Matt as Pikachu by Pat Loika. Commissioned by AAl, this depicts Matt in "the most horrifying moment of the entire ordeal - that dread moment of anticipation." Never before has an artist so perfectly captured exactly what was in AAl's mind. The real question is, why was THIS in AAl's mind at all?

AAl vs. WiiFit by Pat Loika. Also commissioned by AAl. Intended to be a companion piece to the Matt/Pikachu drawing, AAl wanted to encapsulate just as much shame and humiliation as the previous, by depicting both his tribulations with the passive-aggressive leader of the robot apocalypse (aka the Wiifit) and his latent incest fascination. Full bonus points to Pat for not only depicting AAl in creepy Adidas shorts (which Dave, for some reason, has pictured AAl wearing for years), but also filling out the background with over a dozen little in-jokes.

SV logo by Dave Fields. As Annie Ladner was laboring to complete the official SV logo, Dave picked up on AAl's frustrations that the thing had not been finished and produced his own in a few short minutes. Despite - or perhaps because of - the fact that it happened so quickly, the drawing managed to neatly sum up the show and Matt & AAl's relationship in a way that even Annie's highly professional looking logo could not.

Are You Smarter Than An Apricot? A passing reference made by Matt, this was assembled by enthusiastic listener/future guest Terry Drosdak (aka T-Dro) in hopes that it might one day end up on a t-shirt.

Cover for podcast 6 The very first piece of original art produced by an outside artist for the show. Scott Ziolko may have alienated himself with AAl over the whole donut thing, but he also began a trend that snowballed into something quite amazing and threw together a pretty entertaining piece of artwork besides. Here it is presented in its original non-cropped glory, unbefouled by logos and titles.

Cover for podcast 13 Pat Loika really went above and beyond for this piece, which nicely sums up what the show was about at this early stage: Back to the Future, Shake Hands with Danger, a hungry shark and, of course, Orson Welles. Pat rounded out the picture with a drawing of AAl's favorite Transformer, Starscream. (Pat had drawn this character for AAl previously, and it's also a nod to the video reviews that he was still producing.) The overall layout of this cover is also an homage to the first Justice League International cover by Kevin Maguire. Presented in original dimensions without title and logo.

Cover for podcast 14 Not to be outdone, Angel Robinson brought a different approach to her first cover art, depicting AAl and Matt in their now-infamous "gay Justice League" outfits, casting herself as "the lone girl in the comic shop" and working in a few references to the guys' failed comics and, naturally, tentacles. Presented in original dimensions without title and logo.

Cover for podcast 28We often take our ad-libs in strange directions on the show, but Vampire Stalin was something special. Vampirologist Irene Peinhopf mentioned in the pre-show that she thought former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin was sexy, and she managed to fairly effortlessly incorporate this into the actual discussion on the show. AAl began to conceive the teaser art for an imagined Vampire Stalin movie and the idea may have died there, if not for Lyn Brantley. Apart from being an amazing graphic designer, Lyn is also a mustache aficionado, and approaching her with this concept was something of a no-brainer. What she produced was absolutely amazing, and deserves to be seen in its full-sized glory here. Because... DAMN.

SV Romantic Comedy If Hollywood made a romantic comedy about the Sarcastic Voyage podcast, is this what it would look like? Friend of the show Terry Drosdak ("tdro") Made this delightful poster for us.

Sarcastic Voyage! Nick Thompson provided us with his vision of what a sarcastic voyage might look like. I can't say that it represents what it feels like to work for AAlgar, because he would throw me overboard.
