Potato Doves

There's a few prints up this week.

Had Thanksgiving over at Dokebi Bar. My friend Brian cut open this potato to reveal what appears to be two tater doves in air pocket form. I find this way cooler than any random Virgin Mary's out there and was happy to be a witness... Not to make God angry by worshiping (or auctioning) any false idols.
We ate them.

Dodging lions and waisting time...

"thirty" 24"x24" oil on wood

I'm headed over to Rome for a show this Friday at Dorothy Circus Gallery who I'll be showing along side with my good pal Tara Mcpherson and the super rad Travis Louie


click on the flyer for more info and some additional images.

In a world of Hipster Zombies and Sexy Vampire Maids I did a poster for my friends at Dokebi.

This was a nice change of pace to do some straight up illustration work using an ink drawing scanned and computer colored.

Ps. If you live in Rome, please come to the opening and say hi, i don't know anybody.

-Dear Science

Soybeans 5th birthday


The Tv On The Radio guys are touring around and I did some simple 2 color shirts for them.

The title of their new Album is Dear Science so I drew up this fish.
I have no idea what color schemes they used, these's were what I gave them.
Here's another one.


I've officially realized I am not a blogger. For no reason spending 15 minutes resizing some photos and typing some text takes me ages.

My September was spent like this...

Here is the icky piece that I have in it.

"Brood" 16"x16" oil on wood.

I'm going to be in Portland, Oregon for a while visiting my pals Farel Dalrymple and Zachary Baldus and also to take time to vegetate, do some sketchbooking, observe foliage, and do some apartment hunting. I'll be back in NYC for the opening.

Also my friend's opened a vintage clothing store in Brooklyn and I did a sign up for them.

-Scary Stuff

DC Comics recently brought back the title House of Mystery which started back in the 1950's. Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges are the writers for it. I did a cover for issue 5 and here is the sketch.



Oil on wood 20"x30". The painting came out pretty dark and needed to make it a bit more readable.
I had to convince myself that using the computer to make additions/corrections were perfectly ok. What is published is the final piece, not the actual painting...
So here it is with some color/contrast voodoo.

Its my first cover in the comic cover world and its really intimidating following up issues done by Sam Weber and with the writers who do Fables, featuring James Jean's covers.

Big-Ass shoes to fill.


A cat-bat thing.

Other scary news.
I noticed I have a crease in my earlobe. Went to the doctor but he didn't really care too much about it as my other vitals seemed ok.
If you click HERE or HERE or do any other research on earlobe creases. You'll see why I'm suddenly working on being a health freak.
