The Flower-child Witch And Her Bob-tailed Familiar.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with drawtoberween, drawlloween, etc. Here’s days 1-5. More to come!

For the past couple of months, I’ve been madly preparing for May Day in Baltimore with an event in celebration of Robin Hardy’s The Wickerman. My friend Melissa LaMartina and I organized the event complete with bands playing songs from the soundtrack, burlesque performances, an actual maypole with an actual maypole dance (thank you Chuck and Chelsea!), a humongous wickerman photobooth (seen above, featuring me in my Summerisle lady garb and our very own Lord Summerisle himself), and an art show featuring gorgeous work from artists Monica Amneus, Alan Brown, Michael Bukowski, Zé Burnay, Shirley Chan, Jeanne D'Angelo, Alex Fine, Mandi Johnson, Justine Jones, Cailin Marie, Janna Morton, Becca Stadtlander, Maureen Sullivan, and Jabari Weathers. Jimmy Giegerich also designed a shirt from Pizza Party Printing specially for the event (and you can get that shirt here). I designed and illustrated the poster, a 2-color limited-edition screen print, which you can get here for $15.

Everything about Sunday was a blast and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out or more thrilled by all the hard work and response by everybody involved.

And now, come. It’s time to keep your appointment with the wickerman.

New one for the New York Times: Letters about the misleading nature of diet pills. Check out the article online here. Thanks to my art director Nathan Huang!

Somehow at some point my blog passed 1,000 followers (1100!). Wow! What are all you people doing here?? 

Me and my fox friend want to welcome you ♥

Thank you, Catherine Coulson, for giving us such a beloved character. You will be missed.

New piece for the NY Times about how educated and professionally-driven women have risen in men's tastes. Check out the article in the Sunday Review. Thanks to AD Aviva Michaelov!

The first thing I will tell you is: there's a zine I'm putting out called Damn Fine Coffee! A Twin Peaks Fan Zine.

The second thing is: the owls are not what they seem.

The third thing is: Damn Fine Coffee! debuts this year at SPX.

That's right! You may have been seeing some awesome work floating around for the zine I'm putting together: Damn Fine Coffee! A Twin Peaks Fan Zine. I will be at SPX this year where you can get your hands on it and feast your eyes on Twin Peaks homages by over 30 incredibly talented artists.

Damn Fine Coffee! will be going into production soon, and I'll be posting updates on availability, price, and the possibility of pre-orders (because folks have been asking, which is very exciting) here on my blog. You can also check out my twitter for quick updates too.

Here's the cover and a quick sampling of some of the rad work you'll find in the zine by Ping Zhu, Gant Powell, and Ryan Fortney.

The support and the excitement from everybody has been really encouraging so thanks and stay tuned!

Something foul has stepped into the garden...!

The full illustration will have to wait until November.  In the meantime, working on a new alphabet chart that I'm excited to show very soon!

New illo for BUST appearing in the current Aug/Sept issue on stands now. This one's about the trend of so-far pretty vanilla Disney-grown actresses starring in "bad girl" movies like Spring Breakers and The Bling Ring. Thanks to AD Lan Turong.

Reblogging my own post because GOBLIN. THE GOBLIN. IS IN BALTIMORE. TOnight. And I'm gonna see them and wear my own dumb shirt and it's gonna be the strangest, most rad time, and everyone? go ahead. be jealous.

"Suzy, do you know anything about…witches?"

Suspiria, a masterpiece by Dario Argento. This trippy, amazingly surreal horror film is the subject of my newest tshirt design for Pizza Party Printing's upcoming movie night at the Ottobar. They'll be showing not only Suspiria, but the 1989 horror, The Church (paired with a fucking metal shirt by Jimmy Giegerich), so if you’re in Baltimore at the end of the month, be there! Immerse yourself in blood and beer (and the music of the one, the only Goblin). It’s gonna be spooky.

The Suspiria shirt is up for sale now at Pizza Party! Pick one up while you can!
