Exciting stuff over here; a few months ago Beatdom Books tapped me to create the cover for a wonderful chapbook entitled 'Off The Road and Over The Cukoo's Nest: A Literary History Of The American Counter Culture', by Mickey Harper. It is now available to purchase through Amazon.com. Click the link to check it out!

I am very happy to announce that I am part of the 2017 Altered Barbie Show in San Francisco, CA! 

Altered Barbie is an annual art show centered around the concept of Barbie, where artists contribute pieces that can be satirical, political, or otherwise, in whatever medium they choose, and has been active since 2003.

My contribution this year is the cartoon seen below, a meditation on Barbie and how she plays into modern ideas of feminism. 

The best part is that if you live in the bay area, you can go and see this drawing up close and personal, hanging in the Altered Barbie Gallery in San Francisco's Mission District! See below for more details. 

As well, all of the art at Altered Barbie is for sale; pieces can be purchased through the official Altered Barbie Website: http://alteredbarbie.com/artwork/exhibition

If you want to visit the gallery, it is located at:

This is cool; after Frownland went viral over at Boredpanda.com, some youtube company made a video of the gallery! Check it out:



However, I suggest muting it and playing this song instead:

Remember back in July when you voted on which Frownland you'd like to see in color?
Well here is the 2nd place winner in all it's glory.

A behind the scenes picture showing concept sketches and the finished drawing for a recent Frownland. I think the addition of a beanie really tied the room together.

Happy Birthday Frownland!

'Frownland' is two years old as of today! Here is the very first one I ever drew, posted on this date back in 2015. May or may not be based on an actual encounter.

Here's a behind the scenes glimpse at one of my favorite Frownlands.

Here is a Frownland from back in February, but now in full color. Enjoy!
