A New Little Piece For The New York Times Op Ed About Disparity In Taxes, Which Just Went Up Yesterday

I created my own cover illustration of William Gibson’s Neuromancer (one of my favorites) for Atomic Book’s “Jackets and Sleeves” show. Up for just a little while longer at Atomic!

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.

I made this poster for J Roddy Walston & The Business' 3-show series at the Ottobar starting on the 24th. Really fun direction and nice to have a hand in celebrating Ottobar's 20th anniversary! Tickets on the event page here.

Some months ago I illustrated and hand-lettered materials at Spur Design for the Maryland Humanities Council's One Maryland One Book program. Every year a book is chosen for state-wide reading and discussion, with materials distributed to schools and libraries, and the 2012 selection was The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway. It's a story based on true events about a musician during the seige of Sarajevo who honors the memory of his friends and neighbors by playing his cello everyday in the square where they were killed, a day for each victim.

It was a thrill to work on this at Spur, and lovely to work with the hardworking people at MD Humanities. You can find out more about the One Maryland One Book program here. Art & design direction by David Plunkert and Joyce Hesselberth.

"So what is the news besides the blues?"

It's cold in my house. But I'm enjoying a new scarf. But I ate a dissatisfying brownie. Trade-offs.

Oh man! Excellent!

So here's the status on Damn Fine Coffee!: Right now, I'm sorting and mailing out the books already spoken for from my Kickstarter campaign. Once those are set aside, I'll be putting the books online to sell. I should have something around 150 available (a more accurate quantity pending), and they'll be $10 before shipping. So check back soon! I'll be posting again with an update and link to buy the books in the next few days. Thanks!
