Any Occasion Shows the Best Way

Sketches from the Met’s Stein Exhibition What a crazy stretch this has been: embarking on a freelance career; MoCCA; Andrea finishing her first year at SVA; birthdays; and in a few days, my 10th-year high school reunion. I’m also thrilled to announce that I’ll have a piece in the upcoming issue of Moonshot Magazine, and [...]

Screened

Less Orange. Here’s the actual print of the Herriman piece. Gonna do some more on nice paper.  

Geo. Herriman

Here’s what my next screen print should look like—except less neon orange and more rust. I’ll try to update with a better version if I get a chance—or maybe I’ll just scan a finished print! From e. e. cummings’s 1946 tribute to Krazy Kat: …let’s make no mistake about Krazy. Her helplessness, as we have just [...]

First Screen print…

…since high school, at least. It’s for Sara Varon‘s awesome screen-printing class at SVA. The piece could be better, but I’m pretty happy with it for a start.      

3rd Ward Drink & Draw

Here are some drawings from a Drink and Draw at 3rd Ward that I attended with the extremely talented Demetrios Vital. Definitely a great place. If you are ever in the neighborhood, absolutely eat at Nam Nam, which manages to have bubble tea and banh mi that are both excellent.

For Andrea “Two Bombs” Tsurumi

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Please go cause some mayhem in the name of love.

A-Changin’

Dearest Fans, Detractors, and Passersby As you can see, it has been a while, and things have fallen into disrepair. I’m overhauling the site as quickly as I can. This area will soon be an actual blog, with a separate, Webcomic-plugin-powered section of the site to display comics-poems. It won’t be too much longer. Many [...]

The HoneySuckle Wall

Poems About Running First of the new collection. Poems primarily about running and probably plants.  

Kōjō No Tsuki

Formerly known as “Monk’s Japanese Folk Song” Here’s the third and last piece I’ll post from Circulating Drafts. There’s one more in the print edition, so if you feel like playing the patron, head on over to the Versequential Etsy page and consider picking one up.        

Studies

Running Engine Here are some studies for upcoming projects: stealing shamelessly from Andrea Tsurumi, I’m planning a series of 13 blackbirds. And the next bunch of comics-poems will be about running. Probably a whole chapbook of pieces about this. My continuing ed. class is over—thanks again to Sal Amendola for his wisdom. Now it’s time [...]
