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.
Wrestlemania 31 Icons
Made some icons for this year’s Wrestlemania. They were printed out as stickers and used on bet-sheet score cards. Pretty fun little project.
Batman Moods: Heartbreak
About a year ago, I did a one-off drawing of Batman. I really liked it and only recently realized I could do more if I wanted! So, this will mark the reboot/kickstart of the Batman Moods series. First up, a broken hearted Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne seems like a tough playboy with stuff figured out, but you know that guy must have gotten his gut busted by a batlady at some point.
Bird 3: Double-crested Cormorant
Chugging along on birds. Here is a bit of beak detail for the big water bird. I’ve made all these birds pretty happy looking - this guy wins for that so far.
This MLB postseason has been a stressful time for Orioles fans (and all others for that matter). I've taken to drawing O's logos while I listen to the game to reduce my freakouts. I think they should randomize the birds on player's hats. One bird a piece! Dibs on angry baby-bird. If you're interested in the logo history, check out this awesome post.
Continuing this week of records with another Prescription Strength Hugs release! These are songs that didn't make an EP for one reason or another, usually tone problems or whackiness. You can check out the mounting collection of my tunes at the Bandcamp page!

Non-Threatening Rorshach
The character Rorschach from Watchmen is a pretty scary guy; but that is only because his ever-changing mask cooperates and swirls into menacing ”what does it mean?” formations. I prefer a mask that does not share this glum attitude towards symmetrical mood projection.

Space Game - concept art for a tower defense game based in space.
Ghost Ghoster - character designs for a game about putting ghosts to rest.
Graphic Booklet: Male Emotions
Further character study for the graphic booklet’s male character. I needed to simplify my typical facial style to pull out the highs and lows I was looking for. Since the character has very little to say in the story, I needed a very expressive, cartoony body capable of movement aplenty.
Airline Colors
I’ve been flying more than usual lately. Sitting in airports, you get a good look at airline branding. For as much money as they must put into the marketing and collateral of their brand, so little of it stands apart from its competitors. I suppose this makes sense when all they’re really trying to do is appeal to the largest audience possible, and this will always involve snoozers design. I had to go a bit out of the way to try to find airlines that didn’t use only red, white and blue (thanks Lufthansa). Feels good to return to some more "studies."
