Bird 4: House Sparrow
The ultra-common, often ratty, occasionally cute House Sparrow. These guys are all over the states, and Brooklyn is no exception. Commonly found fighting pigeons for bread.

More art in a long line of art for DJ Lani Love. This mix was done for the nail art magazine Tipsyzine. They're both pretty excellent at what they do, so head over and check out the pretty wicked nail art and Lani's other mixes. Yeah, and don't forget to actually look at the album art!
Twiggy & Harry - log pals.
Bird 11: Yellow-rumped Warbler
This is a fun bird that you see pretty often. The "yellow-rumped warbler" category is often used to generally classify a group of four different warbler varieties, if you needed to know that. This is one of the cute ones. I have the Birds of Brooklyn poster nearly all laid out with type and everything. Should be rolling it out real soon.
Food Patterns
A series of patterns based on a key ingredient of a baked good. All hand drawn and fun to make. Color palette taken from dessert in question but shifted to create uniformity.
Puppy Bowl VIII
It’s coming… Seems like this year the Super Bowl football game is on the same day as Puppy Bowl, but don’t worry, I don’t think it’s on the same channel.
Started a new collab project with my animator pal Mike Wechsler. Animation with these two folks coming real soon. Not to spoil, but they will be your instructors in fitness.
It’s The Year Twenty Twelve, Time to Find Your Inner Dragon.
Hello all, a happy new year to you. Here at AE HQ, I’m pretty exited for this new year. So much to come: apps, posters, games, and countless blog posts about all the wonderful and awful things that make up our 365 days a year. Thanks for following along.
Friend Mold
Friend Mold is a comic I wrote and illustrated about relationships, detailing what one must go through to become more than a friend to a member of the opposite sex. Digital release took place over the months of January and February with the last page arriving on February 14th. If you're interested in publishing Friend Mold drop me a line!
M&M Wedding
Meg & Mike, the sweetest couple, asked me to work up a whole graphical package for their summer wedding. It was a real pleasure figuring out which elements represented each of them separately then worked together as a whole package.
The main double-sided wedding invite contained a mixture of flora from the bride's and groom's respective region mixed with some from their wedding location, Ithaca NY.
The back of the invite was maybe the funnest part of the project. This hand-written font I worked up really seemed to fit the style of the couple and the mood of their farmer's market, DIY wedding.
Many of the elements I used in the main invite were then used for name and table cards. Here's a good portion of them all laid out above.
Meg & Mike chose passages (sometimes lyrics) to accompany my illustrations on the table cards.
The illustrations made their way onto name cards the guests could match up with their assigned table. *Photo courtesy Anna Simonak.
The groom and I even brewed up a special champagne-style beer for the wedding and I hand-cut a stencil and painted the bottles with its fitting batch name.
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!
