please check out leah greenberg's blog for an awesome comic about god and cats. she hails from philadelphia--a senior at UARTS. we met at ICON 6 in LA.

no, really. go look.

BONJOUR! One of my paintings was picked for the "Mercer County Artists 2011" exhibition at The Gallery (located in Mercer County Community College). It's a juried show and there are prizes.

My painting, along with three others, is featured on the website for this event. The opening in this Wednesday. The college is by a movie theater and Uno's, so you could probably make a date out of it. There is also a taco bell.

I'm working on three new paintings, will post pictures tomorrow!

chi chi

happy new year!
this was a gift to a friend.

hello friends! recently i designed a t-shirt for a local radio station, WPRB. it's a student-run station in princeton, new jersey. they are having a membership drive this week, please pledge if you like my shirt or like local awesome radio. or both.

my friend and i both work at the same grocery store. we are fruit mold experts. heirloom grape tomatoes rot differently than larger heirloom tomatoes. nectarines, plums, and peaches all mold at different rates. lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits all turn to dark green penicillin dust. rotten sweet potatoes smell far worse than rotten russet potatoes. rotting salad smells like wet earth.

eventually i want to do a watercolor series on rotting produce without weirding out my co-workers.

give me liberty.

LIBERTY SPACE OPENING RECEPTION
tomorrow 6-9 pm
J. B Kline & Son Gallery
25 Bridge Street
Lambertville, New Jersey

I have three pieces up for this show. It all started with a tiny little facebook group, and now it is an actual SHOW in Lambertville. I'm pretty excited.

creepy rabbit.

for a local radio station's t-shirt competition.

ICON6 was great. very inspirational.

i drew this on the (paper) tablecloth
at a macaroni grill inside the chicago o'hare airport.

hello!

if you still read this, thank you for hanging on. i am still alive. i went to thailand in march for fun. it was incredible and i am sort of in the process of finding a way to go back for a longer amount of time. ideally northern thailand. also in the meantime i got cs4, which allows me to neatly crop and show you scans and pictures of my artwork again.

ANYWAY, a friend from work asked me to draw her a zombie eating brains for her valentine's day card. the front of the card said "i love you for your heart" and then the interior of the card has the zombie eating brains and on the opposite page: "AND YOUR BRAINS!".

i'm officially back in new jersey. my life is slowly being unpacked out of boxes. in the meantime, i've set up shop and have my very own studio in town, which is pretty fantastic.

i found this great piece of glass in the backyard of a factory in baltimore. one side is bumpy and the other is smooth.

hello blog, long time no update.
i am working on a big, awesome painting right now.
i will have a tiny, awesome painting in dime bag 3.
please come!

a week ago i got a ticket because i forgot to move my car.
a good opportunity to decorate.

i included these instructions with the ticket.

hello! if you're reading this because you saw my work at the pratt show, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. the four pieces from the show (and the work in my portfolio) are all for sale. i am currently accepting both personal and commercial commissions.

thanks to kayleigh for snapping this shot.
last tuesday was pratt institute's COMD survey.
that was my space.

tomorrow i put up a few pieces in manhattan for the pratt show, which opens may 12 and closes may 15th, 9AM-9PM each day. that link has more info but doesn't load quickly in firefox browsers. come out if you're nearby!

this week is going to be wild. really busy with school.

heard back from American Illustration;
"We are pleased to inform you that work you submitted to American Illustration 28 has been CHOSEN to appear on TRIBUTE our web gallery at ai-ap.com. While your image will not appear in the book, it was one of only 200 images from a record-breaking 8,100 submitted to receive at least 2 votes in the student category and is therefore eligible to appear permanently on our website - where over time illustrators build an online portfolio of their AI winning images and where creatives make direct contact with them."

i'm really happy. i'm also invited to the ai/ap 28 party in november. i volunteered at the last one and it was a blast. great food, free drinks, and incredibly talented people.

i will post the images they picked soon. for now, a piece i'm doing for my astronomy class based on an article in Scientific American: Let There Be Blobs. i was really attracted to the picture of the space blob:the blob is named Himiko, after an ancient Japanese queen. the scant information available on the queen is actually really interesting, but basically the blob holds a lot of possibilities for helping cosmologists and astronomers understand how various galaxies form, including our own. so i wanted to make the cluster of pixels to reflect our own universe by putting a face on it that also served as a reference to the queen Himiko.

i wish i painted the squares better.

still not done.

based on the article "Moses Was High on drugs..."
trading this painting with a friend, so it isn't for sale anymore.
