Some Watercolor Doodles. Bad Boy Stare Down.

I have begun the Super Trip, wherein myself and two friends travel from Seattle to Los Angeles via car and bicycle. The first day wasn’t so exciting because it involved getting to JFK, sitting in an aeroplane for 6 hours then settling in at the friend’s apartment in Seattle. There is so much to come on this trip, and I plan to post some drawings.

Hey, it’s Friday.

I was working on some icons for a live music app today and somehow I got to messing around.  What isn’t surprising is that skulls were the subject of my messing around. 

Picturesque Sunset Reveals Park Slope Rooftop Deathmatch Cage

There was a lovely sunset the other night here in NYC. Stuck out the window of my third floor apartment, I got quite a view of the cotton candy sundown. It was very peaceful and a bit sad because it is the end of summer, and days of warmth and people  living outside are numbered. As I reflected on this change, from out to in, blue to gray, green to brow-HOLY CRUD, THAT LOOKS LIKE A DEATHRINK! There it was, on the horizon, a shoddy looking cage, constructed of chainlink fence with some sort of hide stretched across the top. My roommate suggested it may be for pigeons. This is no aviary, it is a place for dandy Park Slope men to reconnect with their primal roots, I am sure of it. I plan on keeping an eye on this and I will keep you all posted!

File Under Fine Art: What is Nudity?

Pardon my absence the past week.  I have been in Florida where it snows never, shines stronger sun, and offers communities single, double, even triple gated for your safe retirement.  But upon my return, New York proved to me once again why it is great: The Armory Show Modern. Some great work from artists all over and in such a monstrous locale it took hours to get through.  I imagined many of the attendants of this contemporary art show having the below conversation.

Haven't drawn a bat man in far too long. Here he's being extremely mischievous. 

Finally put up a Birds of Brooklyn poster for myself. You can see it here with a childhood bat I reshaped and painted some fun patterns on. There is 1 MORE LEFT! of the original run of posters if you're interested in getting yourself one.

Continuing on this Record Store Week "release all my music" bonanza comes Prescription Strength Hugs' Detuskit EP. I'd consider this part of my "Serengeti" phase - lots of drums, recorders, saws and various percussions. Check out the album art and listen to the tracks! You can get the album on my Bandcamp page, thanks!

Finally got around to making some art for my bocce team: Texas Forever. We roll every Sunday which means we lose every Sunday, but hey, we have fun doing it. I think if we get this on a shirt, no one will want to beat us or will just fall in love with us.

My first illustrator swap for Ten Paces & Draw is up! The format involves illustrators submitting a sketch on a topic, swapping them with others, then doing a final illustration for the sketch you receive. This topic was pet peeves. Check it out in context here! You can also see my sketch on the last frame of the project carousel.
