Getting Ready for ICON! + Finished Congressmen!

Hi Everybody,

It's that time again- time to get ready for the Illustration Conference! I'll be happily attending this year's conference, which is being held in Rhode Island. I will also be sharing a table with the illustrious Mike Hirshon at the "Rhode Show" Bazaar and sale. Below I have pictured a sampling of what I'll have- including Congressmen, prints, buttons, and ANIMALS in SUITS!

I'm also going to use this post to officially unveil the finished Congress Project. I'll continue to post these on the blog singularly, but if you want to own all of them in print form then you'll have to stop by ICON!

BUSTed Art at VIPink this Saturday!

Hey everyone-

I have a print debuting tomorrow at the event VIPink. All the info on this event can be found here. Hopefully folks can make it out since half the proceeds for all the prints sold will go to support breast cancer research!

My print is based off of representations of women from throughout history- including lesser known deities in the States like Nut (Egyptian sky goddess) and Mazu (South Chinese Ocean goddess).

ARTCRANK sneak peek!

Hey everyone! You should be marking your calendars- St. Louis ARTCRANK is coming! The show will be occurring at the Atomic Cowboy from May 12 to the 14th. Full details and a roster of participants HERE.

Yours truly will have a print at the show this year! Here is a sneak peek- with a display of the full-poster to come later.

See you at the show!

Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale

Like Art? Like Local Artists? Wanna buy that illustration I did of the cards fan in cubland and stick it on your wall? SURE YOU DO. And that's why you should come out to the Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale!

It will be my first year ever participating in the event- and as a special treat/ insane departure from my usual work I am producing a screen printed edition of this illustration I made especially for the event-and, yes, I am considering a year-long project of Robots

(note: final silk screen may lack coffee-esque illo stains. sorry)

There will be a TON of other great artists at the event, from the likes of Dan Zettwoch, Molly Brooks, Scorcha, The FireCracker Press, All Along Press, Sleepy Kitty, etc.!

It's gonna be a great day, and you do not want to miss it! More info HERE.
