R.I.P. Little Guy

Hunca "Little Guy" Munca (2008- 2010)

Amble through Bramble

My good friend Morgan Levine will be on the Martha Stewart Show, Wednesday at 11am on NBC. She will be featured in two segments explaining how to fold crepe paper flowers.

Morgan's also set up an online store, Amble through Bramble, where you can buy her paper flowers (dipped in resin) as barrettes or brooches! She also has invited Emily L. Eibel and me to sell prints and original works in her Guest Exhibition section!

All of my signed ultrachrome prints are on archival Hahnemuhle Bamboo paper (5 x 7 inches) and inside clear archival sleeves.

WFoF Header

If you haven't had a chance to check out Welcome Friend or Foe recently, Emily has been redesigning the blog's look. Drew did the first header for the site and he set the bar high. Tomby followed suit and I decided it was time to join in on the fun.

The Oedipus Cycle

The Oedipus Cycle, The New Yorker, November 3, 2008

A couple of weeks ago, The New Yorker sent me to see The Oedipus Cycle at the Pearl Theatre. I attempted some life drawing during the play, but the theater was too dark to draw anything coherent. Fortunately, there was time during the intermissions to sketch out thumbnails. It was a great show- I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Update 10.28.08- Tomby and I are in the same issue!

Lost at E Minor

Ilana Kohn featured my work in her latest "Lost at E Minor" art column. Check it out here.

Laura Marling

"Laura Marling," The New Yorker, June 23, 2008

Here's a portrait of Laura Marling, an 18 year-old singer-songwriter from England. The third sketch was chosen but I was asked to give her the more up-to-date pixie haircut. Comparing that sketch with final looks a bit like hair salon's "before and after" shots.

Read "Young Folk" by Sasha Frere-Jones here.

Laura Marling- "New Romantic"

This week's issue of The New Yorker also features my pixelated pal, Tomby! Together again for the first time!

"Can Christie's sell a painting of Sotheby's?"

I'm sure we'll find out someday. Until then, enjoy "Sold," a new series of paintings by Charles Lutz.

Welcome Friend or Foe

Ilana, Em and I have started a blog with some of our fellow illustrators/ bar buddies. Ilana described the blog's statement of purpose as "sort of like back in art school when seeing your work up on the wall with everyone else made you want to try that much harder and gave you a bit of vital perspective to boot" and that sounds like a good goal to me.
It just kicked off yesterday so be on the lookout for upcoming art, news and discussion of the path in life we've chosen.
Welcome friend or foe!

Too much fun

New Ghostshrimp site!
