  • South Street Spring Festival: The Epilogue

    I meant to post these a couple weeks back, but totally forgot!  The Festival was great, I had Froot, R2F!, P Nub, and Dash join me at Tattoed Mom’s tent. We sold a bunch of stuff, and got to meet a lot of people familiar with our work.  I’ll be putting the stuff I didn’t sell on Esty soon, so be…

  • South Street Spring Festival

    Next Saturday!  Tattooed Mom’s was gracious enough to let a couple of Philly artists and myself sell artwork at their booth at the South Street Spring festival.  We will have a rotating line up of artists all day including Sloth, Froot, Yerp, R2F!, P Nub and UWP (Possibly more!)  Free stickers for kids and adults, and don’t…

  • Skulls be Springin’

    It’s been a bit since I’ve last posted, but for good reason.  Time constraints have pushed the printmaking back, but I’d been sketching a lot which eventually turned into some paintings.       I’ve also been working on some stuff for a couple shows this summer. I’ll be showing with a couple great artists…

  • Shop Til You Drop

    I’ve updated my Etsy shop with a ton of new prints, etchings, drawings, and paintings!  I’ll be adding more in the coming weeks, as well as offering some special sales these coming weekends, so stay tuned!  

  • All Saint’s Day

    Friday, November 2nd was the opening for the All Saint’s Day show at 161 West.  I shared the space with the work of Mike Ellyson, which couldn’t have been a better match.  Our work, heavily influenced by religious symbolism and imagery, nicely complimented a day that celebrates All Saint’s Day as well as Day of the Dead.…

  • Miscellaneous Debris on Wood Panels

    Here are a couple of panels I’ve done within the last week.  I’ve been obsessed with painting on wood panels lately, and with the last good First Friday in Philadelphia coming up, I tried to get as much done as possible (Always waiting til the last-minute.)  I’ve tried to make them in a way in…

  • Iconography

    Various Icons on wood panels.  I started buying wood plaques for Free Art Fridays, since they tend to fare better in the outdoors (There was a tendency to rain after I put art out).  I started out with small 3 inch panels, and slowly moved up.  Some were done with a wood burning tools and…

  • Vexillology

    I was reading an article recently about city flags, which featured some unusual imagery.  At the suggestion of my fiance, I drew a couple that we found amusing. I’m still looking for more flags, and will soon start looking up interesting coat of arms to draw. Stay tuned for more.

  • Fun with Stickers III

    I recently picked some USPS labels and decided among other things to draw up some new dinosaurs.  It’s been a while since I’ve drawn some terrible lizards, and along with the state of the Postal Service right now, it seemed more fitting than ever.   Fun with Stickers II Fun with Stickers I
