A friend of mine is a city planner for Los Angeles and asked me to do an illustration for a project that he is currently working on. If he gets the green light for his efforts, he’d like me to be an illustrator for the campaign. That would be wonderful!!! Everyone send me some good…
Always a bride’s maid but never a bride. Here is an image I finished a couple of weeks ago for Write Bloody Publishing. Working with the owner Derrick Brown has given me plenty to work on. I think I’ll call this “Beauty and the Beast” or “Roses for Buffalo”? I know! I should call it…
I recently got fed up with my job as a bartender and quit. I worked for that restaurant for over ten years and decided that my personal beliefs and their company vision were too different and that it was time to part ways. I spent a frantic few weeks looking for another bartending job and…
Here is a piece I did in Sunday’s New York Times. As usual I really enjoyed the work so the hours flew by allowing me to forget to feed myself or exercise. I have had a real interest interpreting water lately so expect to see some more of that in the near future.
A woman named Audra Wilford came to my close friend Susie Bauer, owner of www.rockscissorpaper.com, requesting a poster design for a fundraiser. Susie was unfortunately tied up in another project and forwarded the opportunity to me. That is always appreciated! Audra has organized a music event in order to raise money for St. Baldricks, a…

I had the good fortune to do 13 illustrations for the 110th anniversary issue of Popular Mechanics! The mission: to take old illustrations from various years (i.e. 1937) and redraw them with a new spin, but keeping them looking old. What can I say, SUPER FUN. A total of six DIY inventions each with a…
Being an illustrator can lend itself to a lot of solitude. Fortunately, I’m able to fill up my free time cleaning up after my pets thus breaking up the monotony. Actually, I teach and bar tend too so I’m ALWAYS busy. Since moving to Long Beach, I have been a bit of a recluse….
I was contacted a few weeks back by the A.D. who hired me for Harper’s about a year ago. He was doing some A.D. work for High Times Magazine and hit me up for this little ditty. I’m very on the fence with the legalization of marijuana. I don’t personally like the stuff and very…
