Sebastian Mesnard kindly invited me to take part in Gallery Nucleus' upcoming show Edward Scissorhands 20th Anniversary Tribute, and above is a little preview of the piece I did for it. I chose to illustrate the scene where Edward is rushed by the suburban housewives and all their ambrosia salads. One of my favorite scenes among tons in this movie, which made it hard to choose! It'd been years since I'd seen Edward Scissorhands so it was great to rewatch it, and I remembered just how lovely this movie is. It stands the test of time pretty well too! It's not as dated as you might expect it to be.
If you want to see my full piece, check out the Scissorhands 20th blog. There are so many great pieces by great artists in the show and it's absolutely worth a look! Thanks again, Seb!

ARGUS, the many-eyed demi-god, is a psychic-type mystical fighter who specializes in paralyzing her opponents with her gaze and holding them in crippling mental pain. Nearly impossible to sneak up on, she maintains a vigilant defense against physical attacks with evasive hovering, as any contact with her eye-covered body can do serious damage. The large eye on her forehead, when opened, casts a heavily destructive wide beam of light, but it forces all of Argus's other eyes closed and leaves her vulnerable for the duration. An orbiting shroud covers the eye until she needs its power. Fighters that want to take on Argus should employ blinding techniques: bright flashes of light, obstructive smoke, or sprays of ink. While impervious to attacks of willpower, physical attacks can bring Argus down easily if fighters manage to blind all of her eyes.
Okay, now come up from that deep dark pool of nerdiness...this is Argus, my submission to Jenn Woodall's latest anthology zine, FIGHT! Round 1! It features many talented illustrators the likes of Kali Ciesemier, Sam Bosma, Jimmy Giegerich, Valentin Seiche + more, and it's gonna be rad as hell.
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!

It's cold in my house. But I'm enjoying a new scarf. But I ate a dissatisfying brownie. Trade-offs.

thank you! Ugh, yes, Goblin was fantastic. They were all so psyched to be there too! SUCH a rad show. The Suspira (of course) and Deep Red themes gave me goosebumps. You can pick up a Suspiria shirt at Pizza Party's site here.
