Bar sketches

Dear blog,

Yesterday I was at the Bug Jar for a sick grind show. I always feel awkward at bars, especially when the people I'm meeting aren't there yet, so I just draw until the show starts. Here are 2 of them, I gave the rest away to Spoonfull of Vicodin and this awesome grindcore band from the Czech Republic called Pigsty.

Paris Hilton Sketch

Dear blog,

Here's another sketch from the cover of Nylon. This one is of the doe-eyed Paris Hilton. she's actually a lot of fun to draw. The best part is getting to subtley suggest her air-headedness through her blank and vaguely cross-eyed stare.

I'm sure she's a nice girl though...

more subway sketches

Here's another Alex inspired drawing. I really like the way the sketch came out and I think it's going to turn into a finished piece. Nay, it SHALL turn into a finished piece. Maybe it will even go on some sort of shirt. I got hooked up with a fledgling young clothing company called MischEVEous that is geared toward marketing NYC artists. It's going to be a lot of fun because I get to make clothes that aren't trendy and lame

ie. 90's revival bullshit, Christian Audigear Ed Hardy bullshit.


The folks on top are Tim and Danielle. The bottom was inspired by my new chicken, Suki. What do you mean it comes off as really gay?!? You don't know anything about art, blog. yeah, now that I look at it more, that guys left shoulder is way off. it should be more toward the front of his body. Sometimes though, you have to break the laws of anatomy to draw a nipple. AND THAT'S THE MAGIC OF ILLUSTRATION! Cha cha cha!

Sunday is Funday

Dear blog,

I was a busy beaver today. I spent most of it drawing with my friends Tim and Danielle across the hall from me. Then we watched the Bob Saget roast on Comedy Central. I thought Gilbert Godfrey was the best, he kept screaming that "It is completley untrue that BOB SAGET RAPED AND KILLED A GIRL IN 1990!!!" No blog, I didn't piss myself laughing, but I did notice my bowels shifting slightly. I even got to collaborate with Danielle on a painting that is now hanging above their bed (no pics of that yet). Here are a couple doodles of the usual; girls, dogs, hearts, introspection. There's even a cat in there to switch it up. Their cat is always in the cutest poses.

more from the sketchbook

Dear blog,

Here's a cute one I drew of Bubbles while on the train. I miss her dearly. The other is of a girl that Tim swears he saw on the subway. Freakish indeed.

also. this day in history. Bigfoot officially discovered. My mind = officially blown.

Red Rider in process

Dear blog,

This is a project for Digital Mixed Media starring Chad Grohman. The assignment is to personify a natural disaster. I chose forest fires and my personification was a Little-Red-Riding-Hood-type character spreading embers and coals. The photo refrence for the figure was priceless and she was a sport to do it. I'll have more up on it around Tuesday, as that's when it's due.

large girl or small house?

I'm not sure what this is going to turn into. What's that you say, blog? A print? Well sure that would be great, but who's gonna buy my prints?

someone, someday?

You sure are encouraging. That's why I keep you around, blog.
