Recent Bits and Pieces

Some of my favorite ADs assigned these: José, Claudia, David, Aaron and James.

Always wanted to draw Tom Waits... and Charo!

Thanks to Kelly for this quick Tom Waits portrait, and to Justin for the Charo spot! Sorry for not posting for a long while, but the promotional exercises surrounding the first LIGHT CHILDREN book have kept me extremely busy, along with editorial jobs that I will post soon. Thanks to everybody that has already ordered a copy of the book, by the way! Every copy we sell makes us feel like we have created something very special. Self-publishing is really difficult, but the rewards are greater when you receive emails from satisfied readers!

Promo for a Great Graphic Novel: Midnight Sun

Go pick up a copy of Midnight Sun by fellow NC pro Ben Towle - it is a fantastic historical fiction graphic novel.

Light Children Books are Printed!

What a treat to receive these on my doorstep this morning. We will be selling these at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte (BOOTH 633) at a special price of only $10! Come on by and get a signed copy and pick up a free poster with your book. Books will be on sale next week on the website, as well. Thanks to all for the support on this project - it's a great feeling to flip through the pages and I'm ready to get cracking on the second book now.

Thanks to MB, Claudia, and Alex for these fun pieces.

Big thanks to Brian and Kim for getting me on the grey pages! This was for a story about helping prisoners re-enter society (read it here).

The New Yorker, The LA Times

Big thanks to Mr. B at The New Yorker and Derek at the Times for some excellent assignments. Derek gave me a chance to do the Business cover and I had a blast (attached below). I'll post the NYer piece when the issue hits stands.

The Kills and new merch

After finishing this portrait of 'The Kills' for Aaron at The Stranger, I decided it might look good on merch! So, check out the store and see what you think.

Fresh Art for Monday!

Kimberley, Jose, and Aaron gave me some fun jobs last week - thanks! Maybe the winter weather made me use so much blue in these drawings.
