Autumn is for Guiness!

It's Fall and that means Guiness.

These are some illustrations from the Guiness factory that I thought were pretty cool. 

Drink up!

Giants Week 3

Here's another GIants illustration. I should be posting more often than this. Sorry.

The Giants destroyed the Bucks this week 24 - 0.

Sadly, I didn't see the game because I had to work. 

Ah well...

Giants Week 2

Here's part 2 in the Giants Series. 

This week was a tough game as the Cowboys and Giants were neck and neck from the very start. Romo threw a few interceptions, Manning did some dodging that would make Big Ben proud. In the end it came down to a field goal by Tynes. 

Good game!

Are we not men?

We are Devo!

Devo is playing a show in November. They'll be doing the entire Q: Are we not men? A: We are Devo! album from start to finish as well as a "Meet and Greet" prior to the start of the show.

Thanks to Boom City for letting me know about this! I'm so excited!

Big Blue, Week 1

This is the first of a 16 part series. There will be an update each week of a new illustration representing what happened in the New York Giants game of the previous week.

In week 1 the Giants were dominating the Redskins until the end of the first half. The Redskins faked a field goal and ran it i for a touchdown. Which was total BS.

Not that it mattered. The Giants still destroyed them.

Lets all watch the Giants beat the Cowboys this Sunday! (Except that Tony Romo's my fantasy QB... so maybe the Cowboys could get a few touch downs)

Mishima

I just did an illustration for Yukio Mishima's Temple of the Golden Pavilion. 

It's a great book about a schizophrenic monk who believes that the Golden Temple in Kyoto is too beautiful to exist. He also believes that the Temple is responsible for the negative turns his life takes. To solve this problem he burns the Temple to the ground.

No I didn't ruin the book for you. It's based on an actual Monk who did in fact burn most of the Temple to the ground. If you haven't read it then you should.

Wabash

Here's a drawing of the Wabash Loop on the chicago subway system. 

Enjoy.

SpeakEasy Show

My work was selected to be a part of the annual Speak Easy Illustration show this year. It's a one night only show that features 24 illustrators. Apparently there's a lot of applicants for this show so it was pretty cool that my work was selected. 

It was a fun night. As usual Claudia's the best cause she stayed there with me all night long and she didn't mind too much when I got frustrated hanging the pictures. The wall I was hanging on was pure plaster and none of the nails would go in the wall.

There was a review of the show on Blog T.O. It was a very general review, which is fair considering how many artists were involved, but my work did get featured in one of the photographs (only 2 other artists were featured) so that made me feel pretty good. Would have been nice to see my name on there though.... whatever. Awesome. People like my work!

Check out the pictures I attached and follow this link to see the review:

Data

This is Data. He'll be living with me from now on. I think he'll probably spend most of his time under the couch.
