those screw-ups, and paying attention to the little points that exist between planned actions. Don't give up the rigor of learning from your work by doing the work.

Here's my Top 9 images created for clients and personal projects for 2025. An interesting mixed bag, but fun for the range of subject matter. Thanks to all the great clients and friends who reached out for design and illustration work this year; you keep me working to get a little better each year.

I will be playing a pre-show 80's DJ set ahead of Thomas Dolby's November 15th show at Bell's Brewery Back Room! I'll be spinning an eclectic, hand picked selection of favorites from the era, ranging from deep cuts to old favorites, all leading up to the main event. www.etix.com/.../thomas-d....

New poster design for Abilene Roller Derby, this month the theme is La Luchadora, and I did my best to convey the old school vibe of these warriors alongside the badassery of the derby skaters. Each poster this season has had a different art theme, and it has kept me on my toes. Enjoy!

Is there a term for when you want both combatants in a fight to fail and be defeated? Like "bursting into flames and exploding like every scene in a Michael Bay movie" kind of defeat? Gotta be some fancy, cool word for that...

Paul Sizer @paulsizer.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

OK; in the spirit of "Something For Everyone" and inclusion, here's your MerMan for MerMay. Definitely to the "Bear" side of the spectrum, so maybe MerBear is the term we're going with on this one? You input is welcome on this one.

Science builds futures that help everyone. Science is not worried about opinions. Science finds truth, not expected results. Science lets us understand our place in the world.

Fire up your turntables and collect your poppies, it's Record Store Day again, and once again the Munchkins at Green Light Music have commissioned me to design their poster. A little bit Dead, a little bit Oz, and all of the music trippy love I could cram into it!

Fight for empirical knowledge, fight for reason, fight the powers that fear science and rational thought and problem-solving. They fear science because they fear truth and logic.

When you build with intention, the mathematics of forms will reveal themselves, and when we step out of the way and trust our eyes to make decisions, we are rewarded with all the things that we didn't plan on.

I've worked with the Abilene Texas roller derby team for many years now, and when they decided to change their team identity this year, I was happy to help them become the Holy Smokes. This design will be incorporated into new team uniforms, and used with all upcoming online and print materials.

Once again, I'm honored to be included in the love and support of my local club, and last night at Vortex was a really special one. Full of hope and energy, borne of mix of loss and remembrance and community, it was a reminder that Vortex serves many purposes for many people in the community.

I designed this poster back in 2011; guess I was ahead of my time? Still, I dig how it turned out, the ability to show without showing. : ) Enjoy.

remember when Laura Ingraham did this at the RNC and everyone was like "relax, you guys, it was just an awkward wave, haha, it's fine, there's no chance they'd just do this on a live broadcast, it'd destroy their entire reputation!! don't be such an lib alarmist" and then nobody did anything

“5 O’Clock Scruff Hunk” (2024) Factory Coffee painting exercise, messing with volume via color, and just messing around to mess around. ; ) Hard to give up the ink lines, but I tried to minimize them. My anatomy on this one owes more to Muppets than human, but I'm happy with the overall vibe.

“Basement Dance Party” (2024) Digital painting exercise, because it’s raining and gross outside today. Also, just felt like doing something different with some mood.
