Gonna get a little political, just for a minute, because it's important, damnit. The election is still months away, I realize, but the smallish faction of Bernie-or-Bust people out there being loud has gone too far, considering at this point they are going against their beloved Bernie. Look, I've been a great fan of Mr… Continue reading Attention Democrats, Progressives, Liberals!
Here is the latest in my "Don't See Don't Speak" (or the Red Hand of Shut It) series— something more topical in response to the tragic and avoidable events of last week. Please feel free to share this widely and repost (as is). Below are some progress scans of the pencilling. One again, I forgot to… Continue reading Silenced is not Equal: #BlackLivesMatter
This map, which I designed / illustrated for Pendergast in Amsterdam, went live on their website a week or two ago. I worked with them to articulate entryways to the neighborhood, highlighting routes for cyclists, cars and public transport. In the midst of designing, I traveled to Amsterdam. We held meetings. I went to the restaurant a… Continue reading Cartography of Amsterdam West
Here's a poster and wall banner I designed for South Brooklyn Shakespeare's first event in their salon reading series, to take place on November 1. ( La Dia de los Muertos, poor Yorick!) October has blustered in with a bitch slap, weather-wise, here in NYC. Prelude to Hurricane Joaquin. Not very nice, but that's autumn… Continue reading October snuck in
You may recall this poster I designed, which I posted here on April 20th. Well, I went to the party in question yesterday to watch the Derby, and Ray, who commissioned the poster mentioned that I ought to page through the current Time Out New York, as there was an ad for the Royalton which bore… Continue reading Sincerest form of flattery*
Here is the poster design / illustration I created for this year's Derby Party at Commonwealth bar in Brooklyn. Ray (the proprietor) has commissioned me a number of times for these; he started having these parties at the Great Lakes bar years ago. This year's design combines qualities of my two favorite posters from previous… Continue reading Design: Derby Day posters
As my travel plans have been postponed briefly, I’ve been going through some old backup DVDs in service to filling some holes in my ART ARCHIVE. It’s an unwieldy thing, a work in progress. The optical drive will likely go the way of cassette players and VCRs, so better to get this shit consolidated. I'll be posting old… Continue reading A Sunday afternoon with archives
A poster commissioned by Luff for their upcoming show at Union Hall in Brooklyn. They wanted something wintry yet warm, and though at first I was thinking of ice boats, my mind quickly jumped to the thought of ice skating on canals— so naturally I decided on an image of Amsterdam. I made both a daytime and nighttime version.
Back in September I completed a successful 30-day Kickstarter campaign to fund a 2015 card-calendar based on the signs of the Zodiac, re-imagined as heraldic house sigils (think Game of Thrones). I've received some lovely photos of the calendars in situ from some of my generous backers. Magnets are a great way to display each month,… Continue reading Photos from owners of the 2015 Zodiac calendars
I've been working on a new portfolio site for about a month now, and it's completed at last! It's got larger images and a much better system of navigation, and has a responsive layout so will look lovely on all the devices. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT! Go check it out here. Click all the… Continue reading A new web site for Electrofork!
