Ding! Level fifty.

Love,
Ryan

49. John Cusack is an Elder God

2009-04-01T07:36:00.003-04:00

Love,
Ryan

2009-03-31T02:31:00.001-04:00

Alternate title: Ew.

47. John Cusack is a Bunny

2009-03-30T07:35:00.001-04:00

I know I say I try not to make this thing autobiographical, but I spent five hours dressed as the Easter Bunny today. What else could I do?

Love,
Ryan

46. John Cusack is a Lumberjack

2009-03-28T20:10:00.003-04:00

This is how we lumberjack.
This is how we lumberjack.

Love,
Ryan

45. John Cusack is a Horrible Potato

2009-03-27T16:21:00.003-04:00

Ew. Finally one that is on time though. Hurray!

Love,

44. John Cusack is a Pretty Flower

2009-03-27T16:19:00.001-04:00

This one is for Jenna.

Love,

43. Ahkam's Razor applied to John Cusack

2009-03-27T16:16:00.002-04:00

Also, I'm not sure how that's spelled. Oh well. Bonus image later this weekend for lateness.

42. John Cusack is a Ghost, Forced to Live Out His Movies For Eternity

2009-03-24T22:44:00.003-04:00

Two Flashfacts: One, I'm experimenting in illustrator for this one. Good times? Two, I'm too sleepy to make this one good. Tomorrow, I'll draw a John Cusack so beautiful that it will go all Arc of the Covenant on you.

Love,
Ryan

PS Flashfact: That last bit was a lie.

41. John Cusack Has Made a Friend

2009-03-24T06:34:00.002-04:00

39. John Cusack is a Cake Wreck

2009-03-21T21:47:00.004-04:00

Nota Bene. This looks like a pile of turds on purpose. It refers to Cake Wrecks, which is a great site that you should love.

Love,
Ryan

38. John Cusack Has a Sweet New Bike

2009-03-21T07:54:00.002-04:00

This is about seventy five percent autobiographical. I have a bike, and it is sweet and new (to me anyway), but it is not a recumbent. Sigh. Someday.

Love,
Ryan

PS I'm starting to take a slightly more liberal definition of "a-day." As in, if I haven't gone to sleep yet, it still counts as Friday.

37. John Cusack is Ready To Got To His Convention

2009-03-20T04:54:00.004-04:00

Yes, it's a bit late, but it is in beautiful colour. It had to be otherwise is might have been trickier to figure out who he was dressed as.

Of course, I couloured it before I remembered to draw in the ears, sooooo...

Love,
Ryan

36. John Cusack Has Been Given a Wonderful Shirt

2009-03-19T04:58:00.001-04:00

Pro tip: It's his freaking face.

Love,
Ryan

35. John Cusack is Exploring New Branding Options

2009-03-17T22:32:00.002-04:00

Don't get fooled by the smooth taste.

Love,
Ryan

34. John Cusack is Two Eighth Notes

2009-03-17T00:55:00.003-04:00

This one is for Steve, because he has to make an album by next Friday. Godspeed.

Love,
Ryan

33. John Cusack is... Wait What?

2009-03-16T01:12:00.001-04:00

This one is just plain creepy. I think my brain is broke.

Love,
Ryan

32. Guess What Movie John Cusack Just Saw

2009-03-14T23:30:00.003-04:00

I will give you a hint. It is an anagram of roCaline. Also it kind of rhymes.

Love,
Ryan

31. John Cusack Has a Great Deal on Shamwow!® For You.

2009-03-14T00:39:00.003-04:00

They are just so absorbent.

If more than twelve people see this image I'll get sued, so shhhhh. Keep it on the downlow.

Love,
Ryan

30. John Cusack is Winning the Hot Air Balloon Race

2009-03-13T00:06:00.003-04:00

Inspired by my pants. This is the last day of copy pasta for quite some time, let's all hope.

Love,
Ryan

29. No. It is Just a Creepy Coincidence

2009-03-13T00:04:00.002-04:00

Love,
Ryan

28. Is This the End of John Cusack-a-Day?

2009-03-13T00:03:00.002-04:00

Copy pasta day two.

Love,
Ryan

27. John Cusack Should Not Have Visited the Island of Dr. Moreau for Spring Break

2009-03-12T23:59:00.003-04:00

This is where I decided that some copy pasta was in order due to vacation.

Love,
Ryan

PS I realize that that's not really how the book goes, but I like it the way it is okay?

26. John Cusack Has an Awesome Moustache

2009-03-12T23:57:00.004-04:00

Love,
Ryan

25. John Cusack Has Jet Lag

He also appears to have a pompadour.

Love,
Ryan

24. John Cusack is Going to Mess Somebody Up

2009-03-06T23:44:00.002-05:00

This week I'm going to be in San Francisco, so I will keep drawing one John Cusack per day, but they might be late getting posted. Either they'll be three hours late due to time difference, or if my internet access is spotty, I'll just upload when I get back to scenic Ohio.

23. John Cusack is Super Excited About the Watchmen

21. John Cusack is Spending All His Quarters on Marvel vs. Capcom

2009-03-03T23:48:00.004-05:00

The tablet is working! Yay!

Love,
Ryan

Edit: Adventures in digital coloring! Yay. I still need to figure it out a bit I think.

20. John Cusack is Serious About Team Fortress 2

2009-03-03T00:05:00.004-05:00

Alternate title: Either my tablet, my computer, or CS4 is insanely slow. I feel like the information I input into Photoshop through the tablet travels around the world before it actually registers in photoshop. It makes my head want to explode.

As a side note, the hair is done in the style of Kate Beaton. Ms. Beaton, on the off chance that you see this, please don't take it as an insult.

Love,
Ryan

Edit: Now in colour! Also, now my tablet is working properly! Hurray! I just updated everything as much as I could, and now everything is working. Thanks Adobe!

Love,
Ryan

16. John Cusack is Eating a Tofu-Dog

2009-02-26T23:48:00.003-05:00

Now in four glorious colours. Also hatching! Even cross hatching! Oh my goodness this is fancy living. Is this good? Should I stick with it? Who knows.

Love,
Ryan

15. John Cusack is Pretty Upset About His Pink Eye

2009-02-26T00:00:00.002-05:00

Blame Alec Baldwin for this lateness.

Love,
Ryan

PS Pink eye is the worst thing that can happen to your eyes. Not true, but I still hate it.

14. John Cusack is a Cowpoke

2009-02-24T23:18:00.002-05:00

Round two of that business. The first one I think is better quality, but oh well. Maybe I'll try coloring one some time?

Love,
Ryan

13. John Cusack Just Can't Get His Paper Done

2009-02-23T22:11:00.003-05:00

Guess what I did? I broke out my old Wacom tablet and it turns out that I'm much better at doing it this way. I probably will simplify in the future, but this was fun times.

Love,
Ryan

2009-02-21T23:58:00.004-05:00

PS Late? Oh no! Just a little bit though. Blame the internet.

10. John Cusack Has the Compulsive Need to Catch Them All

2009-02-20T23:23:00.001-05:00

Does this one even look like John Cusack?

Love,
Ryan

9. John Cusack Draws a Crowd

2009-02-19T23:51:00.001-05:00

This one goes out to the other Johns per day.

Love,
Ryan

8. John Cusack Can Not Believe You Just Blue Shelled Him

2009-02-18T23:55:00.004-05:00

I had this done earlier, so why not post earlier you ask? Well, I am crazy. Also, I need to hibernate.

Love,
Ryan

PS People from facebook, welcome to John Cusack-a-day. You look lovely this evening.

7. John Cusack Really Like Harry Potter

2009-02-17T23:27:00.003-05:00

2009-02-16T23:33:00.002-05:00

It had to happen eventually.

Love,
Ryan

5. John Cusack is Trying to Get Some Dang Sleep

2009-02-15T23:55:00.003-05:00

Incase any of you were wondering, no. This late post is not due to negligence or procrastination. I just don't have a scanner. So my capabilities are limited in this sense.

Love,
Ryan

4. Jon Cusack Got You a Valentine

2009-02-14T13:44:00.002-05:00

For some reason my brain always wants to spell John Cusack sans the "h." Don't ask me why. Anyway, I'ma fix this and re-upload it later.

Love,
Ryan

3. John Cusack Accomplishes His Mission

2009-02-13T14:54:00.004-05:00

Not a whole ton to say about this one. It would appear that I can't draw aircraft carriers though.

Love,
Ryan

2. John Cusack Waters His Lawn

2009-02-12T00:01:00.005-05:00

He is, as they say, limp hosing it.

Also, I should have mentioned, I draw these and then post them the next day. As in, I drew John limp hosing on Wednesday, and am now uploading it on Thursday. Dig?

Love,
Ryan

Edit: Apparently I am not the only one drawing one John per day. Check out Sean and Kelly for John's Malkovich and Lil' respectively. Hurray for friendship!

1. John Cusack Reads "The Dark Knight Returns"

2009-02-11T15:43:00.000-05:00

Hello! My name is Ryan, and I am a man. A man with an idea. Of course you've all seen Skull-A-Day, but now that the 365 days of skulls are over we must ask ourselves, "What else can we -a-day?" So, from the fertile soil tilled by Skull-A-Day, sprouts John Cusack-A-Day. Pretty much I am going to draw a picture of John Cusack every day for the next year. That much is pretty much obvious from the title. Where did this plan come from you ask? Well, you are asking the wrong guy.
Perhaps at some point I'll go all fancy up in this, with paints and digital inking/coloring. Maybe I'll carve John Cusack out of marble and cover him with gold leaf. Maybe I'll etch his face into the moon with my laser. For now, though, I think I'll stick with ink.

Love,
Ryan
