corkboards galore

a friend of mine told me about a pair of "lost" posters she saw. people can be sooooo creative i love it

maki madness

a sushi place near my place in jp hosts an event called "Maki Madness" every sunday. as long as you pay with cash they offer a long list of maki rolls for 4.50 each. the delivery charge becomes nominal if you're like me and order 389367 rolls at a time. test your skills and try to match the maki names to the crudely drawn morsels.

from the depths

dug up an oooold unfinished project here. i was reading a book on pigeons (yup) and came across the factoid that Iron Mike Tyson raised homers when he was a kid and still holds them dear to his heart. i found this rather ironic along with i'm sure EVERY OTHER PERSON EVER.

also, don't you have days where it seems you drank a whole handle of this stuff?

i like painting

stayed up late painting in my sketchbook last night. african wild dogs are noted for their instinctual practicing of socialized health care. after a successful hunt, food is brought back to the young, old, and ailing dogs. something to be learned here.

some drawings

some drawings i made today of two of my clients at my day gig.

warming up

after upgrading living situations as well as operating systems i've scoured the internets for all the drivers i need to do the things i like to do on my computer. i've been super busy making over my new apt in jamaica plain so illustrations rarely leave my sketchbooks these days. i think my phone hates me. here is a portrait to be later refined.

eat me

sort of on hiatus while i get things sorted. currently on the bus to new york from boston - i designed this pattern as a color experiment (i'm color blind so i rarely spend time on color) and i think it would look great on dinner plates. maybe some blue duotone versions later to play on the blues on "fine" china.

Keeping My Hands Busy

creativity BLOCKED! just keeping my hands busy with some teenage mutant ninja turtles intravenous action. the original idea was to have the contents be petroleum but that was too cliché........

TYPETYPETYPETYPE

been working on what would be a complete display typeface if i had the time/knowledge to finish it all. i saw something similar to this on an advertisement a month ago and replicated it to suit my memory at first, then did some fine tuning so the set felt more cohesive.

Lucha Libre

so this could be a logo for a team of texan luchadores. the mask is self explanatory. the snake is a coral snake, which, among other places, resides in Texas and is highly lethal.

small drawings

went home to MA for the weekend and did a lot of drawing on the bus and stuff. here is some of it.

Business Card for the lovely Jessica Keefe

complete

playing with the atmosphere and adjusting some background compositional troubles did it

in progress

so i heard about the 300 tigers that were lost in India this past week and i started this here

aaand you're sure you want it in the shot?

so i read a story last week about this girl that inadvertently flashed her lady parts all over her high school year book. i guess wearing underwear to picture day at school isn't something most of of us have to think about. what made it worse is that her mother went on national television to talk about it. awesome.

logomotion

this is my favorite logo sketch for a Massachusetts based theatre production company's apprenticeship program. it will be printed on the polos the apprentices wear during shows and rehearsals.

MMNY

so here's my submission for a poster contest to design the Make Music New York 2009 official poster that will be part of a 50,000 copy distribution. sweet. wish me luck guys!

I'm going back - back, to cali - graphy

painted on my apt door while listening to classical music today. art is fun. see.

Subway Drawing

Spent some extended time on the subway last week and drew this. Which has seen some enlargement and will look mighty fine on a structure of some sort. I haven't drawn something this metal in a long time.

cool kid wallpaper

ok, so if i had wallpaper i would want it to look something like this
