Sometimes I refine my original rough sketches because it's fun!

Here's the poster I designed for Death Cab's upcoming tour. It will also be used on shirts and below are baseball cards that will be available at their concerts. I was approached with this project after they played in Philly and saw the card I designed for that specific show. Thanks to Joe at Zeitgeist for being great to work with and Ben for liking the original card enough to want me to reproduce a bigger version!

I recently completed a fun job for AEG Live and The Mann Center in Philadelphia, PA. Jon Hampton from AEG Live came up with an idea to have me illustrate and design the fronts and backs of baseball cards to be distributed as free gifts to the fans at each concert. Each card was a tribute to popular baseball cards from the past and each back contains a blurb and cartoon about the musician. I seriously got to draw some of my favorite musicians. It also led to a job designing a tour poster for Death Cab for Cutie that I will post shortly. There are 18 cards total and at least 6,000 were distributed at each concert. Thanks again to Jon and Jen at AEG for another fun and crazy busy summer.

See them this November...

Here's my contribution to the Jackets and Sleeves art show at Atomic Books in Hampden on Oct. 7th. I picked Fight Club. I might change a couple things but this is the main idea.

Thanks to everyone who came out over the weekend to support "Hairy Baltimore" the book I curated with Jim Lucio and contributed art to. It was really well received and all the illustrators did great work! Here are 2 drawings I did at our table during the fest to demonstrate how I draw and ink hair.

I was recently contacted to illustrate 8 portraits for ESPN's Scale 1 to 10 page. Thanks to Art Director Munehito Sawada for the fun assignment that kept me too busy to worry about hurricane Irene.

Quick cover illo for this week's Baltimore City Paper. 5 democratic candidates in the primary to run for Mayor.

Here's a sneak peak at just a 4th of what will be on the TV on the Radio baseball card for The Mann show coming up.

Canadians! Get your Kokanee today and see my art on the cans. It might be more available on the west coast but maybe they have some in Toronto too. Speaking of Toronto, thanks to Grip Limited for being awesome to work with from start to finish. You all are great at what you do and I appreciate getting to work on this with you.

I went to the protest at the White House yesterday and sketched a lot of the scene there. Here are some of the sketches and a finished illustration relating to one of the protesters. alternate color .

A new project for the Baltimore Book Festival. More info to come......
