Migration

Once again the wonderful and talented SooJin Buzelli at Asset International hired me for a really exciting illustration. I don't really get to do animals very much, so this was all pretty ew to me. And it is always impossible to not be exhilarated to work with an adventurous AD with a nifty idea. Below is pretty much the full process, with the final being featured in the PLANADVISER 2009 buyer's guide.

Deer Tick

On Friday at the Bowery Ballroom I saw a great show by the Providence band Deer Tick. During my stay in Providence for 4 years while attending RISD there was a Deer Tick show almost every weekend at AS220. For me Deer Tick and their War Elephant album was basically my soundtrack for school, and it gave me warm fuzzy feeling to see them in New York at such a great venue.

The only negative part of the evening was me dropping my camera from the balcony, but miraculously it didn't hurt anybody and managed to survive. Despite it looking like an exploded view drawing I still was able to take a few pics.
