Bird 2: Rock Pigeon
Bird 2: Rock Pigeon
The indefatigable Rock Dove a.k.a Rock Pigeon a.k.a “Pigeon” a.k.a a lot of awful names. The quintessential New York City bird is up for today’s small part of the large Birds Of Brooklyn poster set I’m working on. I hope you’ll keep tagging along as I uncover more of the avian element of where I and so many nature lovers call home (even though we should be living somewhere a lot more natural if we’re honest with ourselves). Thank goodness for Prospect Park.

A ghost story of a playlist for the spookiest month. And a skull floating in an ocean listening to music on bone headphones?
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.
Legends Of Rock #03 - Ray Davies
Next up, the leader of my favorite rock band*: The Kinks, Mr. Ray Davies. The first time I heard a Kinks record (middle school, Sleepwalker), it really did a number on me. The Kinks have been the most enduring and consistent musical obsession I've had since that first taste. Ray Davies is the man behind the sometimes absurd, sometimes lovely rock-pop group that spanned three decades. I'm afraid The Kinks are one of those bands that most everyone has heard of, but not so many have heard anything other than You Really Got Me or Lola. Hoping this will help and ya'll like the illustration! I'm starting to feel pretty honored to just draw these Legends, as I'm maybe getting a bit obsessed by each of them as I stare at their photos and read of their accomplishments all the while listening to their radical music.

Legends of Rock #05 - George Harrison
Fab Four week continues with the lead guitarist for the boys from Liverpool. George seemed like a pretty cool guy, and seemed to stay cool for his entire career, which had to be hard. Big props to George.
Recently I was asked to complete a few videos for a company that makes official information about buildings and construction projects available to the public. Above is the main overview video addressing the problem of blight and how the software addresses it. It was a fun project and I’m pleased with the results. It allowed me to utilize a style that was fun and capable to telling a procedural story.
I took this project through all stages, completing storyboards, illustration, animation, recording voice-over, sound and music.
Hello all! I make music under the moniker Prescription Strength Hugs and have been doing so for a whole lot of years. I've decided to put out a compilation collecting tracks from the first four EPs I made during 2005-2007. There is some good stuff in here, some rougher stuff but it's all the stuff that's made me who I am as a maker today. All instruments played and songs written by me. Hope you enjoy! Take a look at the newly set up Bandcamp page to download this puppy for free (but don't let that stop you from spending copious amounts of digi-cash on it). Thanks.

Aurora Vs Coil
Reading the second installment of Aurora West's story in the Battling Boy universe. Love the art and monster-world. My only gripe (more a disappointment) is the printing quality. Kinda cruddy newsprint makes the greyscale coloring pretty muddy. Wanted to draw Aurora taking on her nemesis baddy Coil (in that sweet Paul Pope color).
