Hi! I Was Wondering If It's Possible To Submit Art For The Twin Peaks Zine, Or If You're Just Selecting

what's this then?

I made this struggling little moth for this article in today's New York Times Op-Ed pages. It's about the ongoing battle on women's reproductive health and the author's frustration over the fact that this debate still goes on.

Thanks to AD Matt Dorfman!

The first thing I will tell you is: there's a zine I'm putting out called Damn Fine Coffee! A Twin Peaks Fan Zine.

The second thing is: the owls are not what they seem.

The third thing is: Damn Fine Coffee! debuts this year at SPX.

That's right! You may have been seeing some awesome work floating around for the zine I'm putting together: Damn Fine Coffee! A Twin Peaks Fan Zine. I will be at SPX this year where you can get your hands on it and feast your eyes on Twin Peaks homages by over 30 incredibly talented artists.

Damn Fine Coffee! will be going into production soon, and I'll be posting updates on availability, price, and the possibility of pre-orders (because folks have been asking, which is very exciting) here on my blog. You can also check out my twitter for quick updates too.

Here's the cover and a quick sampling of some of the rad work you'll find in the zine by Ping Zhu, Gant Powell, and Ryan Fortney.

The support and the excitement from everybody has been really encouraging so thanks and stay tuned!

here’s a little glimpse of the new zine I’m working on ✏️ #wip

Hi Andrea, I was in Greg's Monday class this past semester and I found your Tumblr by chance. I didn't know you had graduated MICA already, I assumed you were still a student because you were Greg's TA. It's so cool that you've done illustrations for NY Times! How did you get such a big client like that? I guess I'm just kinda gushing now. I guess I'll leave this message by saying I really admire your work =]

Hey miss ma'am! Haha I'm...glad? you thought I was a student. But no, that youthful glow and non-jaded outlook on the bitterness of life left me when I graduated MICA....Counterpoint: did I mention how I think Sailor Moon is super fun? And did you see? Kali turned me into a sailor scout! wee!

Anyhow, I actually got contacted by the NY Times rather than the other way around, which was (is) a hugely exciting thing, but probably not to be relied on as a typical occurrence. My best recommendation is to do what I do too little of and promote yourself as much as you can. Be friendly, make contacts, and send your promos out to all the people you want to work with. But most importantly, just keep making work, even if it's just for you. Try not to get seduced by trends, always aim for making yourself proud, and put some soul into your work (by loving what you do)! You never know who'll notice you. 

Thanks so much, Shirley! Best of luck!!

Saturday is the opening of Q Pop's Akira Toriyama tribute show in honor of Dragon Ball's 30th Anniversary. Here's my little contribution: the two sides of Launch, a quirky character that I've always loved. Details for the event here.

A new illustration for the New Yorker’s Bar Tab column, this one for Johnny’s Bar in the West Village. Thanks to AD Deanna Donegan.

Jimmy started the cutest, funniest daily tumblr and everyone should check it out everyday and remember the things that we loved when we were 6-year-old babies in the world.

Welcome to i like monsrs wen they fite!  20 years ago today I started second grade at an elementary school in upstate New York.  My teacher had us keep daily journals where we’d write and draw pictures.  I found this journal a few years ago and have decided now, exactly 20 years later, I need to share my drawings of monsters, Street Fighter II, dinosaurs, monsters, Mortal Kombat, X-Men, and monsters, as well as my teacher’s pretty passive aggressive responses to them.  This blog will be updated almost daily with a new page from my journal on the day that I drew it.

hey is damn fine coffee available to buy on the internets? co-workers all over the place be askin where they can get their hands on it !!!

Oh man! Excellent!

So here's the status on Damn Fine Coffee!: Right now, I'm sorting and mailing out the books already spoken for from my Kickstarter campaign. Once those are set aside, I'll be putting the books online to sell. I should have something around 150 available (a more accurate quantity pending), and they'll be $10 before shipping. So check back soon! I'll be posting again with an update and link to buy the books in the next few days. Thanks!

I did this piece for an article in the New York Times about how a survivor of domestic abuse is drawn to listening to true crime podcasts. You can read the article online here.
