10x10 Project - New Print with Spudnik Press & Homeroom Chicago.

This is a 3-color screenprint I made for a project entitled, 10x10, put together by Spudnik Press and Homeroom Chicago.  10 artists based prints off of 10 selected music acts' songs - all from Chicago.  I made this based off of a song by my good friend Keith Helt's new project, "Sky Event."  The pre-order of this suite of prints and 10 recorded tracks is only a mere $20 until mid December and $30 afterwords.  Here is more info on the project (artists and music acts) and how you may order this awesome package.

"There Will Come Soft Rains" Concept Art.

This is a concept drawing I did for a project.  It's for Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains" and shows robotic "mice" vacuuming in vain as the house is burning down.  Read more about the short story here.

New Illustration.

This is an illustration I did for Columbia College's Encyclopedia Show.  It's a wrap-around cover for their program publication.

Lithograph - "Workman's Comp"

 (click for larger version)
"Workman's Comp" is a lithograph printed by the awesome folks over at Anchor Graphics, 2010.  Although this is my first lithograph, I really only did the drawing on the stone and the rest was taken care of by Chris Flynn over at Anchor.  It is a (very) limited edition of 20 and is for sale through Anchor Graphics and myself.  It measures at 19.25" x 15" and is printed on an off-white paper.

New Drawing.

Spontaneous Human Combustion.  Acupuncture.  Healing Crystals.  This is a new drawing of a man skewered.

"Framed: The World of Comics"

This is the awesome poster Andy Burkholder did for the comics exhibit at Columbia College called, "Framed: The World of Comics."  The exhibit ran from November 2009 till Februrary 2010.  It featured his work along with numerous other hidden talents at Columbia.  I exhibited the originals I did for Hotwire Comics #3 (Published by Fantagraphics Books).

I was also interviewed by the Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism along with Ivan Brunetti who co-curated the exhibit.  Go and check out the video interview/news story on it here.  There's also an video interview on the Columbia site with the main curator, Justin Witte.  Check it out here.

I've Got Balls... I've Drawn On.

These are the ping pong balls I drew on for Nick Black's project last summer for a Hyde Park Art Center festival.  There were several other artists that did the same for his ping pong blower he built (see below).  The blower worked on a compressor with a kiddie pool for the base complete with strobe lights and openings for folks to catch the balls as they flew around.  

 

"The Folio Club" Issue No. 1

The is the wrap-around cover I did for Robert Pranzatelli's literary/art book series, "The Folio Club."  He also featured seven of my drawings from Claptrap #2 in it.  Here's a review for it from Fine Books & Collections.  Robert also wrote a nice entry on his blog about my drawings.  You can purchase the book through Amazon here.

"Onholder"

This is a comic that my friend and fellow cartoonist, Andy Burkholder drew after I doodled a character in the first panel.  You should really go check out his stuff.
