Another gig poster for the now Chicago-based DJ Lani Love. Changed up the style a bit this time to better portray her intended pop, disco and 80s setlist. I liked the look of the background on this so I made some wallpapers. You can get two versions of the wallpaper for your iPhone 4 or big old Droid right here.
Another "Hey, Koo!" to add to the soon-to-be collection of haiku comics written by Kalia Armbruster and arted by me. Still settling into this line-art style with flat color. It's a great exercise and I'm having fun working within the restraints. More to come, ya'll.
Been working on early stages of an ABC book. All pretty goofy alliteration with some fun animals. Twenty six is a lot of letters...
Phone Pixels
Remember those many months in which all I did was pixel art? I hardly remembered, but this week I re-engaged in a project that is exclusively pixel art. It’s an incredibly different kind of illustration. If you fight its natural blockish restrictions, it can feel like having ten thousand spoons when all you need, really, is a knife. But in this case, I figured out spoons were just right.
I've undertaken a project to catalogue all the bad guys in each X Files episode. I've started on season 3 since that's where I was when getting the idea. I've about 200 or so left to do... Poster series to come. You can check out detailed info for each here.
Season 3 Episode 5 in which a man in the electric chair promises to exact revenge on the heads of 5 men who have wronged him in his final years on death row. Seemingly reincarnated as a string of larvae - fly - man, Napoleon “Neech” Manley makes good on his hit list.
This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!
Bird 11: Yellow-rumped Warbler
This is a fun bird that you see pretty often. The "yellow-rumped warbler" category is often used to generally classify a group of four different warbler varieties, if you needed to know that. This is one of the cute ones. I have the Birds of Brooklyn poster nearly all laid out with type and everything. Should be rolling it out real soon.
Happy New Year Late!
This Christmas, I made my girlfriend a calendar and am still in the process of making. Every month it features different characters from comic books we both enjoy. Here we have the wonderful Lumberjanes. I went with the cover artist Noelle Stevenson's style and since it's the Year of The Goat - goats. Eleven more to come in this series. Enjoy some 2015.
Guy Stuff: Things to do to wood
You may’ve noticed that since moving to the city, I’ve missed manual labor and dudely work doubly. When I was home for the holiday weekend, I got a whole lot of guy stuff out of my system, including chopping wood, lighting it on fire and sawing it in half. I also ripped off the paper still connected to a few dozen wire hangers but that doesn’t qualify.
