Tatiana the tiger, RIP

As anyone with a TV or internet connection has heard, a Siberian tiger named Tatiana was shot and killed on Christmas Day after she escaped from her enclosure at the San Francisco Zoo and mauled three teenagers, killing one.



This is off topic for Same Hat, but I felt like posting a Tatiana memorial after getting back to SF and reading more of the depressing details about this mess.

Last December, Evan took some pictures of Tatiana at the SF Zoo to use in a new piece-- coincidentally just 4 days before she mauled one of her keepers! (That attack was determined to be due to negligence on the part of the zoo, and they were fined.)

Here is Evan's fantastic photo-illustration that came out of those pics from last December:

BIRTH

Hey kids, Evan here. I just finished the rather huge art project I've been working on for the past 2 weeks... a triptych of illustrated-photography with the theme of "Birth". I'd post them directly here, but they are very much not safe for work (nudity and blood), so click one of the previews below or here to see the pictures.



I put a total of over 3 days worth of prop-building, shooting, clean-up, Wacom tablet drawing, and lots of editing into these, so I very much hope you enjoy them. The idea behind these works had been in my mind for a few months now, so it was very satisfying to make them into a reality. Extra thanks to Dona for modelling!

Light Reaper

hey kids, Evan here.

Sorry about the slow-goings around here lately. Ryan and I have been working on some longer projects that we can't really post in small chunks... Just to let you know, coming soon we have:

1. a Junji Ito comic
2. an original comic that Ryan's writing and I'm illustrating
3. an original comic that I'm writing & illustrating

Also, just to let you know in advance, Same Hat will have a table at this year's Alternative Press Expo (APE) in San Francisco, April 8-9. We're sharing the table with our very talented friends Derek Yu and Hellen Jo. The four of us will be listed in the program as "The Bang Gang". Hope to see you there.

One more thing, I made a new illustrated-photograph:

DIVINE INTERVENTION

Evan here. I made a new illustrated photo a couple days ago. It's not horror-themed, but it might still appeal to you...

THE DOLLS!

Hey kids, Evan here. First off, thank you very much for all the kinds words on our Bible comic. I had lots of fun doing it, and am pestering Ryan to get another script ready for me to illustrate... We'll post more info when we're ready to sell paper copies.

Ryan was out of town for the holiday, and I was sick most of the weekend, so not much new content to post right now, however... I made a new photo-illustration on Saturday which I figured would appeal to you horror fans. Ball jointed dolls gone wrong...

BISECT

Evan here. I made a new photo-illustration last night and I thought you kids may be interested, since I was going for a gory & surreal type thing...

In other news, Ryan & I have something BIG that we're working on right now...
