la weekly

i was pretty excited when jason jones from la weekly approved this one.


i hope i get to do more stuff like this in the future.

cd cover

i mentioned this in a previous post, but i thought i'd post an image of the actual cd and vinyl cover with my painting from the band AS TALL AS LIONS. i was fortunate to have my copy signed by the band...
the cd also comes with a poster inside.
i was really excited to see the album at amoeba, so i posted a pic of that too.

tshirts

i just saw that some tshirts i designed for a skate company awhile back are available for purchase.
the shirts and link are below:

album cover/village voice

i've posted the top image before, but i never mentioned what it was for. since the album is coming out next week, i can reveal that it is an album cover for the band AS TALL AS LIONS. i'm pretty excited to have my first album cover. a special thanks go out to sherri, blaze, and of course the band!
you can check out the band at: astallaslions.com.

short

this blog will be pretty short. i don't have much time to post all the cool stuff about comic con, so i'll just make this post to tell you that i will be posting stuff about leftover zines, prints, and pics from con.

for now, i'm posting this piece i did while at comic con.

it is available.
contact me if interested.

i'll see you in SD.

i'm just about to leave for san diego comic con. hopefully i'll get to meet some of you out there.

i'll be at the table with good friends tom haubrick and eric davison for our third year.

look for us at table : F1

see you there!

cult

as mentioned in my previous post, these are my two pieces that i did for the "crazy for cult" show at gallery 1988.

year 3

if you're in the L.A. area, and you don't know about this show, you should definitely check it out. the shows at 1988 are always pretty fun, and this one promises not to disappoint. as always with their shows, arrive early just in case there is a line.
i've been pretty busy as of lately trying to get ready for comic con.this will be my third year as an exhibitor, and i'm just as excited. i'll be selling prints and other stuff while down there. i hope to meet some of you there.
i'll make sure to mention my table number before the con so you can find me if youre going.
if you are in san diego for the con, this show is going on in the area.check it out.

i'll post pics of the art from both of these shows in upcoming blogs.

stay tuned!

before i forget...

this is a cool show that is not to be missed. it was put together by my friend christina conway. i was in her first kokeshi show a while back, and i'm glad she asked me again. there's a great lineup of artists that are involved this time. there is no opening for this show (aside from a private opening), but you can check it out by stopping in at the japanese american national museum in downtown L.A. (janm.org for more info). check out the artist lineup below...

and my kokeshi:

comic.

i was asked by jason jones at LA WEEKLY to come up with a comic for the upcoming issue. my only guideline was that it had to do something with Los Angeles. this is what i came up with.


i had fun doing this, so i hope i get another opportunity.

knights and hunters

these are the pieces i had in the show "knights and hunters" at black maria gallery.

la weekly, and upcoming stuff.

this is a full page piece i just did for the current issue of la weekly.the piece ended up running in greyscale, but i thought i'd post it in full color.

i'm in a few group shows coming up.this is one that is coming up pretty soon. it's at black maria gallery on june 13, 7-10pm. check out blackmariagallery.com for more info.



i have a few projects i'm working on aside from this, including (hopefully) something for this years comic con which is getting dangerously close. i'll post more info on that stuff as it comes closer.
