It's A Little Snowflake Sprite!

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.

This is one of my rejected sketches for how to go about drawing Edward.  It didn't make the cut, but I just love looking at it!  It's hilarious to me.

oh maannn, you were in NOBROW???? *follows* I have such love for that magazine. Someday all the issues will be mine. ALL OF THEM! :D

I was! And yes. They are awesome. Good goal!

hello sweet prince! quick little sketch of my current favorite drawing indulgence.

Drybrushing with sumi ink led to some nice & creepy skulls.

A few days ago, the Damn Fine Coffee! Kickstarter ended with wild success! I just want to send out a quick thanks to everyone who pledged their support, spread the word, and sent me and the contributing artists tons of encouragement. Thanks!

Now to the grindstone! (I mean the printing house! (I mean the Bookhouse! What?))

My man Jimmy is putting together a zine called Bits & Multiples of 8 for video game fan art from the original Nintendo system to Nintendo 64 (Sega + Playstation included), and he's just put out a call for submissions on his blog! The cover features characters from tons of games (see if you can name them all) and will make a lovely 4-color screen print on a lovely zine full of lovely work. Check it out! It'll be rad.

18" X 24" posters of my Queen Emeraldas piece will be for sale at SPX this year in addition to my other offerings. It's rad to see it printed large! If you think so too and might want to put one on your wall, they're just $20, AND only 25 of them will be available.

To find them at the expo, look for me surrounded by the collective radness of Kali Ciesemier (whose handy map I've borrowed from her tumblr), Sam Bosma, and Jimmy Giegerich. We'll see you there!

I liked that NYT illustration so much when I first saw it earlier this week; I'm glad it showed up again in my Tumblr feed. Your art is really fantastic, and it encourages me to keep drawing! Best, Sam

Thank you so much!! Your kind words will encourage me to keep drawing too! (Let's all keep drawing!)
