Me And @Jimpaler At #SPX. It Was Super & I Can't Wait To Do It Again! (Taken With Instagram)

It's official!  I've flip flopped a lot, but Tumblr is now the new home for my illustration blog.  Just the fact that I feel more inclined to update this baby tells me that this is probably the way to go.  It's good timing because I've been feeling really excited about working lately, getting new things started, keeping a proper sketchbook, and being overall less precious about my art.  Not everything needs to be perfect, but it's worth it to just put things down, and draw and draw and draw.  And after all perfection is subjective.  That's going to be my outlook for this year, and I'm hoping that fun new work will result, so keep checking back! 

Somehow at some point my blog passed 1,000 followers (1100!). Wow! What are all you people doing here?? 

Me and my fox friend want to welcome you ♥

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

Here’s a new piece for the December issue of aiCIO about partnership and the sharing of technology and knowledge. Thanks to AD SooJin Buzelli for letting me wax cyberpunk on this one. Check out the article online here.

While you’re doing that, I’ll just be over here re-reading Neuromancer…

HOLY HELL KALI YOU ARE AMAZING (she got my colors right and everything <3)

Not only is Andrea Kalfas an amazing artist, but she’s my best buddy, all-around lovely lady, AND IT’S HER BIRTHDAY TODAY! THIS IS FOR HER! I wanted to pay her back for her bootylicious gift to me, and I’m sure you can guess what we’ve been watching a lot of, lately. Happy Birthday girl! Thank you for protecting us all with your powers of love and justice and badassery!!!!

Plains Prince.

He's another demo gouache painting I did for Kali's illustration students. His silhouette's a little lacking, but I still had a lot of fun painting him and his buffalo-teeth cloak.

"Tales from Aeaea" is a 28-page collection of stories about the various citizens of Aeaea, the isle of Circe, goddess of magic. Centuries ago, Aeaea, the isle to which Circe was exiled, was a place imbued with her magic, and docile lions and bears roamed its woods. "Tales from Aeaea" is set in a universe in which Circe was celebrated, rather than scorned, and she embraced her exile, making the isle flourish. Its citizens are students of magic, world-spanning sailors, and many are descendants of the isle's enchanted animals of old.

Here's a sneak peak of a couple pages from Saturn and Egon's story (who you might remember from my previous zine, "Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri and Familiars Arcane", a sort-of prequel).

"Tales from Aeaea" will premier at the Small Press Expo, September 13 & 14. Come see me there, and stay tuned for more updates!

Something foul has stepped into the garden...!

The full illustration will have to wait until November.  In the meantime, working on a new alphabet chart that I'm excited to show very soon!

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.

Here's a cover illustration for the December issue of Nashville Scene on stands now. This is on a story about widespread tear-downs in neighborhoods with historic World War II era houses. You can read the full story online here. Thanks to AD Elizabeth Jones for the fun project!
