Sketches for class

I need to start posting current work more frequently...I am making a good deal of it, but not posting anything. I'm trying to keep up.
Now to update my website.

Sketching after class

New Sketches Added to My Website

I am really loving these frogmouths, a type of Aussie owl. I am currently painting some furniture and decorating it with these awesome birds. Photos of the furniture as it progresses.

Wines to buy and not to buy from Trader Joe's

I came across this article on the Paupered Chef website while searching for places to buy Vihno Verde, a Portuguese table wine that is slightly effervescent and usually citrusy. The writer seems knowledgable and is funny.
here is the site:

Best of Bop Street Band Photo Preview

This is one of two pages of "records" of the bands that will (eventually-once the CD is mastered) be featured in the Best of Bop Street compilation CD.
I created all of the artwork and design for this compilation and am excited to see it in print.

Attend the Drift show!

I have just moved away from Seattle and will be back in my hometown of Brighton, Mi and working in the great Ann Arbor for the summer until I move to Savannah, GA in the Fall to start a graduate program at SCAD.
I am sorry to have just missed this informal art show of my (former) artist collective, the Friends of the Nib. Here is the announcement for the show.

Happy Easter

Ork Posters

Have you seen these things? We are selling them at Annie's Art and Frame, where I work. The Chicago designer does it all by herself. The design is so simple and effective.
They have been selling out weekly. I hear they are extremely hot in Brooklyn as well. I love the Great Lakes, being a Michigander (living in Seattle) and all. She just added two new screenprint color options. I've added a few images here. See more at www.orkposters.com.

Bop Street Compilation CD

I've been more likely not to do anything social lately as I have been working for some time on the art and layout of a CD compilation for Bop Street Records. More to come as far as images and information.
It should be really something.

Screenprints!

I now have screenprints of one of my recent illustrations. They are for sale on Etsy or via contacting me. This green and black one was off of the original design, and is part of an edition of 58. These go for 20 bucks plus shipping. There is also a special edition with gold seen below. The gold and black ones are $25.

Limited Edition of 16...

Happy Halloween!

A friend sent me this photo where I look stupid or stoned at last week's Friends of the Nib Halloween show opening.

Cat's Out of the Bag

I just got back from a trip to Vegas to visit my brother, and when I unpacked my bag today, I found a surprise.

First ever "Life in Hell" comic strip

Here's my contribution to the Monocle volume 2, a Halloween themed promotional newspaper for the Friends of the Nib Halloween art show. It will be at the infamous Cafe Racer, which is getting a great makeover and expansion and should be unveiled in time for the show. Details to follow on the date of the show.

Look for the Monocle no. 2 coming to a local business near you, packed with monsters, games, comics and more.
