After an airline mash up of swapping, switching, loosing flyer miles and not to mention lots of plain old cash, a trip originally planned for London became a business trip to the NYC. At the advisement and help of my former instructors (Kids, don’t burn those bridges!), I was able to put together a make…
Almost a year ago I was asked by the folks at Backpacker Magazine to do the cover of their winter catalog “SNEWS”. I obviously jumped at the opportunity because I like to draw and getting the cover of anything feeds my ego. I like it when everyone knows I’m awesome. It’s a hole that can’t…
I was asked to submit an image for a collection of art work for a friend’s art magazine. The theme was very open ended, the idea being women and science fiction. A blank piece of paper might as well be a mountain. I had no idea what to make. Now, if you and I sit…
The Descendents saved my life. When I was a fat kid and super nerd in high school, like many fat kid super nerds, I used to get really depressed. I had my little chubby heart broken a few times and definitely wanted to throw in the towel on occasion. Fortunately, I found the Descendents, or…
Early this year I was asked by Giant Robot to participate in a group show titled “Year of the Rabbit”. As I’m sure your lightening quick wit has already accessed, the show was themed after the this year’s Chinese zodiac, the rabbit. After an array of thumbs and sketches I had drawn, I eventually came…
Online dating serves many purposes. I can’t say much for it’s ability to find me a lady, but I did learn a lot about myself and how to interact with total strangers. (As I’m typing this, I can’t help but feel like I’m in an episode of Doogie Howser M.D.) In the course of about…
This post should have went up 6 months ago! Okay, because I have tons of family, I never have any money, and I’m really really talented, I like to make presents for everyone at Christmas. Over the course of a month or two I would stop by the local cigar shop collecting cigar boxes for…
Some friends of mine are in a really great all girl band called Cunt Sparrer. They are a cover band of the England based group similarly named Cock Sparrer. Needless to say, these girls rock! A large portion of their set are great versions of the original Cock Sparrer songs and in addition, they also…
A couple of months ago I was asked by Harper’s Magazine to do the March cover. What?! I know, right?! I mean I’m just getting out of the gates here with my career and a serious hardcore magazine that’s been in publication since 1850 asks me for the cover! Of course I said yes and…
Sweet gig from Nylon Guys: Create a portrait of Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead for his new documentary, “Lemmy: 49% Motherfucker, 51% Son of a Bitch”. Now I figure, not only am I going to make a sweet picture of Lemmy, but I’m also going have a bunch of people see that it is in fact…
