Nobrow 6, The Double is available for preorder! The big reveal feels pretty good.
My piece entails an unwelcome invasion into a private bucolic garden. I was psyched to be included in this dauntingly great lineup of artistic talent. The book features work by Luke Pearson, Chuck Groenink, John Martz, Tom Gauld, Niv Bavarsky, Nick Iluzada and tons more, and has a good chunk of comics in this issue as well. Thanks very much to Alex Spiro for extending an invitation my way.
Get your hands on it!
here are a couple details if you'd like to take a look:
I’ve been watching Jimmy work on this and LEMME TELL YA. This issue is hilarious and it’s gonna be killer! you can get your own copy by supporting his Kickstarter. Please check it out and reblog!
HOLY SCRUNGE EVERYONE! It’s official, Fight Frogs 2: Never Stop Frog Fighting is officially an official thing and it’s going to be debuting at this year’s Small Press Expo!!! Not only that, my Kickstarter for the book just launched like this very second! WHOAAAA!!!
This new book has more sweat, more veins, more punching, MORE EVERYTHING! The Fight Frogs meet their ultimate challenge in a new gang of 80s frat boy muscle-head sharks called the Shit Sharks and stuff goes CRAZY.
Please take a look at the Kickstarter and support this book getting made! You can get copies of the book, screen prints, patches, original art, and more. In all seriousness, this is my favorite comic I’ve ever made and it’d be awesome to be able to share it with you!

thank you! Ugh, yes, Goblin was fantastic. They were all so psyched to be there too! SUCH a rad show. The Suspira (of course) and Deep Red themes gave me goosebumps. You can pick up a Suspiria shirt at Pizza Party's site here.

Embroidery in progress! It's been taking me forever to finish this bat boy because I'm just making a few stitches in between client projects, but I'm very excited to do more (when time allows!)...I've got...plans.....👿

We’re snowed-in here in Baltimore, and it’s making me miss warmer weather, green things, flora...
So here is a beer label I designed and illustrated for Union Craft Brewing’s special spring-time saison that they crafted exclusively for Atomic Books in Hampden. A wonderful pairing of comics “for mutated minds” and a light, fruity ale.
I've always wanted to illustrate beer and wine labels and this was a really fun way to dip my toe in. I hope I get the chance to do more!
Sometimes the little odds and ends from demos I give in my Digital Illustration class result in halfway-decent miniature drawings. Other times they are doofus beavers I guess.
(this was a request from my darling students so I refuse to be wholly blamed!)

My friends Rebecca Bradley and Janna Morton run the project Blooms of Nigeria, a blog whose goal is to present nearly 200 illustrated flowers, each for a different girl who was taken in the April kidnapping in Nigeria, and to keep the discussion and awareness of their plight alive. It's a terrible crisis, and recently, there have been new kidnappings of almost 100 girls and boys as well. There isn't much many of us reading about it from our computers can do to help directly with this situation, but at the very least, we can all keep talking about the problem, express our sadness and eagerness for a resolution. There is also an Amnesty International petition you can sign to help appeal to the Nigerian government for action.
Let's not forget about these girls. Let's all keep loudly hoping for their rescue.
