Restaurant Tips: Zero to Douche in Sixty Seconds
If you’ve worked in food service, you’ve met this guy. If you haven’t, please don’t be this guy! No one likes this guy.
Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show
Reading Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles for the first time was an unsettling experience. This was back in middle school, and I must have been eleven? Twelve? Some time around that age. I loved sci-fi, but to that point I had mostly read Isaac Asimov’s stuff, which is generally lighter and more optimistic, I think. He...
A Love Supreme
When I fell in love with jazz, I fell in love with John Coltrane. I remember the moment vividly – I was in middle school, probably in the eighth grade, and I was seeing my friends in the school jazz band play a concert. I was a bit drowsy, as I get during some concerts,...
Naive Melody
Nothing like taking a lamp for a dance! Seeing the Talking Heads’ movie Stop Making Sense for the first time in college was huge for me – I was a late bloomer in regards to music and the art of performance in general, and it really changed what I thought of as music and performance art....
Brave, a Song
Chris Rubeo is a fine gentleman and a great musician. Go check out his first album, Ships of Sticks and Twine! This was based off of his song, “Brave.” It’s a really sweet, sad song, and I feel pretty happy that he asked me to contribute something for it.
Beer is Culture!
I made this piece a month or so ago as an entry for Sixpoint Brewery’s annual “Beer is Culture” art and design competition, and I came away with third place! Woohoo! My first art win, oh it feels so nice. They even did a nice little interview with me on their blog, which you...
Thanks for the Wild Rumpus
I woke up today to the news that Maurice Sendak has passed on. He was a truly brilliant artist, and I while I loved his books growing up, they’re no less powerful an influence on me today. Thank you, sir, for your amazing work.
Town on Fire
Another western-inspired warmup. I particularly like how the flames turned out. He’s a bad dude! Also! I have new things for you to spend your money on in my store!
Devil’s Thumb
An hourly warmup sketch from yesterday. For some reason, around this time I usually start thinking about the desert, although this might also have to do with Jean Giraud’s passing the other day. An amazing cartoonist, who worked under the pen names of “Gir” and “Moebius,” he was a major talent who left behind...
