It's Ping Zhu's birthday today! ♥ 

Back, spectre!

Spending some time with a style I rarely get to spend time with. Working this way is so much fun.

I really love bats. I love bats so much.

Big news indeed! Check out Jimmy Giegerich's excellent work, now in cartoon form! More episodes are on their way too!

Big news! My comic, Executioner and Friend, has been turned into a cartoon by the fine folks at Mondo Media! You should check it out, and if you dig it, like, share, and comment so that I can keep making more!

Also, like Executioner and Friend on Facebook if you feel like it!

AND if you want to read the original comic you can buy it on my store or on gumroad!

A little Peruvian spice gourd I have hanging in my kitchen.  A woven net goes through the holes and inside it you put spices and aromatic things to keep the room smelling nice!

Gant's food illustration is completely delectable. And his painting skills have always been a huge inspiration for me. Just gorgeous!

Today’s Lunch! Inspired by Kali Ciesemier’s blog Kali Eats as well as some delicious illustrations by Rebecca Bradley, and Kelly Lasserre.

Recipe: 

1 Avocado 1 small can of tuna 1tbsp of EV Olive Oil 1tbsp of Balsamic vinaigrette or of lime juice 1 large tomato, halved, or 1 small tomato

feeds one mildly hungry guy for lunch.

Halve and pit your avocado. Salt and pepper to taste and leave it to the side. Slice your tomato evenly, salt and pepper to taste and leave it to the side.

In a bowl, mix tuna, vinegar, and olive oil together, until all the tuna is coated. add a little salt and pepper (i love pepper). Use a spoon to heap the tuna into the pit cavity in your avocado halves. Dribble what’s left of the dressing in the bowl over the avocado and tuna. Serve the tomatoes next to it and enjoy!

Try adding walnuts, celery bits, golden raisins, or other tasty things to the tuna, or make a traditional tuna salad by using 2 tbsps of mayonaise rather than the O/V mixture. You can also substitute chicken for tuna.

Also, you if you want a tasty hors-d’ouevre for a party, mix the avocado meat in with the rest of the tuna dressing mixture, and serve on sliced tomatoes on top of crackers. They’re colorful, and tasty.

Had a blast at SPX this weekend! Drew some folks I met on the flight home.

Here's my piece for the gonna-be-fantastic Pokemon Battle Royal show at the Light Gray Art Lab in Minneapolis. Do I even need to mention how full of amazing work by so many amazing illustrators it will be? A unique, one-and-only print of this will be available for sale at the show, and if you can go to the opening, I envy you! Big thanks to Alyssa Nassner for inviting me to take part.

While you're getting psyched about the Pokemon show, take a minute to support Light Gray Art Lab in their Kickstarter campaign. They're a group of hugely talented people that want to keep producing awesome shows like this one and they could use your help. Thanks all!
