Facial Hair Types
It is always interesting to see what will resonate with people. Some work I do, I’m sure everyone will love, and it falls flat. Other things, done on a whim, blow up. The ‘Facial Hair Types’ I did for Mammal 002 has been selected for 3×3 Illustration Annual No. 5  and American Illustration [...]

In my quest to keep making art even if I don’t have a client, I did a painting of this jackass and his business in the news lately.  Here’s to hoping he’s out of the news soon.

I was recently invited by award-winning comic artist Dean Haspiel (THE ALCOHOLIC) to contribute art for a 6-page story as part of Smith Magazine’s NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR series of web comics. It’s a creepy little story by Anthony Lappe about obsession. It went live today, and I’m fairly pleased with the results. Comics are tricky [...]

In the most recent issue of Vice (which I believe is a no-photo issue) I have this comic page. It is a very short story of a fantasy team-up I have: Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Terminator Conan teaming up with Charles Bronson. Sort of like that movie Red Heat where Arnold was a Commie Russian [...]

The illustration for the Science page concerned the recently increased influx of women entering the field of urology and what that might mean for their shy, decidedly male patients. The piece for the Book Review regards [...]

The poster design I submitted for AIGA’s Get Out the Vote campaign for this fall was one of 23 others selected from a group of over 200 submissions to be professionally printed and distributed around the country to encourage non-partisan voter awareness. My brain explodes as a result of the shock of this honor over [...]

My initial thought for my contribution to the DollyPop exhibit in LA was swiftly derailed when, on the subway home one evening, my future wife, Jill suggested that Dolly’s hair should be the lifeblood of all that can ease the suffering of the world’s children. Sold, sold and sold. Close up details of the piece [...]
