Working On A Wedding Invitation For Best Buds. Maybe 30 Or So More Like This - But Not Just Fish, It’s

Legends of Rock #04 - Ringo Starr

It's Fab Four week here on the blog! Kicking it off with the man behind the kit (sometimes the mic).  So much has been written, argued, plum made up about The Beatles, I'll keep it short and say they're a pretty big band, and Ringo did well as the backbone.

(these will be available for purchase once the whole set is released on my shop)

Here is a preview of some of the print goods I'll be selling this weekend at The Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair 2013! I'm partnering up with Patrick Hosmer to bring you posters, patches, baseball scorecards, comics, greeting cards and more! Come on by and chat or get some sweet stuff this weekend June 22nd & 23rd! We've got booth #224 at the setup at East River State Park in Williamsburg. We're open 11am - 7pm both days this weekend and it's going to be great!

Working on a character for a little iPhone game. This guy is tasked with putting ghosts to rest. He is the Ghost Ghoster.

Bird 8: American Crow

Many birds very common to New York fall into the recognized nuisance category. These birds, like the pigeon, the sparrow and the gull, are at times nearly invisible to the average person. Many of us only notice these common birds when they are actively in our way or bothering us in some way. Studying and drawing these birds in great detail has given me a greater respect for them - probably the feeling I had when I was younger and didn’t have any bird-stories yet; about how this one did this yucky thing, or wouldn’t move because it’s superdumb. They really are pretty incredible, even the American Crow, the dogged black sheep of the bird world. This marks the half way point for the Common Birds of Brooklyn poster. Phew, more to come.

Is that Scarface?

It should be known that I occasionally play video games, and with winter coming, several activities see a significant boost in activity, namely: cooking, eating, sitting, and video gaming. I’m way behind on games and decided not to try to play anything too new until I catch up. I had a copy of Red Dead Redemption at my house, so I popped that in, knowing full well that I don’t care for many Rockstar (game studio, not quality of game) games or how awfully they treat their hardworking development teams (after the completion of at least 2 games I know of, Rockstar decided to fire the entire team before bonuses and profit-sharing kicked in. Classy). Anyway, I played some of this mostly janky, un-amusing game to find that the only real plus is the horse physics. Horse riding is excellent which is good, because you will be doing it for hours and hours. Won’t last too much longer on this one, especially since the now 7-year-old Resident Evil 4 has been released on Xbox 360. So much video game jargon in this post, I apologize, but also, expect more.

During my time in the wild west, I think I met Tony Montana. Image captured offscreen from Red Dead Redemption - then cleaned up, colored, texted and all around prettied up.

Bird 6: Northern Cardinal

Hello everyone, hope you had a great holiday weekend and that it was lazy and full of fine foods. Back on the birdwagon here. Today is a female Northern Cardinal, one of the prettiest northeast birds in my opinion. Haven’t shown much of a wing view yet, so here you go! The set is going well, many many birds still to go until I can even think about layout for the poster. Gonna pick up the pace a bit.

Prints!

Get all the fab four. Put George in the dining room, Paul in the den, or all of them in your quiet place. A set of four 8"x10" giclee prints (300gsm, 100% cotton, bright white, matte). What a present... to yourself (or someone else). Get 'em here!

6:28am New comic! Whipped this one up after an idea I had in the shower - where all the good ideas happen. Poor guy just got his sunrise and magma swell times mixed up.

TV - Adventure Time

I’ve been at my Home home in Maryland the past few weeks. I’ve been doing a whole lot of bicycling (they have hills here, real hills) and catching up on some design work. Being that there isn’t a whole lot of night life (not something I take much advantage of in NYC when I’m there but it’s nice to pretend I would), I’ve also been catching up on some television. I was completely unaware of one of the awesomest animated things ever made: Adventure Time. Completely hooked. Extra funny, some awesome character design, and moments of great stretchy animation. To a lesser extent, I’ve been playing some cell phone games too, one being Sword & Sorcery. And now, these two things combined.

Stop A Thing - PSH

Everyone, I make music under the moniker Prescription Strength Hugs. I have never thought to share any of that on the blog until now which is precisely why you’re getting this and an illustration about something in the song!
