Last week I bought a very cool 3-d silkscreened book from Dernier Cri. It’s possibly the first time I’ve seen stereoscopic images that “work”. By the way, by stereoscopic I’m referring to images that need to be seen with red/blue lens glasses. So I bought the book to figure out how it was made. Below, … Read More

Desert Island Comic Zine Party Part 2
This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to show and sell my work at the Whitney Museum as part of the “Desert Island Comic Zine Party”. Other artists showing their work included: Jungyeon Roh, Noah Lyon, Chris Uphues, Partyka Collective, Jen Tong, Sto, and Chris Patch. I never signed my name as much as I … Read More
New York Comic-con
Went to my very first comic-con last Friday. Although I’m a big anime / manga geek, I’ve never been to a convention because it looked intimidating with all the people dressed up as characters. I decided to give it a go this year for two reasons: first I found out some artists I like would … Read More
Gumbo Limbo mini comic
This piece was inspired from a dream I had in which gigantic alligators were fighting each other. I thought gigantic alligators would make a really really cool visual. So I made this 16 page comic about a field trip to the Everglades gone wrong. There are no words, just pictures. Also, this comic has a … Read More
Man vs. wild foldout poster
This piece is inspired from a piece I have created by Tomi Um, an illustrator I met at SVA a couple of years ago. I really like the concept behind the piece, that as you unfold it a new image reveals itself furthering the story. So this is my piece in response to that. Also, … Read More
Desert Island Comic Zine Party
I’ll be showing / selling my work at the Whitney Museum on October 15 as part of the “Desert Island Comic Zine Party”. Don’t really know what to expect since, I believe, this is the first comic theme event the Whitney has had.

The author of the blog is Hans Bacher, an animation production artist. He actually has a book out called Dream Worlds. Anyway, the site catalogs visual references, … Read More
Society of Illustrators Sketch night
I’d been meaning to go to the Society of Illustrators figure drawing sessions. Somebody had told me the sessions were like parties, and I wanted to see it for myself. I finally went on Thursday night, and it was by far the most upscale drawing session I’ve ever been to. Instead of being held in … Read More
Flipbook project
My new project, which I hope to finish by October (doesn’t seem likely at this point, but maybe I can pull a miracle) is a flipbook. I’ve always wanted to do animation, but never studied it in depth. I’ve done about three very short hand drawn animations before, but this is the first one where … Read More
Portraits
My portraiture class ended two weeks ago, so here are some of the drawings I did for it. I think I’ve gotten better at drawing likenesses, but I still need practice. One of the portraits in the line-up is of an imaginary person, but I won’t say who.
