Well I loved the first illustration by Schadenfriend Andrew DeWitt of me as Mike Donovan in the original V miniseries so much that I decided to order another one, this time featuring my brother and me as Drake and Hicks in Aliens kicking a ton of ass. Lemme repeat that — this is an illustration of me and my brother kicking ass in the movie Aliens. What’s up. These are just a ton of fun, you guys. I highly recommend getting one. You basically talk to DeWitt on the phone and tell him what you think would be a hot movie to be in, then you email him a few photos and some screenshots of the movie and he takes it from there. Hey Chicago comedy community: hire DeWitt to do these illustrations so he can make the world’s weirdest coffee table book. I am absolutely serious. Telfer’s got one and Jamie Buell has one in the works. DeWitt, you need to start a business doing these, dude. I will gladly go around asking people “Hey, man! What’s your favorite movie? Yeah, cool. How ’bout you STAR in that movie. What’s up. Check this out…” Just register the LLC in Delaware because Stephe said you save on taxes.
Formed in 1997, Schad began performing sketch comedy on Chicago’s north side. The troupe has since performed at countless venues around the world including The Goodman Theatre, The Second City, Steppenwolf, Lollapalooza, ImprovOlympic, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (LA), HERE (NYC) and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

This is so great! I think I’m going to get me with the cast of the 1978 Spider-Man tv show.
I’m still debating. Me as McReady from the Thing is pretty tempting.
Do it guys!
Are you getting a discount from DeWitt for pushing his paintings? You should Sandy. I’m guessing he wouldn’t charge you full price for all the business you are bringing in. That would be ridiculous. Seriously, the Schad reader is going to pay Dewitt’s rent this month so I hope he recognizes that.
Yeah – those paintings are the nuts. I can’t wait to see mine. I told Andrew he should do one on spec of Stephen Colbert as a Jedi.
Do it Fred!
Justin keeps things light and fun. Kidding, I love you, bro and really miss joking with you at work. My rates are suuuuuper below what people normally charge for commissioned paintings. You will love the work I do and you can soon have your own kick ass painting. So put your money where your mouth is Justin and get a commissioned painting of you in a Warriors vest beating the holy shit out of a Baseball Fury. Big props to Sandy and Schad for giving me a shout out for this stuff! These paintings are the wave of the future.

Let’s put you in your favorite movie. I also will put you in your favorite comic book or novel. Anyone got a kid they want in Ender’s Game? Who wants to be Muad’Dib? Wanna doge bullets while a 3 titted hooker and a midget shoot at the police? Let’s get this done.
Hey I would love a discount, maybe I can get the 5th one free or something. I’m going to start a collection and will get a new one every now and then. DeWitt, this is like when they were in California and they realized there’s only so much gold before it’s a pain in the ass to find more gold, so grab it while you can and do as many of these sci-fi movies starring random comedy people.
Jamie has a great call to do one for Colbert. In one of the hallways there, they have a bulletin board chock full of fan mail. Send it and they just might put it up.
Stephen Colbert dressed as Judge Dredd for no good reason.
5th one Free. Done. That applies to anyone. Get ‘em now folks before this becomes too huge!!
Awesome! 5th one is free guys.
That’s not good enough. Also, it means nothing to say “this is much lower than others charge for commissioned paintings” because who buys a commissioned painting of Aliens or V from anywhere else? That’s like saying “yeah, well if I did that Judy Baar Topinka sketch for Microsoft annual meeting, I’d make 250k.”
You prove my point completely. Only Sandy would by a commissioned painting of Aliens or V. Which is why it’s so awesome! I love these paintings, and the people who buy them really enjoy them too. Try it out guys! Because I specifically tailor each painting to exactly the dork out fantasy of each person involved. It’s pretty rad. You should order one, Justin, once I put you in a movie, you’ll be hooked. What about Game of Death and you as Bruce Lee? Let me know!
Oh Justin,if only our rent was two paintings worth a month, only in Chicago…I wish we had you here to haggle with our landlord and demand the fifth month free then you could bark about how that’s still not good enough. It’s great to see someone with the artistic talent and skills that Andrew has rewarded.
P.S. I’ll write a Judy Baar Topinka sketch for 125k.
I’m just playing. For the record, I think Andrew is very talented! Those paintings are super awesome. and it’s great to have him making money at his art. I’m just riling him up for the schad.net fans. Bit closed.
Me Vs. The Thing. Coming soon!!!!!
Really? AWESOME.
Yeah dude and it’s gonna look dope as shit.
Great stuff. When it’s done lemme know and I’ll post it on the site.
