Honor asked me to draw him a rockabilly-ish tattoo for his hand. I did a bunch of drawings. I don't know yet if he likes any of them.

My fourth T-shirt (and my second good one) for Mishka is now available to look at, buy and wear. It's a large ink and watercolor portrait of Mishka mascot, Cyco Simon. My text logo was cut from the final shirt.



It's availaible on black, olive and white.

Mishka blogged about me coming by the store to try to cajole Russian teens into buying it and they beat me with wooden hangers.

I think it went pretty well. I didn't stutter and I only accidentally lied when I said that I grew up in New York. I meant that I was born here but grew up in Connecticut. It was my idea to film it in front of a haunted house.

It's a VBS/Vice Magazine Holiday Party and I'm DJing. Not only am I DJing but a limited edition Vice X 1800 tequila bottle will be available at the event with my art on it. I'll be DJing before and after the bands. What bands? Cold Cave and Small Black.



TO GET INTO THIS THING YOU HAVE TO RSVP HERE.

This is a drawing/painting I did for a little booklet of art inspired by Where the Wild Things Are. I drew my brother as Max since my brother seemed transformed by his anger and recently returned to me. Being in this book was a huge honor. Among the other artists are Tony Millionaire, Shintaro Kago, Matt Thurber, Ben Jones, Hellen Jo, Lisa Hanawalt and other people who blow my mind.

Check out the other artists who were involved in the project at the 24 Artists Inspired by Where the Wild Things Are website. You can download a PDF of the book and download my image as an iPhone wallpaper image.

You can even read an interview they conducted with me.


Here's the cover.

The Back

When I first met Franz he was working at Cosimic Cantina, serving tacos to NYU kids. I recognized him as the accordion player from World/Inferno Friendship Society and soon he was teaching me the instrument. When my moustache got long enough he gave me my first moustache wax. Now he's in a popular band called the Holdsteady who were referenced on Lost and opened for the Rolling Stones. He asked me to do album art for him and i did the front and back covers as well as those center circle stickers and a fold-out poster of this image.

You can pre-order the record from Team Science Records.





I did this for the Spider bags, You can pre-order it here.


I didn't do the record cover, just this page for a little booklet that comes with a limited edition version of the album. The Intellectuals are a fun Italian band that make hyper stuff. Their last album was boss and it was neat to get to do art for them. There are 300 copies of their record that come with the added bonuses of a CD and a zine. You can buy it here for fifteen euros if you're in Europe or eighteen if you're outside of Europe. See the original drawing in more close up detail here.

A few months back I did a tour poster for King Khan and the Shrines and Golden Triangle's 2009 tour. They made it into a T-shirt that was given to the bands. I got mine the other day.



Buy buy buy from Mishka.


You can get it in black, green, or white.



One of my favorite modern rockers, Jay Reatard, asked me to do a tour poster and shirt for him. If you go to one of the shows on the Shattered Records Tour you can buy the poster and shirt I made. It was a big honor for me since I relate heavily to the violent paranoia of his lyrics and draw while listening to his music.



Here I am wearing this shirt. You can buy it on his tour. I don't think it's for sale on the internet yet.


I did my first sketch for this on January 14th 2008. I drew the final thing on August 18th, 2008. Now you can finally wear it.


It's part of the fall line from California based company, Rockett. You can buy it here.
