Must. Keep. Drawing.


New image for the main page on my website and business cards. Below is a pic that shows what the back of the cards look like and what I originally intended the front of the card to look like. Decided it was too much for a business card so I covered up all that smokey lookin' detail.


Made an image for the disc golf team, The Swamp Divers, to print on their paraphernalia. Below is a shot of my false start. Gotta pay attention.



I was listening to the Tom Waits album Real Gone the other day and as the track, Make it Rain was playing, I just started sketching out some of the lyrics. This was the one I liked the most.


Always liked this saying.

R.I.P. Dave Weaver

I got to know Dave and a bunch of other dudes from Buffalo around the time I was 17 and started going on weekend trips to skate up there. Dave was such a solid dude, always fun to be around and I can't think of one time he was being negative or bummin' anyone out. Unfortunately, I didn't see him too much in the last few years, but I will always cherish the time I did get to hang out and skate with him. Here's Dave doin' what he loved to do.




An interview Dave did while he was goin' through treatment:

Keep on Keepin' On


Tattoo ideas, but not for me. I've been tossing around the idea of starting to make some flash sheets from these and other sketches I have laying around. Always liked that South Park where Death is pursuing the kids and Stan's grandpa on a tricycle.

Richard Lewis



Kate Bush. Drew her a few times and always made her look older than she is in the photo.

Ray Davies


I just really liked the colors on Billy Crudup's face in this shot from the movie Jesus' Son

Scott Walker, from the cover of the documentary 30 Century Man



"Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals."



These last two are from a selection of notes I have that would probably be best titled as, "Weird Shit That Has Been Said to my Friends on The Streets of New York." I've encountered characters everywhere, but the ones in NYC really take the cake. The bottom one made me feel so gross while I was working on it. It was hilarious hearing the story, but drawing it was pretty rough. Luckily, I won't have to look at it much because I plan on giving these away to the people that have told me the stories.
