I made this for a flyer for a Halloween event flyer in October. Nothing fancy, but fun to look at. Things that are good on the internet right now: • A Cocktail Party In the Street: An Interview With Alan Stillman, the guy who started T.G.I. Friday’s (via The Best Time of the Day). There were very [...]
Finally watched Runaway (Kanye West’s short film/long music video) this week. It’s what you’d expect, basically an animated high-fashion editorial with weird, vague symbolism and some kinda heavy-handed racial commentary. That said, it is just lush as hell, and if you appreciate that flavor of eye-candy you’ll enjoy it. Runaway (the song) is hilarious to me while [...]
Illustration for Bliss Boutique. Art direction by Jennifer Muller. Love how this one turned out. It’s ink drawing scanned and digitally finished, like everything I’ve been doing lately, but I really enjoyed playing with the ink and paintstrokes on this one, the seed puffs especially (click to see larger image). The more I use ink, [...]

Back in the day, my friends Sarah, Jhane and I were gonna [...]

I found out recently (via the incredible Jennifer Muller) that one of the all-time greats Jason Holley (image above) finally has a [...]
David Fullarton (above) is my new favorite. Other former new favorites: David Shrigley (a god among mortals), Deb Sokolow. I just finished something awesome; I can’t post it til it gets officially okayed – so next coupla days. Keeping this post short, as I’m in an offensive mood and can’t, in good conscience, spread it [...]
Norman Rockwell – Southern Justice I KNOW, RIGHT?! I’ve been getting into Norman Rockwell lately – his draftsmanship is insane. I’d always avoided him just because I didn’t dig the americana propoganda sorta themes and the caricaturization. Recently I revisited some more well-known pieces to investigate his technical skills and stumbled across this. Take off [...]
