Stack Up For The Weekend.

Been working on early stages of an ABC book. All pretty goofy alliteration with some fun animals. Twenty six is a lot of letters...

More art in a long line of art for DJ Lani Love. This mix was done for the nail art magazine Tipsyzine. They're both pretty excellent at what they do, so head over and check out the pretty wicked nail art and Lani's other mixes. Yeah, and don't forget to actually look at the album art! 

This is the kick-off of a new series I'm working on called "Hey, Koo!", penned by Kalia Armbruster and drawn by me. We'll be putting out a bunch of these haiku comics in pretty much random order and hope to compile them as a collection later on. But for now, enjoy the man with the lazer hands. 

Season 3 Episode 7 in which a quadruple amputee uses astral projection... to kill.

This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!

I needed to make a Down For Maintenance page, which isn’t a fun thing, so I made a fun one. I like everyone’s pants and hair situation here.

Being from Maryland, this baseball season was the best anyone could have hoped for. Despite the Nationals having the best record in the league, my allegiances remain with the Baltimore Orioles. Tonight, they battle for the wild-card spot, so in support, I drew the new/retro logo that I'm quite fond of (glad to be over the lifeless bird silhouette). Go O's. 

“Let’s ghost some ghosts.”

Working on a character for a little iPhone game. This guy is tasked with putting ghosts to rest. He is the Ghost Ghoster.

Bird 2: Rock Pigeon

The indefatigable Rock Dove a.k.a Rock Pigeon a.k.a “Pigeon” a.k.a a lot of awful names. The quintessential New York City bird is up for today’s small part of the large Birds Of Brooklyn poster set I’m working on. I hope you’ll keep tagging along as I uncover more of the avian element of where I and so many nature lovers call home (even though we should be living somewhere a lot more natural if we’re honest with ourselves). Thank goodness for Prospect Park.

I launched my first comic of the new year, Friend Mold! It’s been in the works awhile, this comic, and I’m extremely excited to get it out in the world. It was a lot of work, but it has me anxious to get working on another (which I have begun but is still too early to be showing anything. SneakHear: it has a goat). During the process, the toughest design decision was the cover, and it kept changing. I ended up with something quite different from my initial design, which isn’t all that uncommon in the design process, but most of the book’s illustrations were set from the get go. The Friend Mold idea all came from a thought I’d had coming out of sleep one winter morning. I won’t bore you with dream-details, but the thought spawned a concept, a rough script and definite look within a few hours. Here is a look at two alternate cover designs.

The one on the right is closest to my original concept, which had a rubber like pour-mold with swappable head, chest, and crotch pieces. It just never read as well as it should have and the shadowed relief look didn’t fit the interior illustrations. And that always bothers me (pardon to any comic artists out there), where the cover illustration style has little to do with the interior art. The design on the left was just a bit too morbid when I polled some folks about it. While I did like the face down look, it did slowly give me the creeps when working on it. Made me feel very claustrophobic - which also isn’t the point of the book’s content.

So, check it out, and see the book as it is released, a page a day with the final interior on Feb 14th!
