Bodega Still Life

One of the great things about living in Brooklyn is undoubtedly the amazing variety of late night foods. On almost every street bodegas and corner stores pump out ridiculously cheap eats 24 hours a day, fueling the drinkers and insomniac illustrators alike. The little drawing below is my tribute to the terrible lifestyle these grease filled havens lead us too.

For anyone interested, the sandwich pictured is the "The Bomber" a pastrami filled wonder available at M&S Mini Mart located at 711 Manhattan Avenue for $4.50

Studio Shots

Hey guys and gals, I just wanted to post some pictures of my studio and show off my ridiculously great new computer. The screen is about 3 times the size of my old one, plus this thing is so fast I can run the entire adobe creative suite simultaneously. No more slow loading of files, no more five minutes to save an image, no more freezing. Basically its awesome, and it is allowing me to get more work done faster, so come back soon for a bountiful bevy of new images.

Art Directors Club : December Editions

Just attended the opening (tasty hors d'oeuvres btw) of the nifty December Editions show at the Art Directors Club, and I want to encourage everyone to head on over to see some beautiful work by Andrio Abero, Paul Pope, Chris Rubino, and Paula Scher So, be sure to get there sometime before the 23rd, when it will be gone forever.

Thanks RISD

Thanks again to Chris Buzelli for inviting me up to Providence to give a fun little lecture/slide show to his Editorial Illustration Class. I had a great time and left RISD really energized by his kids. It is hard to believe that only about a year and half ago I was sitting in that same classroom in exactly the same situation as Chris' students. Since my graduation time has flown by in that surreal cliche way people are always talking about. Its been great so far, but speaking to his students has been a highlight. If any of them are reading this, and have any further questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me.
