"Offering" (For Larry David)/IS THIS THING ON? 2

I'm really excited about the upcoming show at Gallery 1988 Melrose; firstly, because I got to pay tribute to a brilliant comedian whose work I am very fond of, and secondly, because the opening reception is going to be hosted by one of my childhood idols, Weird Al Yankovich!  The show is called "Is This Thing On" 2: The Weird Year, and it opens Friday, March 9th at 7 PM.  As always, it's got lots of great artists in it and you should definitely go check it out if you can.  You can read more about the show HERE.

I received a long list of great comedians to choose to depict for this show, and I quickly singled out Larry David, as 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is one of my absolute favorite shows.  If you are a die-hard fan of the show like I am, you should be able to identify quite a fair amount of jokes from the show in there.  Everyone else,  I really have no idea what you'll make of this...


Stoked to show this piece to the world next friday, and to show it to you, right here, right now:

PopCurious

Thanks to the folks over at PopCurious for posting my ATHF piece along with some of the other great pieces from G1988's Adult Swim show last month.

Check it out here.

Working hard on a painting for my next group show, but I'm going to keep it a secret until the show opens.  I will post teaser pics in the near future.  Very excited about this one.

We did it, man

Thought I would post these little canvases I made for my RISD homies last summer as graduation presents.    Now that we are all real people with jobs and actual responsibilities it is especially nice to reminisce on some of the great times we had together in school.  Keep up the good work fellas.

ADULT SWIM x G1988

This Friday is the opening of Gallery 1988's much anticipated group show dedicated to Adult Swim.  Since 2001, the network has broadcast a whole slew of awesome cartoons and other programs for mature audiences.  This was a perfect opportunity for me to pay tribute to one of my favorite late night cartoons, Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (formerly Aqua Teen Hunger Force).

Allah Las

I designed this typography for CA band 'Allah Las' who I have seen live several times now and really enjoy.  They recorded their upcoming LP down the street from my office so I thought maybe they might need a logo.  They didn't like it.   but I do................... so f*** em.

AT LEAST MY MOM LIKES MY ART.

BRAVE NEW WORLD

have been working on this little illustrated story for a couple weeks now, and hope to have it finished soon.  It started out as a zine and progressed into more of a miniature graphic novel.  It's my first time trying  to incorporate story-telling into my work and my first time doing these kind of sequential illustrations.     When it is complete the full story will consist of 14-18 full page drawings and will available for sale at my webstore for a couple bucks.

Preview the cover and first two pages of Brave New World below:
