I liked that NYT illustration so much when I first saw it earlier this week; I'm glad it showed up again in my Tumblr feed. Your art is really fantastic, and it encourages me to keep drawing! Best, Sam
Thank you so much!! Your kind words will encourage me to keep drawing too! (Let's all keep drawing!)
spendin all day in the print shop. “Cauldrons & Casseroles” and covers!
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!
A few days ago, the Damn Fine Coffee! Kickstarter ended with wild success! I just want to send out a quick thanks to everyone who pledged their support, spread the word, and sent me and the contributing artists tons of encouragement. Thanks!
Now to the grindstone! (I mean the printing house! (I mean the Bookhouse! What?))
My man Jimmy is putting together a zine called Bits & Multiples of 8 for video game fan art from the original Nintendo system to Nintendo 64 (Sega + Playstation included), and he's just put out a call for submissions on his blog! The cover features characters from tons of games (see if you can name them all) and will make a lovely 4-color screen print on a lovely zine full of lovely work. Check it out! It'll be rad.
Dusknoir! For Jordan Rosenberg's Ghost PokeZine. Check out details (because funding has ended and was successful! alright!) on its Kickstarter here. This was fun. Look at that little Eevee! So doofy and unsuspecting...
A 2012 year-end review! Here are some of my favorite pieces I created in 2012. All of these were either tons of fun to make, helped me grow in some way, or gave me a chance to play with something new. Looking back, I think what I've learned from this past year, and what I need to do better this new year is simple: Make more. More more more. More.
2013! Gonna make so much more!!
A not uncommon state for my hands
After just 24 hours Damn Fine Coffee! is over 250% funded! I'm blown away! Thank you all so much for your support. You've guaranteed that the zine will not only happen, it'll be the best that it can be and will make it to many more hands than I expected. I'm so glad that everyone's excited about this project, has been contributing and sharing it with their friends, and I'm psyched to get your zines and prints and drawings into your hands.
It hardly needs to be said, but I just have to thank all my talented contributors again, as none of this would have been possible without them. There is just so much gorgeous work in the zine. Some you might have already enriched your eyes upon and plenty that will be an excellent surprise. I hope you get the chance to check it all out either by pre-ordering through Kickstarter or by picking up a copy of Damn Fine Coffee! at SPX this year!
