Happy Inception Day, Roy Batty

I did this piece for an article in the New York Times about how a survivor of domestic abuse is drawn to listening to true crime podcasts. You can read the article online here.

Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to submit art for the twin peaks zine, or if you're just selecting from certain artists you know. I'd love to make sure that there is some log lady coverage in the publication, but let me know when you have the time. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm late in replying to this. Sorry about that!

I've been asked this question many times now, so consider this my general answer to everyone. Thanks so much for asking, but unfortunately, I invited the artists in the Twin Peaks zine to take part privately, so submissions were never open. This is my first anthology-style zine, so I debated for a while whether I wanted to open up submissions for it, or curate artists by invitation. In the end I felt more comfortable asking artists because I simply wasn't sure if many people would respond to an open invitation. But folks seem really psyched about it, which is just fantastic, and even though the zine is now full-up with artists, it appears an open call would have worked out fine! I'm only sorry I can't make a book out of everyone's work. Next time, if I make another one, I plan to open it up for submissions.

And don't worry! The Log Lady will get plenty of love!

The Warriors. is. my. favorite. movie. of. all. time.

This is my tshirt design for another Pizza Party Printing movie night at the Ottobar here in Baltimore. On Sunday, April 28th, they'll be presenting the best movie of all time, The Warriors, along with another best movie of all time, The Road Warrior so you'd best soldier over to this one. Admission (and pizza) is free as always, and BASEBALL TEES of my design as well as regular tees of Jimmy Giegerich's utterly rad Road Warrior shirt will be on sale. SO...

Come out to playy-ayyy!

The Magician

Meanings: influence, awareness, ability, creative power, confidence, determination, a beginning, ego, desire to dominate, inspiration, focus, taking action, charm.

This is my piece for Light Grey Art Lab's upcoming show, Tarot, Mystics, and the Occult. I pulled The Magician, the card which starts The Fool's journey, which was awesome and intimidating! There are a ton of great artists taking part in the show, and everyone's piece will be compiled into an actual Tarot deck, which you can pre-order here! 

Here's a question: can you guess which fantastically low-budget 1960s horror (?) film The Magician's cloak is an homage to?

I painted a couple of rebels for gouache demos in Alex Fine and Greg Houston's illustration classes. These guys are kind of evil...kinda got a devilish lean to em...the rebels too! (badum chh) (sorry)

I'm always amazed that anything I have to share in demos with classes are things students will appreciate and be able to use, but it's always great. So long as I'm not going off on too many random rants about dumb things then I just hope I'm imparting some tips, and it's a pretty good time.

So.

Been awhile! I am still alive. Long story short, there have been a great deal of changes in my life. Some excellent, others requiring adaptation. I am a full-time freelancer now and I’m loving it. Illustration, design, and lettering are still my life blood. Expect more soon!

love,
