Stash It

My roommate and his girlfriend run a quarterly magazine called HASH Magazine. I offered to make an illustration for an article on British singer Alice Russell but am admittedly not feeling too stupendous about it. Although the issue came out fantastic! (good job guys!) I feel like I could have worked on my piece longer or made it a little more interesting.
Guess Ill just have to stash it until next time.


The idea comes from Minnie Riperton's famous album cover of her holding a half-melted ice cream cone in overalls. Minnie "loooving you is easy cause you're beautiful" Riperton had a big influence on Alice Russell.

Free Work

After a long stretch of working full time/crashing my computer/falling off the face of the earth- a new post.
Here is a collection of free work. Meaning, failed freelance attempts and some crumby posters that made it to the front doors of my job. At least one made it to The Village Voice! But, like the ad itself, no ones showed up.

girls girls girls

Woops, the fixative sort of killed it. I lost all my light tones and was so pissed that I eventually convinced myself "it looks better now anyhow."
Added some white details to make it eerie in a paintings-from-a-haunted-mansion kinda way.

Next !

I'm starting to collect as many magazines as possible to start a number of collages based on a mixed digital signal.
luckily, i know a lot of people with crappy cable and was able to snap a few reference shots with my camera phone...

My Bottom Bitches

Ive decided to finish a picture thats been haunting my room the past four months.
The plan was to do a series of uncomfortable portraits;
these were some of the gems i was ambitious enough to start in august but never finish..



Expect a nice scanned version after Ive picked at it a little more and am able to successfully sneak into the Pratt classrooms.
For the most part its complete and my only regret is not making the girls slightly more skewed and grotesque. would have been charming.
