I never got to print this one... silk screening melt down... but if I had it would have looked something like this... maybe.

Here are some silk screened posters for Antler.Whew, what a summer!

I once thought I had a good idea...

and it went something like: oh, maybe I can make a flyer for Antler that's just one line that forms the name, the venue, the neighborhood, the date, a line from one of their songs and some geometric shapes...

and well, it didn't really turn out right. There's no time, no address.... and oh yeah, you can't read the damn thing! dang. Anyhow, what it's supposed to say in the darkest color is: Antler, Cafe Grumpy, June 17, Greenpoint... and the second darkest color says: one of these days I'm gonna make a change (which is a line from their song).

But dang, it just doesn't work as a poster. When I gave some to the folks at cafe grumpy, we immediately wrote the time and address on them (Sorry Chris and Caroline!). Whelp, at least I learned a valuable lesson. I forget what it was though.

it's a comic


































































pigma pen, November '06

Here's a comic from my first semester in James Sturm's Cartooning Studio at The Center For Cartoon Studies. We had to trade scripts, so this here was written by David Giarratana who then gave me the script to draw.

I don't know if I ever wanted to be a cloud when I was a kid. But then again I never went to see a mall santa... and there was never a voice over about my life... so maybe I just don't know what I've been talking about.

Either way, it was fun drawing someone else's script.

they are Killing Phantoms

Seriously, they are... they're also a band from NYC that I've been doing posters for...

There's the Bird girl and the Bear guy again. They're not in the band though, they're just killing phantoms - literally. I should take this opportunity to thank Killing Phantoms - Thanks Guys! You guys rock - literally, you do.

A Comic for Joe and Becca

I think Joe was going to do something with this, but I'm not sure if he ever did. Joe, what happened?

Oh wait, I remember. You ran out of toilet paper and needed something to use real quick. Nice. Thanks for that.
It's cool though. The Bird and The Bear characters I ended up using again - not as Joe and Becca though. Just wait and see.

I am sorry to say that they didn't actually make a quiche sandwich. I'm not sure why though, it sounds like a million dollar idea. Maybe I'll try making one after making a lasagna calzone.

Posters!

Well one poster. But not just any poster! This is the first poster I did for Antler, a band from NYC.

Dudes, I know, I know, yikes. It's not so great... at all. It even kind of sucks in its own way. But Antler was nice enough to let me continue working on gig posters for them. Some of which I even silk screened and will eventually post.

Oh yes, and Antler kicks.

A Totem

Here's one from way back in my sketchbook. And by way back I mean like October '06.

Love+Hate-Totem

I have a soft spot for totems, people, and I'm proud of it.
