Inspired October

October is finally here! And with it inspiration. I suppose that’s what’s happening. I’ve assembled my Zombie Uprising “Nativity Scene for Halloween” on the mantel and’ve been feeling very fruitful since. I’ve got one big project in the works, which I’m still holding off on revealing completely for fear of some jinx or something. Gimme another month or so. 

Zombie Uprising Halloween Display “A Nativity Scene for Halloween”
John Prine

I’ve just returned from Book Nook & Java Shop in Whitehall having supplied them with several more framed pieces, and still they want more!
I stopped in to replenish the Star Wars Best Friends piece when I overheard one of the employees telling somebody, “The artist is here now! You can ask him.”
This gentleman was eyeing my John Prine with his phone in hand.
“My wife is asking me to make sure you’re the artist, and that it’s signed before I buy it.” Then he aimed his phone at me. “You’re the guy who made theeeese?” with images of my Jesus Dressups on his screen.
“That’s me alright!”
And he left with the signed John Prine.
It was one of the sparks that ignited all this. 

Also, just completed this portrait of my darling friend and barista, Annie. 
Here’s all of what I’ve been talking about.
So stop on by, get an art, and show some Jesus Dressups on your phone to people.

New Project?

Again, it’s been more than a month since the last update. I get it. I have a responsibility to show you that I’m not only taking your orders, but shipping them out as well. Often even same day! This week, surprisingly, I’m getting more orders for the Final Justice version. If you happen to know the reason (did someone else sing a song about them?) please lemme know! Until then, I’m drawing every day. 

11 year old Bjork

I’ve attempted several times to draw Bjork. I’m still a bit taken aback when I say her name to people around here how often I get a confused face responding “Who?”
She was so SO huge 25 years ago! Each time however when I tried to sketch her it just didn’t capture what I wanted to catch. Then I saw a photo of her online when she was 11 years old, and it had a comment underneath declaring, “Eleven year old Bjork looks more like Bjork than Bjork.” And depending on how well you know of Bjork you understand. So here’s 11 year old Bjork.

I’ve also been working on a much bigger project. One that’s been in the back of my brain for over 35 years! Something that, depending on how long you’ve known me, or what level of Normal-Bob-nerd-dom you’re at, maybe you could even figure out what that project is exactly. And there are some who’ll be SHOCKED when it’s finally revealed. It’ll all be told next month sometime, probably.
But until then, here’s the only hint you get. 
Stay tuned!

Mailing it framed

Skate Dweeb

It’s insane that it’s been almost 3 months since I’ve posted. Outrageous. You all deserve better. But nothin’s goin on! Life’s slower. I’m getting used to it. One new thing however- I’m getting more comfortable with shipping framed pieces. I prefer it so much, being able to matte and frame my art rather than sending a rolled up print that’s likely to be stapled to a wall.

If you see a piece of mine you’d like framed (11” X 14” is ideal) email me! I’m happy to ship. I’ve been making custom boxes to fit, and the art is picture perfect. So lemme know. I’ll quote you a reasonable price. I just really like knowing my stuff is on someone’s wall somewhere out there.

Here’s some of my favorite latest.

Happy belated Easter

I’m back again for my bi-monthly update to prove I still exist. Btw, did you know that bi-monthly can mean both every other month OR twice a month? I just found that out. Anyhow, they say you should do something consistently for 2 months to make it a habit. It took me ten years, but I’ve now thoroughly ingrained this drawing habit into my will. I can even draw through the anxiety inducing chaos all around, my unsilenceable brain (which I’m considering getting a restraining order against), plowing straight through my newsfeed of which I can’t seem to turn my face from.
Just keep on drawing. It’s survival mode.
How’re you?
How was your Easter?
Need magnets? I got ’em!

Had a nightmare the other night that he was coming after me with with a group of ICE agents. He had his long red tie stretched out between his fists coming for my throat, yelling, “I heard what you think about me! You’re NEXT!”
I woke in a startle, and didn’t go back to sleep. Ever.
Here’s a few of my latest.
