Pig Burger: Everybody Wants Some

New print for a group show coming up at Gallery 1988. It's called Crazy 4 Cult: 3-D, and each artist is asked to make artwork based on cult movies they like. It looks like a ton of great artists are contributing so if you are in the area, go check it out! Opens July 16th, and will be hosted by Kevin Smith(??) I used this opportunity to draw a giant pile of ground beef, based on the awesome burger scene from Better Off Dead.

Vegetarian Times

I'm terrible at blogging ... but here are some new things! Just finished two pieces for Vegetarian Times Magazine, thanks to AD Scott Hyers. One was an opener, for an article about the increasing trend in neighbors bartering, selling and buying homegrown produce for fruit gathered in their own backyards. (Ex. Giant chipmunk vs. mini-farmer)

The other was a spot, for an article about the comparison between bones of omnivorous women and bones of Buddhist nuns. Apparently there is no real health difference, which means being vegan does not necessarily increase your risk of brittle bones. Although these nuns were suspected to have consumed large amounts of soybean, which helps? (Happy bones on two-bone bicycle = Fun times for all)

American Illustration 28 Chosen

The "Talking Trees" piece for 5280 will be part of the AI web gallery in November. This is the first year I've submitted to AI, and I'm happy to be given a spot on the site amongst the 8,000+ submissions! Hopefully I'll sneak my way into the book sometime in the future.


Couple o projects in progress. More updates later in blog. The best news for now is, it is finally summer! I am already working on consuming smoothies at an inhuman rate.

Online Prints

So recently, some people have been emailing me about selling prints of my work online. One is Gallery Nucleus, the gallery that put on the SILA Illustration West 47 show. For copyright protection, I had to get rid of the text on the popsicle piece, but here it is:

GALLERY NUCLEUS

The other is a site called I Vote For Art. This is an online gallery where people can buy and vote for their favorite pieces. They are based in Melbourne, Australia, and they are great.

IVOTEFORART.COM & Blog!

Feel free to buy any of these things. The money will probably go toward my cat's cat food. Thanks to both Charles Prompongsatorn and Ben Rowe for contacting me and being interested in my work!

MSHVB in NY

Last night I went to see Mt St Helens Vietnam Band at the Bowery Ballroom. The show was impressive, and I was tickled to find out that they're all awesome people, to boot! Go and support them, they deserve it.



It was also cool seeing the merch table, with my artwork on every conceivable promotional item, from buttons to shirts to bars of soap!

Jack Tripper and the Brunette

Another piece for Gallery 1988.

Golden Girls

One of two prints for Gallery 1988's "Idiot Box" show in LA. The opening is on April 2nd, and will be hosted by Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell. The theme is guilty pleasure TV shows, and each artist is asked to make artwork reinterpreting their favorites. So for anyone who is wondering, here is what the Golden Girls would look like as a bunch of confused seals.
