The comic I drew for this book is probably the best thing I have ever drawn, here's a sneak peak:

fun fact: this book has 5 twin contributors!!!! Alisa Stern, Dan and Gabe Pinto, Will Krause, and me! TWINS ARE AWESOME.

My fall term senior show is tomorrow! here is a sneak peek of what I'll be exhibiting... more photos when everything is hung...!

peeing myself

2010-12-11T11:40:00.001-08:00

AAAAAAAHHH The Static Fish crew and I just got an email from our awesome printer-liaison Michael Quinn with photos of the finished print of the next Static Fish issue, they look AMAZING. I cannot wait to get my hands on them and rub them all over my face.

Projected arrival date is Monday!!!!

more riso projects

2010-12-09T20:43:00.001-08:00

OK this art isn't mine, but I printed it~~~ It's the art of Maritsa Patrinos, she draws the web comic Seasonal Depression!

basically I am just trying to become really familiar with the risograph and practice using it a lot. for this book Maritsa wanted some sections in blue and some in purple, so the challenge for me was to make sure the pages and colors matched up back-to-back and color-to-color (since you can only print one color at a time on a risograph).

it went pretty smoothly! the book is about 24 pages so I thought it would take a long time and that I would mess up a lot of test pages, but actually it went a lot faster than I anticipated and with few scrapped paper.

WOO-HOO!

mini zine

2010-12-07T21:25:00.001-08:00

Sometimes I have to take a break from drawing angry animals, and instead draw stressed out animals....

Here is a small zine of brush and ink cartoons in two colors, blue on one side and purple on the other. They are Risograph printed!

My favorite is the larger picture of the wolf brushing his teeth (i brush my teeth when i'm stressed out). Actually I'm always shocked when people call it a wolf since it was supposed to be a horse, but I didn't give it a mane or hooves so of course now it looks like a wolf!!!

About 20 were printed on pink card stock that you see in the corner of the first image. The card stock is too heavy to keep printing on though..really gave me a lot of trouble, it kept jamming the riso and then to fold it I had to score and double-fold all the folds, time-consuming! They look super good though...!!!!!

more WIPS

2010-12-03T19:02:00.000-08:00

verrryyyy small print I'm working on for an exchange folio with my classmates. This is Peter in his role as Eddie from the movie Funeral Parade of Roses. Funeral is a great, twisted movie about Japanese Queens in the 60s, lots of drama~~

you can see some mini books hiding underneath the print there... I made them to give out at the Brooklyn Comic and Graphic Festival tomorrow! (though there's only maybe 30 copies) I'll be volunteering... I'M SO NERVOUS.....

more photos of the mini zines after the show..~~
and I finished the tiger print! but forgot to get a photo, so that will be later this week...!

WIP 2

2010-11-27T18:43:00.001-08:00

Today I printed! I'm pretty psyched that I was able to lay down all these colors in one go, woo! This is still unfinished since I am thinking of adding a red layer around his mouth. I'm also still not sure what to do about the eyes, my original intent was to draw them in with pencil, but I sort of like how they are looking now...

WIP

2010-11-25T20:48:00.000-08:00

attempting to blog more with in-progress pieces... can I follow through!? no idea. these are separations for a 3-color (or 4-color?) screenprint. hopefully I can put ink to paper this weekend!

i play pokemon

2010-11-13T10:10:00.001-08:00

Pokemon is the only videogame I play.

This is Ho-Oh, the legendary rainbow Pokemon! Ho-Oh is the only Pokemon that can hold the item 'Sacred Ash', it's a draw-string bag of ashes that heals your entire party. Instead of holding a lumpy bag, this Ho-Oh is holding a branch from an ash tree, hahaha!

anyway this is a medium screenprint, about 16"x21" printed on this interesting/annoying fabric-like rice paper. you can see that I still suck at registration.

find your pack

2010-11-09T11:34:00.000-08:00

This tiger really wants to hang out with these zebras, but he has no idea what he's doing. I feel like this a lottt.
Anyway, this is a 5-layer print with two split-fountains, my first split-fountain!!!

Salmon Days

2010-09-17T19:40:00.001-07:00

When it's summer, this song is always running through my head: Do As Infinity - Summer Days
When I was younger I really disliked eating salmon, but this summer I became very interested in eating salmon whenever possible....a trend towards eating healthier? anyway, I really like summer, these cooler days are unsettling and I've already started coughing.

Picture Book Report

2010-09-17T19:31:00.001-07:00

a little while back I was featured on Meg Hunt's sweet Picture Book Report project. The page is here and this is the book excerpt:

“I often crouched down and watched with bated breath as a scrap of paper or a leaf writhed and changed its shape within the flames. The bonfire reminded me of when I had seen my father’s bones at the crematorium, and as the sight had not alarmed me, I began to think about his bones every time we burned the leaves, rerunning the memory over and over again in my mine until my father’s bones gradually became divorced from other memories and simply remained a close and familiar thought.”

MAGGOTS reprint

2010-09-09T15:56:00.000-07:00

I reprinted copies of MAGGOTS this week. printed them in PURPLE from the sweet, sweet sweet risograph at my work place, so now they feel velvety and delicious and will get purple ink all over your fingers, you know you love it!!!!! Anyway I'll be selling these at the Small Press Expo this weekend along with my Static Fish and Slow Youth crew (it's like the same people, different name..) anyway, TABLE B9, GUYS. B9.

smoke signals

2010-08-05T16:35:00.001-07:00

These are submissions for Desert Island's Smoke Signal publication. The first comic was published in Issue 5 and I'm crossing my fingers that the second one will get into Issue 6. these comics are always super awkward to show people because everyone assumes that one of the bunnies is me and the other is my sister and that the stories are true and they actually aren't and you leave my sister out of it.

I made a grid for the second one, look at how much better it looks!! Hahahahah

MAGGOTS

2010-08-03T14:04:00.000-07:00

Even though I wouldn't describe myself as insectophobic, lately I've been having a lot of nightmares and paranoia about bugs.
This zine was made for the NY Mini Zine festival last Saturday, it was a fun event! It was very intimate, only about 20 people had tables so I got to chat it up with almost everyone. Andrew Hoepfner, Katie Haegle, Kenan Rubenstein, and Joseph Carlough's work particularly stood out to me.

sister of mine

2010-08-03T13:30:00.000-07:00

Last month my sister was hit by a taxi while biking and broke her collar bone. She's completely fine now and back to her usual routine of working out all the time.
The last page was drawn by Tony Cudahy

pages from the blue sketchbook

2010-07-23T07:23:00.000-07:00

June was a pretty bad month for art since I was working full-time and coming home late brain-dead. Most of my free hours were spent zoning out watching movies and drawing with a multi-colored Muji pen. There was a lot of Cronenberg, David Lynch, and Mathew Barney happening.

July July

2010-07-03T19:20:00.000-07:00

These five are mixed media pieces for my illustration final this past semester. Completed sometime mid-May.
Silkscreen, collage, thread, paper, paint and ink on wood. 30"x40"
the theme was to interpret "normal"

Susannah

2010-06-02T20:20:00.000-07:00

This is the comic I drew for the 2010 color issue of Static Fish. It is based on the song "Ain't It a Pretty Night" from the opera Susannah by the American composer Carlisle Floyd.

There is a very beautiful performance of this song by Renee Fleming over here on the tubes of you. Someday I would like to see Susannah on stage.

Static Fish in Real Places (reel places?)

2010-06-02T20:02:00.000-07:00

check it dudes, Static Fish is having a release party next week and you're invited.
It's happening at Desert Island next Tuesday the 8th at 7pm. (540 metropolitan ave, take the L or G to Lorrimer!!)

If i haven't explained before: Static Fish is this 25-year-old, school-funded, student-run comic Pratt Institute publication that I've been involved in since freshman year. It's been exciting to see how my peers (piers?) have developed and improved over the past three years. For this volume we went bat-shit crazy on the production, it's hard-bound and full color. I gotta give props to Jane Wu for really spear-heading Static Fish and the Comic Club, keeping everything organized and everyone on their toes. and to Jay Ray Stephens for believing our ideas into reality.

Here also are some better photos of the actual book:

June Bend

2010-06-01T21:10:00.000-07:00

these pages were drawn at the beginning of May, looking at them now I really want to put tones on it arghhh. They are for a future issue of Static Fish (fall2010 probably).

i have reservations about this being wordless.

MoCCA

2010-04-09T20:12:00.001-07:00

hand over waves

2010-03-11T14:19:00.000-08:00

school is slaying me but i'm having a good time
this term is weird, for the first time in years i am working mostly with traditional media in large format (collage, silkscreen, wash). it's quite fulfilling, but also means the images aren't conveniently on my hard drive to share (and I don't own a scanner). must work on taking good photos..

i'm working on a group book project called STATIC FISH, the bare-bones blog is here: http://staticfish.blogspot.com These images are the cover and also spot illustrations of just kind of coked-out looking paranoid fish. The cover is silkscreened with a layer added in photoshop (the light white over the figure.)
anyway, the book should debut at MoCCA, it's like 60 pages of full color dreamyness.

here are also some spot illustrations I did for the Prattler

Spera

2010-02-07T08:08:00.001-08:00

These are the three pages I drew for Josh Tierney's incredible collaborative web comic, Spera.

Linksssss

2010-02-07T08:00:00.000-08:00

Recently someone convinced me to get a Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/krismukai/
It is actually SO MUCH EASIER to upload work than I had initially thought. Compared to Devaintart or Carbonmade's process, uploading to Flickr is like cutting butter.

Also a group of friends and I have started a comic review/writing blog: http://escapefromsuicidewolfforest.blogspot.com/

I only have one article written so far, but in the future I want to cover more zines/minicomics. Writing is actually something I really hate doing, on a visceral level.

Mother goose

2010-02-03T17:09:00.001-08:00

Classes have started up again.

Mother Goose rhymes are pretty weird, you can do a lot with the imagery. This was one attempt for my Children's Illustration class, but the result is too editorial-like so I'll have to try again.

2009-11-18T18:40:00.000-08:00

Comic done for HATCH/Static Fish publication at my school.
It's based off of someone I knew last term, he never slept and this term he's disappeared. I wonder where he went and if he's okay.

Anyway, I am pretty displeased that when I ink with brush it looks totally different than when I ink with a pen. I am not sure which direction to take.

Marc Boutavant

2009-11-04T07:21:00.000-08:00

Yesterday my Children's Book Illustration class went to the Society of Illustrators to check out the current exhibit of... children's book illustrations! Wow!

My absolute favorite artist at the show was Marc Boutavant:

gotta have a disgruntled bear!

His website is here @HeartAgency
The images are fromMary Ann hoberman's site, Children's Illustration blog, RIFLE blog, and Stella1's photostream. I NEED to get my hands on my own copy of his books though...

Our class assignment was to pick out illustrations we liked and mark down the book publisher, then we find the contact/submission process of those houses. I'm still learning about the children's book industry, but I know for comics that someday I would love for my work to be mature enough to be published by Fantagraphics or Drawn and Quarterly.

Good morning pt 2

2009-10-27T08:47:00.001-07:00

here are the interior pages for the book in this post

last week my classmate asked me "why are you obsessed with bunnies?" and i didn't have an answer

why are you doing this

2009-10-27T08:34:00.001-07:00

p.s. apparently the only thing i can draw this term are bunnies

2009-10-14T05:54:00.001-07:00

Good morning!!!!!

2009-09-24T21:29:00.000-07:00

one of eight tiny illustrations for my publishing/zine class. will post the others later along with photos of all the books I've been making! This is by far one of my favorite classes all term.

the bunny's names are Otis (hat) and Ceaser (smaller one), although i guess it doesn't really matter what they are named..? a friend of mine asked if they were me and my sister and I'm fine with that, too :) anyway I think they live on the moon or something.

Here is some more backed-up school work from this term.

The assignment was to take 11 colors and visually describe them without using the actual color. My approach was to convey the symbolism behind each color. These four were the most successful photos.

also also HATCH has started a blog at hatchcomics.blogspot.com

Backlog, illusts from spring

2009-05-25T05:31:00.000-07:00

Long time no see!
Survey is over, I finally finished moving into my new place, it's time to get started on some new projects.
Right now I'm super-crunching on another 10 page comic that should ~debut~ at MoCCA, but for now here are some backed up illustration projects:

These were both for an assignment to illustrate a toy.

2009-05-05T10:44:00.000-07:00

Hatch vol. 2 is finally in print! The issue is twice as big as our last issue (200 pages!!!) and has twice as many contributors as well!! It's crazy.
I drew a 10 page short narrative story, you can see the preview pages above. :)

You can order the book from LULU here!:
Order Hatch v. 2!!

Photos from our release party to come soon...
Awesome!!

oh my gosh

March Illustrations

2009-03-13T18:23:00.001-07:00

Three for a contest?? about clever takes on like.. The old west culture and 21st century culture combined. It was quite open-ended so I based these on memories I have of living in Texas when I was 5. All I remember are long stretches of nothing and playgrounds everywhere. (also caterpillars falling from the sky)

This project got me looking at quite a few architecture books about constructing/designing playgrounds and now I think I would like to draw more playgrounds in the future.

P.S. http://krmukai.carbonmade.com/

SPX Photos

2008-10-14T17:27:00.000-07:00

Better late than never, here are some photos from this year's SPX!

It's Andre!!

The lovely Hilary <3

Those cats from Our Friend the Atom!!! These guys are so full of comic enthusiasm, they are the best to run into at cons!!

Kat, Kim, and the dudes from You Ain't No Dancer~~!!(Ed and Phil!) I've been internet-following Kim's comics for at least 7 years so it was wonderful to finally meet her in person (;_;

This year's haul, hahah! (A two-person combination.)

WTF IS THIS!!! (TT____TT So far I've only translated "THE BLACK MINE" (the title)...

Even though we could only be there on Saturday, Kat and I had a good time just chilling with people and looking at good comics, yeah!!!

school

2008-10-08T19:22:00.000-07:00

school is all-consuming.

let me repeat that again,

ALL-CONSUMING

it's so bad that I'm having dreams about my teachers, inwhich we discus academic topics!!! (like the significance of typographical counters.) horrible.
I have actual art and things to post but have NO TIME TO actually post them, I hate this!
And this past weekend I went to SPX, so I have photos to post and emails to write to people and there is just no time (-_-

But SPX was wonderful, so much great comics and so many good, good people!!!

Your Quiet Neighbors.com

You know how many years I've been saying "today I gotta make the website!!!"!?!? and then all that ever gets done is like the layout and after that I poop out. Using Dreamweaver makes things SO MUCH EASIER/FASTER OMG. It's like the difference between aimlessly wandering a barren wasteland vs. being guided by nymphs and elves in a lush magical forest.

SO YEA! anyway I'm back from Colorado. It was an exciting trip but I was sick for almost all of it so uuhh... 8(
Photos comin' later, right now I'm focusing on getting ready for Otakon!!!

Also working on more Vein pages and have been accepted into the Royal Rumble tournament over at Enter Void!!!!! WAAAAYYYYY exciting!

Another exciting thing is earlier this month I was interviewed with fellow Static Fish Friends over at Comics Bulletin! You can read the interview: here

OK back to work!

Mountains against sky

2008-07-19T22:52:00.000-07:00

Tuesday I'm leaving for Colorado for a family reunion. This is my family that I rarely see because they live so far away, so it is kind of (very) exciting. I was a really antisocial kid (and still am hahah) so I am excited to now actually maybe possibly have some kind of relationship with these people before we all die.

Because my Aunt died on Thursday.

Will I be bitter forever for missing that show.

I still haven't seen Dark Knight, and that might have to wait until after Colorado, but I did watch Manic and Fur recently. Both movies are very beautiful, Fur is visually and emotionally breath-taking and Manic makes me question a lot of things.

Art update when I get back, namely new page for Walking City and information about HATCH vol. 1

I've fallen into the habit of staying up until 2a-4a in the moring and then sleeping till noon, getting up, eating, going to work, come home 11p, and then just doing nothing until 2a (cheat repeat cheat repeat).
This is not encouraging artwork production at all....

Sometime ago I did manage to finish this (super rushed super bad) battle over at Enter Void. You can check it out here:
Julius v. Rex

Max Beck also completed the first five pages of his Vein comic, Side-Effects, so please check that out!!
Kat and I are working on the next chapters of Nous/suoN and Walking City along with things for the upcoming Otakon....!!

OK off to work

it's finally up.
if.. you find any broken links.... be a dear and please point them out. It was a pain in the ass for me to get the pages to work correctly... ugh...
Kat and I are going to MoCCA this weekend.
I have to..to wake up in two hours to catch a bus to NY. We almost didn't have a place to stay Saturday night, which was awesome for about an hour and then my old painting teacher called back and.. I can't wait to see her show on Sunday.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL THE COMICS AT MoCCA AND TOTALLY FANGIRL ALL OVER THE PLACE IN A HORRIFYING SLEEP-DEPRIVED MANNER!

p.s. I'm growing my hair out. It's pretty horrible right now.

Paints

2008-05-26T21:33:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine, my sister, and I, are undergoing a paint-off. This is where we each paint a.. painting each week. It's a motivational kind of thing.

First attempt at left. The vase is bull-shitted and I don't even attempt it in the second painting (which, coincidentally, I like MORE).

Painting advice is greatly appreciated, I feel like those old people who are so bad they don't even know how bad they are. If I just keep painting hopefully something will click.

Here are some anime-ish watercolor:

The Mourning Star sketches

2008-04-18T18:18:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite comics at the moment is The Mourning Star, by Kazimir Strzepek.

(Some more of his work here: http://www.scubotch.com/kaz.html)

I bought vol. 1 back in March and also somehow own the Papercutter issue that contains a Mourning Star side story. (how did I get this comic??? I don't even remember?? did Kat pick it up???)
My favorite characters are Dagger Face + Pike, and the Snipper Sniper, so here is some fanart:

How will he get his stuff back?! I want to know, too! Hurry and draw vol. 2, Mr. Strzepek!
