Hi! So the other day I was perusing Creative Quarterly 16, as you do, and came across Tran Nguyen’s work. Her paintings are SO GOOD. Really whimsical and dreamlike…and the colors! It makes me want to get back into oil painting again. Maybe this summer….? Anyway, have a look at her stuff and website HERE.

Hello, all! I just finished up screen printing my child combatants drawing, and it is now available on ETSY! It’s black, white and silver! SILVER! IT SHIMMERS IN THE SUNSHINE. SUNSHINE. It’s pretty.

The Knitting Factory professionally printed on metallic paper is also available HERE!

And postcards HERE!

Thanks to everyone who came to the show on Monday! It went really well and was way more fun than expected. Too bad it was only up for one day…but did anyone stay the full 6 hours?!

I had this illustration in Plan B Magazine in April. Maybe you’ve seen it? It’s not an illustration I’m particularly proud of…it was pretty rushed and I felt kind of unguided. It turns out the final version was changed without my permission. It’s not a big deal, I just wish I was informed before hand, because I was pretty surprised when I saw it. It’s a touchy subject, secretly retouching illustrations, so I’ll just leave it at that! Here’s the original.

Also, if you’ve got time, the Parsons AMT Thesis Exhibit is up until May 23rd at 2 West 13th Street, NYC. Here is some signage I did for the illustration section. It’s on a SK8BRD! Illustration’s on the move…? I did one board that says “PROG”, which when put with the other four boards, makes Illustration Program. Interesting.

Yes. It’s on a toilet. My roommates and I like to keep our apartment pretty romantic, so the bathroom is the only place with proper lighting. And if you like trees and enjoy wasting time on the internet like myself, watch this video.

ArtTK (art to come) is being held this coming Monday the 11th from 5-11pm at 66 Fifth Avenue, NYC. Free wine, snacks and art viewing! The original drawings of my thesis on child labor and obsessive drawing will be included, so I’ll see you all there!

Can you guess where I’ll be? Here’s my sketch and final. I totally messed up my original final drawing during the coloring stage. I have a set of 100 markers and foolishly used about 50 of them trying to color, so I ended up digitally coloring instead. I don’t usually do that because I enjoy coloring by hand, but I make sure I do a lot of scanning while I’m working just in case…

Wow! I just noticed that the spoon in the sketch became steam in the final! I thought I drew a spoon in the first place, and I was wondering where it went and why I was drawing another in the final. I like it better where it is now than where it is in the sketch, anyway. I’m lucky. I’m tired.
