Illustrations

John Linnell fights with a man in a hospital bed over an electric knife. The image is purple, green, and yellow. A blue alien woman with a raygun steps on John Flansburgh's neck. In the background there is a far-off space city and a comet. A young man with colorful pants sits in a chair. Many hands bother him. A sign reading HORRIBLE points at him. The background is yellow. Loose redrawing of a concert photo of Linnell playing keyboard. The image is lit red. Linnell and Flansburgh sit and talk to Kermit the Frog. John Linnell looks up from a keyboard. At the top of the stairs is a wooden chair. The drawing is sepia tones. A man stands on a railroad track at night, looking up. A constellation reaches down to him. A train's headlights approach. The man from the Flood cover, the woman from the Nanobots, and the girl from John Henry pose as if for a family photo. John and John lie down in a field of flowers. The 2018 Johns strike an action pose. Caption: Still plotting world domination at the age of 58. The Johns are statues, smashed open to show internal organs. Their pedestals are on fire.

EditsBack to Top

I also sometimes use Photoshop for non-joke purposes—check out the photo colorizations under the Graphics section.

A Guy-Fieri style flame pattern is photoshopped onto John F's black shirt. John F raises his guitar as flames rise behind him. John F holding his cat edited to look like the cover of Spirit Phone. The cover of Sparks: Angst In My Pants with John F as the groom, John L as the bride. The cover of Sparks: Propaganda with the Johns edited in. The text reads TMBG Flood. A young John F with his hair edited an inch further down to cover his eyes. Margarine tin with the Johns edited on. Caption: May Or May Not Contain Giants. Ernie plays piano and Bert holds a copy of the album Lincoln.
