I Was Commissioned To Create An Art Piece For A Newborn's Room/nursery. It Came Out Really Well AND I

I DR NY

My wonderful friend has been going to medical school for long enough to be forced to decide where to do her residency.  The possibles were Boston, NYC, or Philadelphia.  Thankfully for all, especially me who has come to rely on her medical advice, she will remain in NY!  As a not-going-away present, I painted her a little something because she will, in fact, be stethoscoping New York. Watercolor (which is awesomely cheap) on water color paper (which is awesomely pricey.)

Bird 9: Canada Goose

I am making a concerted effort fo finish up the Birds of Brooklyn poster by the end of next week. It will have 15 of the most commonly seen birds around Brooklyn, mostly my home-base Prospect Park. This one here is the venerable Canada Goose. I've always been into these birds as we had dozens that would summer in the pasture next to our house. 

Some rough dino illustrations for a wood block puzzle project my girlfriend put together for a little one in our life.

“Fancy It Up” Numbers

Feel free to use these techniques on handwritten job applications or other important handwritten documents and forms.

New art for a new mix, filled with 70s and 80s pop from The Other Side. Many of these artists have become fast favorites of mine (especially Akiko Yano, Miharu Koshi and Dip in the Pool). No 80s Japanese pop mix would be complete without YMO, as described in the album art. Anyway, enjoy! Visit my site! Visit my new, pretty blog!

X-Villainy

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.

Another gig poster for the now Chicago-based DJ Lani Love. I like them all, but this one might be my favorite. This one is up before the event, do you live in Chicago? cuz this bar is in a bank vault...

Graphic Booklet: Rough Pages

The comic I’ve been working on is now completely written and roughly drawn/laid out. Here are two rough pages. The paper I used for the rough version is so thin I can erase from the other side of the page. This stems for a long-standing issue with commitment and drawings being worth good paper or not. Suffice to say, I’ll get over it for the final and get some non tissue paper. Expecting the whole thang to be complete by the end of the month!

Continuing this week of records with another Prescription Strength Hugs release! These are songs that didn't make an EP for one reason or another, usually tone problems or whackiness. You can check out the mounting collection of my tunes at the Bandcamp page!

Picturesque Sunset Reveals Park Slope Rooftop Deathmatch Cage

There was a lovely sunset the other night here in NYC. Stuck out the window of my third floor apartment, I got quite a view of the cotton candy sundown. It was very peaceful and a bit sad because it is the end of summer, and days of warmth and people  living outside are numbered. As I reflected on this change, from out to in, blue to gray, green to brow-HOLY CRUD, THAT LOOKS LIKE A DEATHRINK! There it was, on the horizon, a shoddy looking cage, constructed of chainlink fence with some sort of hide stretched across the top. My roommate suggested it may be for pigeons. This is no aviary, it is a place for dandy Park Slope men to reconnect with their primal roots, I am sure of it. I plan on keeping an eye on this and I will keep you all posted!
