Unicorn Whorez

I was asked a few weeks ago to do a drawing for Michelle Chrzanowski and Ben Larson's new zine Unicorn Whorez. They have printed some really great stuff including this zine about Madonna and this zine about Dragon Slutz. E-mail them at wearefriendsart@gmail.com if you want a copy!

More Draw Jamz W/ Haejon Lee

Carl Titolo gave us these Trading Card sized Illustration Board pieces for a collaboration project with some kids in Florida. We used the extras to make these during class!

Dolfish Cassette Art

Just wrapped up the cassette art for Max Sollisch aka "Dolfish". You can listen to some of the tracks off this cassette/cd here. His songs make me really nostalgic for a time when all my friend Mike and I did was listen to Billy Bragg cassettes, drink banana slushies, and skateboard.

The cassette is being released by Indicater and printed by some folks at the Monster House.

Snake Preview

Currently I am working on an extensive series of ink paintings. I have been developing them over the last 3 months and am super excited to wrap them up- hopefully by January. For now here is a really small fragment of a large painting (about 4 ft x 2 ft) of a water snake- the snake itself is about 36" long (within the painting).

The series of paintings deals with transforming my memories and past experiences into a series of sequential events that take place in a dingy and fantastical world.

I am currently listening to my friend Andrew's newish noisegaze project called "The Sleepy Sound"- you might like to also! Listen to it and other great recordings here.

Portraits for Print Magazine

Currently working on these drawings for Print Magazine and listening to Ghostface Killah.

HANG ON ST. CHRISTOPHER

I kind of like Adobe Illustrator now- not enough for it to be a go to drawing tool though...

I have been fighting with Adobe Illustrator over these last three weeks in my Advanced Computer Illustration class. But as I was rendering my Thanksgiving Dinner I finally made something that I was really happy with or at least a fragment of the drawing that I was satisfied with.

Above is a drawing done in Illustrator of one of the pieces of chocolate cake that my girlfriend and I shared from "Best Chocolate Cake In the World"- a Brazilian based mini-chain with one American location. It definitely lived up to it's name... some other places I have recently ate at and loved: Fanny, Spring St. Natural Restaurant, and Delicatessen.

Black Coffee & Neil Young = Solid Wake Up

Slept in the studio last night, woke up and finished this sketch for the Max Sollisch "Dolfish" cassette (being put out by Indiecater) and 10'' record (drawing to be modified for square format)

CHEEZY FIESTA POTATOES & WILD CHERRY PEPSI

Went to TACO BELL DRAWING CLUB with my friends Joana and Haejon a few days ago and had a few to many Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes and refills of Wild Cherry Pepsi. Here is some new drawings from a sketchbook that I bought on Wednesday, November 17th.

STUDIOZ A BIT MORE LIVED IN

THE M TRAIN TO QUEENS ISN'T RUNNING DUH

Went to the NY Art Book Fair today @ PS1, going to write a whole post about it later. There were sooo many rad publishers from EVERYWHERE represented i.e. NIEVES, SHOWPAPER, ZINE OF THE MONTH, OOGA BOOGA, DESERT ISLAND, etc). But currently I need to work on this animation for my Computer Illustration class..

For now above is a drawing my friend Hyesu and I did on the steps of Ps1 and in the subway station, and also a drawing of an outraged guy who talked about seeing Denzel Washington in person for way to long.
