This was a fun series I illustrated for the children’s magazine Faces on “The Wizard’s Book”, an Argentinian folk tale about gauchos and life on the pampas. Thanks to my wonderful AD John Sandford.
so thoughtful
The deadline for Bits in Multiples of 8: an 8bit-64-bit Video Game Fan Art Zine is TOMORROW!!! If you’re stressed out about making the deadline, I’ve provided you with some soothing music to listen to while scrambling to get your work done. >:D
Here’s a new piece for the December issue of aiCIO about partnership and the sharing of technology and knowledge. Thanks to AD SooJin Buzelli for letting me wax cyberpunk on this one. Check out the article online here.
While you’re doing that, I’ll just be over here re-reading Neuromancer…
This is one of my rejected sketches for how to go about drawing Edward. It didn't make the cut, but I just love looking at it! It's hilarious to me.
The trashcan droid from Star Wars, whose name is apparently Gonk? (dumb) Jimmy and I had a moment when we discovered that, growing up, we each felt sorry for this lame little droid stuffed in the corner of that sand crawler because he was so ugly and all the other droids were probably mean to him. That never stopped me from making fun of him either though.
Trick or treat! (:
smell my feet!
Illustration for the New Yorker's Bar Tab column about a cozy-sounding trivia-night-loving bar in Brooklyn, Black Rabbit. I'm all in the mood for festive drinks now. Thanks to AD Deanna Donegan.

Tag! You're it! The rules are to state 5 random facts about yourself. Then, go to ten blogs and tell them that they are it!
get out of here with that noise.
New piece for the New York Times Letters section about the rise and perhaps over-diagnoses of ADHD. It's up today online: check it out! Thanks to art director Alexandra Zsigmond.
hello! i'm a new follower of your lovely work. i noticed that you illustrate/paint using gouache but do you also work digitally? i find it hard to tell, even your illustration for meg hunt's art for japan could have passed for a digital piece with all the neat brushes out there. and i thought that your recent post might be digital but i'm not too sure anymore hehe. either way, i very much admire your work. it's truly inspirational.
Hello! I love new followers (just love you guys!), and thanks very much! Yes, you were on the right track, my most recent post is all digital. I work both with gouache and digitally pretty evenly most of the time, though if the frequency were to lean towards one or the other it would be digital actually. It's neat to know that that's not terribly apparent!
