These first two are for an article in Guide Magazine. I'm most proud of the boys rosy cheeks and that fact that I actually looked up the word "flour" in German.





These are some images from my sketchbook. I decided to buy one recently. I do like it in some ways, but I am very used to being able to screw up a drawing on regular computer paper and not worrying about throwing it away. I try to be a bit more careful in the sketchbook. I'm not sure if it helps my art or not.








And lastly, I have started submitting some shirts to LaFraise.com And I am having better success than on Threadless. Apparently my stuff is more popular in the EU than in my homeland. Please check out the site. Sign up and vote if you have an inclination. They have different contests for the general EU (in English), France and Germany. So if you know any of those languages you might want to check out those other ones.

I just want to say one more thing. My wife and I have been watching Battlestar Galactica on DVD. We are halfway through the second season. Does everyone else just love this show? I'm a sci-fi geek so I tend to like the space setting anyway, but my wife is way into it as well. Does it keep staying awesome through the next season?

Parts 2 & 3 of 3 for Guide Magazine. The story is about a girl leaving her village in Italy during WWII when soldiers come to occupy it. In the end she gives a bible to the German soldier and that same soldier releases her father (a prisoner of war) instead of executing him. Kinda crazy stuff.

Here is a cover I did for the Pitch. The one on the left is the final and on the right my preferred version.

I also have this shirt up for voting on LaFraise.com.

LaFraise is similar to Threadless but is European based. Please sign up and vote.

One last thing. I was chosen to be one of the featured artists on IllustrationMundo.com again. Check me out on the left hand side.

Part 1 of 3 for Guide Magazine. The story is about a girl leaving her village in Italy during WWII when soldiers come to occupy it. I haven't done the other 2 parts yet.


This is a little t-shirt design for a band called Asher in the Rye. I used a brush and ink with a little bit of halftone pattern stuff.

I also did a cover for "The Pitch" recently. I'll post it after the issue comes out.

I'm switching my email to my domain name.

Please check out my newest Critique. Any advice is much appreciated.

I was just messing around with this. I used a few textures for it. One was a scan of some old paper and the other was a photo of a screen on a window (for the wallpaper stuff.) My wife says that she is creeped out by his smile and the gun. I guess there is some implied craziness/menace there. I think it gives it more character.

I also wanted to thank everyone for the printing suggestions. I am looking into it.

Any pieces that you would be interested in buying?

I have had a few requests for art prints lately. Does anybody that reads this know a good (relatively cheap) place that does prints? The best would be a place that works like cafe-press, (print per order) but is a bit higher quality. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
