You know you’ve made it when you have drawn a large pipe smoking sea captain with a bottle of “GHOST BEER” haunting his hat & shoulders. I’m the goddam king now.

“Hug it out” was created for The State of Design Festivals’s “Home STREAT Home” exhibition. The subject of the work had to be based on… wait for it… HOME. Here’s the blurb that goes with it, be warned, I was feeling all melancholy when I did this, it may get a bit oopy doopy.

“Hug it out” is the moment when you are with that one person who’s embrace, smell, & touch gives you your sense of security. Who’s presence reminds you that you didn’t feel quite as safe or at home, when they weren’t around.”

See, told you.

Air Poetry Magazine is straight outta Kalamazoo, Michigan.. thats right Kalamazoo. I was asked to put together a illustration to accompany a poem to be published in their summer 2011 issue. Here’s the poem:

Her Bones Shrink and Radiate
My sister carries microwaves in her skullcap.
I’ve seen her chanting sonnets to the finches at her window, singing love-songs to her kitchen sink.
On Sundays, she serves bourbon to men with half-grown beards and measures the sound of lips meeting glass, folds napkins into feathered leaves.

Actually don’t know who the author is but I’ll take any chance I get to draw radioactive bar wenches forcing booze down a finches throat.

Latest gig poster for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Or TPOBPAH, as I call them.

Latest gig poster for Japanese garage punk power trio “Guitar Wolf“. They are apparently Japan’s greatest “Jet” band of all time. Who Knew?

Both these posters didn’t get a guernsey, & I like the one they chose ( see below) but I prefer both of these to the eventual winner. Who knew mormon indie rock gods could be so picky?

The good people at Manic Productions asked me to create some art for upcoming shows by low-fi indie gods Sebadoh & Low. I was all “like yah” and they were all “hey cool”. True story.
