"Severian and the Undine" a scene from Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
I painted this piece for Seb Mesnard's upcoming gallery event in Paris "The Book Show." Thanks, Seb, for inviting me to participate! You can check out some of the other awesome work on the show blog here.
Book of the New Sun may be my favorite book series of all time. It's so astoundingly good, I don't really have adequate words. It transcends science fiction, fantasy, novel, whatever you want to call it, and is more an epic prose. It's just gorgeous, riveting, mind-blowing imagery and world-making by Gene Wolfe, a writer whose stories change and only get more amazing with each read. Just wow. You guys. You guys need to read it. Jimmy Giegerich introduced me to it. Check out his Severian!
Dusknoir! For Jordan Rosenberg's Ghost PokeZine. Check out details (because funding has ended and was successful! alright!) on its Kickstarter here. This was fun. Look at that little Eevee! So doofy and unsuspecting...
When are you guys going to be putting out the second zine? I'd like to contribute to something!
It's more a question of "if" than "when" really. "Damn Fine Coffee!" is the first large anthology-type zine I've made, and I'm undecided about whether I want to put out another issue or to move on! As I've told many other interested folks, if I make another one, it will be an open-call for submissions. I'll definitely spread the word about it if that happens, so keep your eyes open!
Also, I might add, the excitement for the zine and the interest everyone's expressed has been truly thrilling, but all I'm focusing on right now is getting this current issue out.

Last night was another Pizza Party After Dark at The Ottobar in Baltimore where The NeverEnding Story was shown and my poster was sold (also shirts!). It was a blast. If you're in the Baltimore area, get out here every last Sunday of every month for free movies, free pizza and rad screen-printed posters & shirts by Pizza Party Printing.
You can get said rad screen-printed goods and my NeverEnding Story shirt (poster coming soon) here!
Illustration for the New Yorker's Bar Tab column about a cozy-sounding trivia-night-loving bar in Brooklyn, Black Rabbit. I'm all in the mood for festive drinks now. Thanks to AD Deanna Donegan.
Embroidery in progress! It's been taking me forever to finish this bat boy because I'm just making a few stitches in between client projects, but I'm very excited to do more (when time allows!)...I've got...plans.....👿
Oh look. My big ol face!
