Hard at work

The Christmas tree is still up? Man, we have been busy...

Go West

"Califone,” The New Yorker, January 23, 2012

As part of the NewYork guitar festival, Califone will perform a live soundtrack to the Buster Keaton's GO WEST.

Thanks, Jordan!

A few unused drawings of Black Star...

Black Star

"Black Star," The New Yorker, December 5, 2011

Mos Def and Talib Kweli formed Black Star in the late 90's as a response to gangsta rap. They are currently on tour and will be at New York's Best Buy theater on December 3rd.

Here they are performing "History":

 

Hey- Myrtle and Clermont! Good ol' Fort Greene.

I just read that Mos Def is changing his name to Yasiin. He'll always be Ford Prefect to me...

Thanks, Nicholas!

Gillian Welch

"Gillian Welch," The New Yorker, October 24, 2011

Here's my illo of singer-songwriter Gillian Welch for this week's New Yorker (along with some early sketches before I went in a "more Gillian / less cowboy hat" direction) and here's a song from her latest album, "The Harrow & The Harvest"—


She's performing at the Beacon Theater in New York on Saturday, October 22.

Thanks, Jordan!

House of Bamboo

"House of Bamboo," The New Yorker, August 29, 2011

Here's a quick one I did for Sam Fuller's House of Bamboo— "starring... Robert Ryan as the ruthless kingpin of Tokyo's post-war underworld!" Also included are some unused drawings from my sketchbook.

Thanks, as always, Jordan!

High Places

"High Places," The New Yorker, August 15, 2011

Above is an illo of High Places I did for the NYer. Also included is an alternate sketch and an early palette direction (I liked the looks of it but didn't think it would reproduce well).

This was an especially fun piece because Rob was my boss when I did workstudy at Pratt!

Thanks, Jordan and Nicholas!
