JUNE almost over- good riddance to crappy rainy June

Posted by on Jun 29, 2009 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Yes, it was crappy June. it rained nearly every stinking day here in New York. It’s sad that a month that normally is the best part of New York summer was so… soaked. Now it seems we’re being thrown into a hot, humid, and stinky July without a nice June. Damn you Global warming. Spaceman! […]

SketchBook Mania

Posted by on Jun 22, 2009 in Uncategorized | No Comments

My sketchbook is a literal mess. I’m always envious when I see another person’s sketchbook and it’s a pristine collection of drawing fit to be housed at the Met. But then again, I’d miss the random styles and explorations that plague and sprout up in my sketchbooks. I guess if you were to dig up […]

Been exceptionally busy as of late- but wanted to drop a quick post. I’ve been doing storyboards and comps at the JWT, an Advertising agency with mondo-clientele as Microsoft and Johnson and Johnson(not said too impress you, just to put in scope how fricking ridiculously huge these guys are). The work is light on thought […]

It all started with the Rabid Rabbit Release Party last Thursday, June 4th. It was a great party and it seemed everyone dug the Rabbit. There was much jubilant cavorting and it was nice to see many of the contributors show up (The photo is from that party- that’s Ben X. Trinh). The Friday I […]

June is one of my favorite months. aside of being the end of relatively crappy weather (when I was in PDX) and just before even worse weather (steamy stinky humid NYC in August) But it’s also the month the MoCCA Festival happens! I’ll be there at the Rabid Rabbit Table promoting myself and the new […]

Rabid Rabbit #10- “RR’s Kitty Kitty” Release Party

Posted by on May 28, 2009 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Oops we did it again, and for reasons I can’t quite explain other than our tendency toward a slight self-loathing. YES! Rabid Rabbit #10 is hot off the PRESS! and we’re going to celebrate it by drinking, and drinking and eventually stumbling and probably some singing, badly. So, Join us- all you need to know […]

Super Hero!

I don’t draw super heroes very often- it’s not that I have anything against them, I wouldn’t be drawing comics at all if it weren’t for the super heroes genre! So this is “the Pigeon” a character I’ve sketched up for my ever expanding story “A Brooklyn Something” if you read that earlier page from […]

Getting ready for MoCCA

Drawing, Drawing, etc. I’ve started a project that I thought I might have finished before MoCCA. When I started it, I envisioned crisp short story, that had a definite ending. I still think it could be that but maybe not so short… here’s the first page from it. I still wrestling with whether to color […]
