Here's my piece for the gonna-be-fantastic Pokemon Battle Royal show at the Light Gray Art Lab in Minneapolis. Do I even need to mention how full of amazing work by so many amazing illustrators it will be? A unique, one-and-only print of this will be available for sale at the show, and if you can go to the opening, I envy you! Big thanks to Alyssa Nassner for inviting me to take part.

While you're getting psyched about the Pokemon show, take a minute to support Light Gray Art Lab in their Kickstarter campaign. They're a group of hugely talented people that want to keep producing awesome shows like this one and they could use your help. Thanks all!

I had the pleasure of working with Francois Vigneault at Scout Books again, on an illustrated set of their blank mini notebooks. My theme was, fantastically, the cosmos, so I went completely indulgent with this and decked out the constellations Virgo, Capricorn, and Perseus in gleaming gold armor. My kind of project! This was a lot of fun and I'm psyched to have been paired with the talented Lisa Perrin whose beautifully illustrated set will be released in conjunction.

If you're in Baltimore a week from today, we will both be at Trohv in Hampden for a little release party for the notebooks from 6 - 8pm. Stop by, pick up a set and say hello! Event page here. Hope to see you there!

This new spot for The New Yorker's Bar Tab column features an enthusiastic patron of Winnie's, a karaoke bar in Chinatown. You can read the article online here. Thanks to my AD Deanna Donegan.

I painted this skater babe for a demo in Kali Ciesemier's lifestyle illustration class. Fun!

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 ♥

I'm excited for the bats to start coming out :)

Fantastic Tales II from Scout Books' Good Ink: American Shorts series just came out, and it features the short story I illustrated last year, "The Isle of Voices" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Other mini books in the set are "The Giant's Heart" by George MacDonald, illustrated by Lark Pien; and "Mowgli's Brothers" by Rudyard Kipling, illustrated by Rebecca Dart. This was a lot of fun to work on, and I loved the story I got assigned. Thanks to editor François Vigneault for including me in the series!

You can pick up the Fantastic Tales II set for $12 and check out all the other Good Ink: American Shorts sets from Scout Books here. All are illustrated beautifully by many talented artists and come in nicely-packaged mini-book form. They're all great little classics that are definitely worth revisiting.
