smoke signals

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
