The seedier side of New York City cinema, as depicted by pigeons! Every scene you see in this illustration, is a moment from a classic, and sometimes not-so-classic, New York City film. Specifically the films that have CRIME! Scandal, sex, murder, drugs, violence, guns, and breakdancing. Can you find your favorite scene?!
It’s also jigsaw puzzle! Which you can buy here, at CreateJigsawPuzzles.com! And you can also buy it printed on so much more; wall art, phone case, shirts, n’ more!

I love making comix! I love making Hidden Pictures! How cool to do both?! But can YOU find all the hidden objects? (You!)
I animatic’d these fun little musical shorts for PBS Kids’ ‘City Island’! There are ten in total, all in different musical genres (Glam Rock, Country, Hip Hop), all from a different City Island character’s POV, and each tackling a different civic-related topic; (Block Parties, Voting, Media, Mail Delivery). All the music was written by Tunde Adebimpe of ‘TV On The Radio’. Fun fact: he wrote a David Bowie style song here (‘Let’s Vote!), and once collaborated with David Bowie! Whoa!
You can watch them all here, but below are my favorites:
I worked on this fun piece for General Mills! I drew all the monsters from the classic Monster Cereals— which to be honest I’ve never tried. Not a huge fan of colorful cereal. But I AM a fan of Travis Barker, and he’s in it!
Get ‘em while they’re hot!! It’s the Jigsaw Puzzle all “Jan 6ers” don’t want you to see! Fun for the whole traitor-hating family!! And you can now buy the poster, in many forms; Canvas Print, Art Print, and framed!
Unfortunately, I was unable to include The Seditious Scumbag Checklist in the jigsaw puzzle box, but you can grab it here, print it out, and have even more seditious fun!
And, I’m thrilled to announce, 20% of profits will go to Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote. Per their website:
“For too long, young people and people of color have been left out of the political process. [Donations go towards] resources to our volunteers in communities around the country working to help us close the race and age voting gap.”
Haha, those insurrectionists would hate that!
This is a meticulously researched illustration/puzzle of the violence, weapons, buffoonery, and people that took part in the January 6th Insurrection. EVERYTHING you see here actually happened! EVERYONE you see here is an actual person that took part! See it BIG here! And see the Checklist BIG here!
It took me months not just because of the amount of drawing, but more so because I wanted to make sure that I got ALL the important facts, and people, right.
I’m revealing it just ahead of the two-year anniversary. And I’ll be releasing it as a poster and a jigsaw puzzle very soon, for purchase. Stay tuned for that!
And don’t forget to do the checklist! Tag me @brianmichaelweaver when you’re done! #insurrectionchecklist

I worked with language-teaching experts Duo Lingo on their annual tech and product expo, DUOCON!!! It was all-online this year, but they wanted it to have the feel of an IRL tech conference. So we took two of their most popular characters— goth-y Lily, and energetic Zari— and had them “host” the show! I mainly worked on the very first segment here, that starts at 00:1:10. But if you’re into the fantastic array of characters that make up the language-learning app, or just storytelling in general, check out the awesome talk by Duo Lingo’s Head of Animation, Linda Simensky, at 1:22:00.

Here’s a couple puzzles I made for Puddler, an adorable magazine borne from its adult counterpart, Duck Magazine! They’re magazines mostly about ducks. And frankly, I think that’s fine.

This is part of a maze book I’m working on. SNEAK PEAK!!
I was an animatic artist for Swan Boy on FX’s Cake! It’s a great show by a great comedic actor, Branson Reese. I animatic’d the below sequence! And I think that’s my whistle at the end there.
Here’s a piece I did jointly for Highlights Magazine and Ocean Spray. The best part about this assignment: I actually grew up only minutes from where this Cranberry Festival takes place! (South Jersey) And I’d been to this festival many times! Check out the full mini-mag with lots more puzzles here!
