I Want To Watch The Sun Set On Mars With You.

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.

This new spot for The New Yorker's Bar Tab column features an enthusiastic patron of Winnie's, a karaoke bar in Chinatown. You can read the article online here. Thanks to my AD Deanna Donegan.

Thank you, Catherine Coulson, for giving us such a beloved character. You will be missed.

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.

Got to.

It's been awhile since I've updated, but I'm really looking forward to this year and everything I have lined up to work on. I'll be participating in some very exciting (to me and my nerd self at least) exhibitions soon, and I have a compilation zine in the works which I'm psyched to get started on/spreading the word about as well.

Stay tuned all!

Hey everybody! I'm starting some special commissions as a way to raise funds for printing my next comic, "Tales from Aeaea #2"!

If you love cooking and maybe also have an appreciation for the strange or fantastic, I'll create a full-body portrait of you in the style of my "Cauldrons & Casseroles" zine. You could become a witch crafting cupcakes, a goblin making goulash, or a necromancer raising the bread! (I'm so sorry...wait–no wait, don't go!)

Here are the details:

For $75, you'll get an original ink drawing of yourself transformed into a fantastic character making your favorite dish, with a full background at 8.5" X 11" on archival bristol paper shipped to your door.

For an extra $25, I'll color your ink drawing like the examples above and mail you a print on high-quality 8.5" X 11" matte paper along with your original ink drawing.

Curious about what your portrait might look like? Take a look at these images from my "Cauldrons" zine!

If you'd like an original piece by me, personalized and completely unique, send me an email! I'll need a photo of you, your dish of choice, and any other preferences you might have. Payment required upfront. Domestic US shipping costs are included. I’ll provide a quote for international shipping. Pieces will be produced and mailed in order of requests made.

You can also visit my store here to pick up a copy of “Cauldrons & Casseroles” and the first “Tales from Aeaea.”

Thanks so much for taking a look and please share!

Another one for the New Yorker’s Bar Tab column: Sweet Afton, an Irish, pickle-minded pub that sounds like it stepped straight out of my dreams. Read the article online here.

Fantastic Tales II from Scout Books' Good Ink: American Shorts series just came out, and it features the short story I illustrated last year, "The Isle of Voices" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Other mini books in the set are "The Giant's Heart" by George MacDonald, illustrated by Lark Pien; and "Mowgli's Brothers" by Rudyard Kipling, illustrated by Rebecca Dart. This was a lot of fun to work on, and I loved the story I got assigned. Thanks to editor François Vigneault for including me in the series!

You can pick up the Fantastic Tales II set for $12 and check out all the other Good Ink: American Shorts sets from Scout Books here. All are illustrated beautifully by many talented artists and come in nicely-packaged mini-book form. They're all great little classics that are definitely worth revisiting.

After just 24 hours Damn Fine Coffee! is over 250% funded! I'm blown away! Thank you all so much for your support. You've guaranteed that the zine will not only happen, it'll be the best that it can be and will make it to many more hands than I expected. I'm so glad that everyone's excited about this project, has been contributing and sharing it with their friends, and I'm psyched to get your zines and prints and drawings into your hands.

It hardly needs to be said, but I just have to thank all my talented contributors again, as none of this would have been possible without them. There is just so much gorgeous work in the zine. Some you might have already enriched your eyes upon and plenty that will be an excellent surprise. I hope you get the chance to check it all out either by pre-ordering through Kickstarter or by picking up a copy of Damn Fine Coffee! at SPX this year!
