Here are some more images:

Downright!

I am in this show coming up! The reception is on October 5th. There are alot of really great people in it, in fact i would say that it is garunteed to be ausome.

Everything is still hazy...

Workspace/ shit i'm working on
I'm excited to move out of my kitchen and into the gowanus studios next month! Check out thier website. I'm really excited to be a part of thier organization. Plus i think i belong on the gowanus canal.

I'm finally starting to feel caught up on life, and overwhelmed by it at the same time. I still have to get going on the cake toppers for my bff's wedding.....

Summer is over

The month of august was nuts for me... I worked comic con! Then i went to LA! Then i went on art-cation at the Race Point Summer Artist Colony/Residency. Then I spent the rest of the month catching up on work and life.
Race point was in Maine near Lubec, right on Cobscock Bay. There was no running water or electricity. We listened to alot of canadian radio, which turned me on to space elevators. Seriously, elevators to space. Its gonna happen. I made this painting there. Its not really finished. We also did alot of silly collabortive drawings.

You can check out more pictures on my flickr page!
There are also pics from Comic Con, LA and flowers at the getty. ...and dumb shit like this:
Be warned, some of the pictures from race point contain nudity (but not of me!).

COMIC CON

In a couple of hours i'll be getting on a plane to San Diego with my fellow kidrobots to attend comic con! I'll be at booth 4629 most of the time. ALSO I will be photo blogging on the brand new Kidrobot Flickr page. You can follow my comic con follies here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kidrobotrules/

Check it!

Check out these shoes i just finished.
I photographed them on a pile of bait under one of the marsh bridges near my parents house. I got a couple mosquito bites.

Physalius and his Magical Gill Ship

So this is what i've been doing the past 2 weeks. I am the master of the 4:30 am.
Anyway i finally finished it today! I was asked to try my hand at Kidrobot's new Mini Munny Mobile and here it is.

Physalius and his Magical Gill Ship

Physalius (named after the portuguese man-o-war...totally bad ass), cruises around the ocean floor looking for treasure and pearls. He's a cold blooded killer who would do anything for spanish gold, so hide your shiney things.

Here's some more pictures:

Physalius is available for purchase. Please email me if interested.

Mini Munny Mobile! in progress!

This is what i've been working on this week! Kidrobot's new Mini Munny Mobile!
Some in progress shots:

Pre-sanding Post sanding One of the accessories this munny kit comes with is a bubble dome. Unfortuatly i've discovered the fins i built on the munny are too big to fit the dome on. So tonite i have a date with a dremel and i'm going to sink the floor of the car.

New Painting!

I just finished this painting for a charity postcard project, 24Cents.
The goal of the project, called 24Cents, is to provide a venue for artists and designers to use their talent as a positive social tool, raising awareness about a relevant issue while maintaining a strong sense of personal style and voice. The project will benefit Urban Word NYC.

The Debatable Beasts in Sweden

I was interviewed for an article in the swedish newspaper, Expressen. They used a picture of my Little Zerster munny. Its pretty cool but i can't read it! I think they wrote a whole 2 paragraphs on me. You can check it out here

The Showroom and NYCC

This past weekend was New York Comic Con. It was super fun, I met some new people and saw a bunch of toy people and artists. We got to paint on the wall of the showroom. This was one of the first time i did 'live painting'. I felt a little rushed and worried that i had too much beer already, but i'm happy with how it came out. I think i'm going to bring back the skelecore.

New Flyer

So this show happened a couple weeks ago, but i forgot to post it....

I really wanted to give adam fink bitch tits, but i just couldn't fit it in the composition! The type could be a little better, but i'm all together pretty happy with how it came out.

Best Monday there ever was...

On new years i made a resolution to update this blog atleast once a week, but it seems i'm keeping my gym resolution better then my blogging resolution. WACKY! So I'm going to post like 3 posts tonite to catch up.

First! and this is a super big deal. I was mentioned in the NY Times Book review in Kidrobot's "I Am Plastic" review! You can read the article here! I Am Plastic is the book Kidrobot put out of all the vinyl toys out there today. My Debatable Beasts are in there. You can check out the book at www.kidrobot.com.

Chupacabra Dance Party!

Last weekend I took a trip to my favorite art supplier, NY Central Art Supplies. I picked up these Japanese pen nibs to try out, and wow are they great. They flow alot smoother then the hunt nibs i use.

I used them on my new Debatable Beast mini comics. I hope to finish them up this weekend. Heres a little preview of one panel.

Bodyworlds

Last weekend I checked out body worlds at the Boston Science Museum. I did a couple sketches. I really want a human brain to just sit around and draw. It was hard to draw brains while people were bumping into you. You just get lost in the folds.

New Paintings, I Am Plastic, and general life update

I have two new paintings up at the Aiden Savoy Gallery through December 9th. Its a really great show and for a good cause.


The Aiden Savoy Gallery is located at 175 Stanton Street, New York, NY
You can check out a review of 'A piece Apart' on CultureCatch.com

I've forgotten to mention that the debatable Beasts have a double page spread in Kidrobot's 'I Am Plastic'! (Also, I am not credited, but I did take some of the pictures in that book.) Its pretty awesome. You can pick up a copy at www.Kidrobot.com

...In other news: As you can see from my last post I was apartmentless and couch surfed for a month, but now I am happily settled in Greenpoint, which I love. I moved in with my friend, Mr. Bankshot! of Bankshot! Records, and I have a huge kitchen, tin ceilings, and a nice bodega grocery where I can get fresh perogis 24 hours a day.
So for the month of October, blame 'settling in' on the lack of updates, November I was just a little lazy, but December is here and I have made a resolution to update this blog at least once a week. I'm doing a big website update with all the new paintings and a lot of inked things that are not up there.
I'm working on a banner for this bloggy blog. Does anyone know of a good blog editor? The look of this blog is pretty boring.
Also I want to make some prints of something. I might just make something new or pick something recent. I'm thinking the rocket fingers piece would make a nice print. Any input is appreciated.
I'm working on some new mini comics!
I'm trying to buckle down and really produce some stuff so check back soon!

Goodnight, Surfs Up...

...So if I seem like i have disapeared in the next couple weeks its because i'll be couch surfing untill i can find a good apartment. yup it sucks. But you know, now i know, never move in with your boyfriend becuase its convient.
