just did this little illo for justin “scrappers” morrison over at the portland mercury. it features 3 bands that are pretty great. it’s nice to be drawing people who’s work i’m into. the bands are tune-yards, dirty projectors, and nurses. more news comin very soon! merry christmas! (if you’re into that sort of thing).
super busy with work lately. nothing i can show for a while, but let me just say animation and TV. as for now, here’s some more pages from that little zine i’m trying to finish.
i’ve been working on a little zine of black & white and color drawings, hand drawn type, maybe some photos, and other fun stuff. here’s a couple little things to keep the blog fresh.
Here’s three illustrations for this weeks SFweekly for an article about young illegal kids being tricked, baited, and/or snatched up under very shady circumstances and put into police custody where they are then deported back to Central or South America. The FBI got involved when they caught wind of this and it’s been a major political issue in SF lately. Really intense stuff. I’m glad that I got the opportunity to apply my work to this serious subject matter.
Also, my buddy Justin Page has left the Art Director position there, so I worked with the very cool Darrick Rainey over at the LAWeekly on this project while he fills in. Sorry to see you go Justin!
new paintings are coming soooooon…
and some odd sketchbook stuff…
the little jam comic was done by drew beckmeyer, jackson beydha, and myself. i did the first and last panels, drew did the second and jackson did the third.
my mind’s been on bikes lately since I’m well enough to be riding mine again finally.
I’m no longer in the hospital. Time will tell if I need to go back in, since that surgery got a postponement. It all depends on how well my “giant” pancreatic pseudocyst handles being back in the world. There’s a small chance it might resolve itself.
On other news, while I was in the Hospital I was in a show at the Riverside Art Museum with Sammy Harkham, Travis Millard, Rusty Jordan, Souther Salazar, Taylor McKimens, Mark Todd, Esther Pearl Watson, Megan Whitmarsh, and many more. The above image is one of the paintings I did for that show. In total I had 15 pieces in the show, including a hand full of comic pages.
Also, while I was in the hospital, my buddy Jason Redwood and I were featured in Juxtapoz. Below are some scans of those pages, so’s you can read em fer yerself, and a small spot I did for SFWeekly while I was still ill…
