Last month mister Christopher Hand commissioned a drawing, loosely inspired by Neli Gaiman’s Delirium and Death. Let it be known that Sandman was the single most inspiring comic book of my youth. I didn’t really get into comics [or, at the time, singular “comic”] until I was 15. Gaiman’s use of Greek mythology resonated with me, as that happened to be some of my favorite reading material growing up. His use of alluring goths also appealed to my then-extra-black soul, …

I think I might be typing this from beyond the grave. Today I: Woke up, evaluated condition Realized I was, possibly, even more sick than yesterday [ sweet!] Found a way to cope by slumping over a desk, refusing to speak, and drawing from 9am to 2pm Made the best garlic mashed potatoes I’ve ever made. Coincidentally, the first time I ever made garlic mashed potatoes. Retreated back to bed, where we watched Inglorious Basterds That’s all I got. Except …

Presenting Honeydrip, completed just in time for the Haute Macabre exhibit. It’s a biggun, comparatively speaking – drawn on 17×22 Bristol board, then cut out mercilessly for scanning. This was initially meant to be a painting, but I got as far as two layers of paint before realizing it wasn’t at all what I wanted from the piece. A special, one-of-a-kind version of it is going in the show like this, instead. Honeydrip is a sort of follow-up to Nectar …

I’m down with a nasty cold, hopped up on Indian herbs, Genmaicha, and enough honey to drown in. Fairly sure most of my brain and body have shut down to give my drawing arm power. In fact, the arm is typing this entirely on its own. The sticky fruit of my labor, thus far. Not sure whether I’ll begin digitizing this today, as I’m being yelled at to “get the fuck in bed and get some sleep”.

Kicking of the month of Halloween in style with some GOODS! First up, The Centipede’s counterpart, revealed. I give you, Rachael, the melancholy raven-hared replicant. Created first with pencil and ink then digitally finessed, this sultry, deep fuchsia, 8.5×11 print is available for purchase right from this page for $29.99 Second, I present The Midnight Centipede. Much like the original Centipede but in shades of night. There are only six [Six! Six!] two of these left, they cost $29.99, and …

Disclaimer: just had to get this piece done. I can’t promise you I’ll be updating quite this often all the time so don’t yell at me later! If you would like to purchase an 8.5×11 print of The Centipede please email me – they’re $19.99 and I’m offering them on individual basis only, for now. Check out my store for more prints! The Centipede, ink+digital Here she is, finished. Really looking forward to seeing this printed and framed for the …

A friend of mine is hosting an annual art show – a group of friends making art on a given theme. This year’s theme is LA Noir. Got the Noir part down, still not sure about LA, however. In any event, here’s stage two of a little damsel and her trusty yet vicious centipede boa. Stage three will involve scanning and digitizing.

It’s been an intense “weekend” of camping at a hotel, shooting two models, dressing up [wore these], running downtown to the Hive for the reception [lovely surprise: ran into my mom and Q], finally eating, collapsing into hotel bed back in Hollywood, only to wake up at 7 to shoot again. Very tired, but I did have excellent French toast croissant at Grub with Ross and The D a few hours ago. Wee Micron peacefully slumbers at my feet, exhausted …
