Regulars on Hollins St.

More characters from my ongoing project.  It's a picture book,
inspired by Sasek, Andrew Wyeth, WG Sebald, and my own
childhood memories of growing up in and around Baltimore.
I really like that Limbo game: how the story is a backdrop and
what you experience is the mood and remnants of the story.

Poop Deck Project: Pirate Pilot

 

Here's a full view of my contribution to the Ammo Magazine/Inky Goodness "Poop Deck Project" show this past April.  Pirate Pilot belongs to the pirate suite, and he's inspired by Somali pirates and African patterns.  For more info on how to get a deck of cards and to check out the other great cards, look here!

Picture Book Preview Pt. 2

Here's another piece from the picture book I'm now wrapping up.
It'll be published through Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in the first
quarter of 2014. The image above is part of a cover idea that we
decided not to use.  What's Robin up to?

Northern Mockingbird

Back in Studio City, Northern Mockingbird used to regularly
wake up my wife in the middle of the night.  Now on the Peninsula,
I've been seeing him everywhere along with Yellow Warblers and Red
Finches.

I'm quiet these days!  Very busy with projects, mostly the picture
book. I'll try harder to post a little more.  There's a bunch of stuff
on the back burner ready to get finished.

Poop Deck Project Sneak

 

I'm participating in a fun show curated by Inky Goodness
and Ammo Magazine!  For my part I designed a Helmsman
character for a set of Pirate themed poker cards. It's planned
for the end of this month, details here
