In
2010, my friend Melissa opened The Clipper Ship Tea Company, a tea shop
in our hometown of Northport, New York. Soon thereafter, we
serendipitously started a collaboration of artwork and tea with the <em>Teatime with Animals</em>
series. Each illustration I create will feature one animal famously
indigenous to a tea growing country, and Melissa will blend a tea to
pair with my image, based on the country and the colors/vibe of my art.
Below are the first 3 (0f 8) Elephant's Teacup, Tiger's Chai and Snow
Monkey Tea. More to come!</div>

In
John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live, actor/wrestler Roddy Piper plays a
character called Nada, a homeless migrant worker in a
right-around-the-bend America where shit really sucks. He stumbles upon a
special pair of sunglasses a local church/rebellion HQ that, while
wearing, turns the world back and white and allows him to see that
ordinary looking people are in fact, skeleton-faced, alien invaders!
Subliminal messages in bold arial fonts are also revealed on billboards
and magazines, citing such messages as OBEY, WATCH TV, CONSUME and
SLEEP. It's a fun movie, classic 80s Carpenter, that has achieve cult
status over the years, in part for the premise, and two scenes in
particular - the bubblegum shotgun scene and the Alley Fight.</div>

I
had a lot of fun creating this image and a breakthrough of sorts. After
years of primarily using only digital for the final result, I went back
to my roots and created Gandalf and all of the linework in traditional
pencil. I think the result is more intimate and gritty, and exciting for
me as an artist, hopefully you as a viewer as well. You can really get
up in there! The background is digitally colored with traditional
watercolors accents. Will keep experimenting this way, feel like it has
lots of potential, and ultimately makes my work for "me".</div>

I recently teamed up with <a href="http://futbolartistnetwork.com/" style="color: #1769ff;" target="_blank">Futbol Artist Network</a>'s Creative Director (& illustrator extraordinaire!) <a href="http://iamdany.com/" style="color: #1769ff;" target="_blank">Daniel Nyari</a> to produce artwork for the television show, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU9BpyCd7ZY&app=desktop" style="color: #1769ff;" target="_blank">MLS Insider</a>. Produced by Emmy Award-winner Jonathan Hock, the ground-breaking series moves to a new outlet -- <a href="https://twitter.com/KICKTV" style="color: #1769ff;" target="_blank">KICKTV</a>
-- and continues to take fans behind the scenes of the MLS world
returning with a second season of in-depth features, personal profiles,
and culturally relevant videos. FAN will use a series of artists to
produce a new art piece to correspond with each week's new show.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This week's theme was Destroy & Create featuring Team USA's
dynamic duo Michael Bradley of Toronto FC & Real Salt Lake's Kyle
Beckerman. Hats off to Daniel for coming up with the perfect concept,
the playing card, highlighting the fact that they compliment each other
very well in both the destroy & create roles while sharing the
midfield. Their intelligent play makes the two central midfielders
strong candidates to represent the U.S. Men's National Team in Brazil
this summer. MLS Insider provides a deep dive into the athleticism,
acumen and artistry that each brings to the field.</div>

<div>
<div>
When I was first asked to create a print for the <a data-mce-href="http://www.geekartstore.bigcartel.com/category/geek-generation" href="http://www.geekartstore.bigcartel.com/category/geek-generation" target="_blank">Generation Geek</a> gallery show in Bourges, France for <a data-mce-href="http://www.geek-art.net/" href="http://www.geek-art.net/" target="_blank">Geek-Art</a>,
I was surprisingly stumped. Not because I couldn't think of what to
do, but because there were too many options. The theme was Geek History
from the past to the present, a pretty open topic, so... where to
start?! My initial thought was to involve Godzilla. Then I decided to
draw just a few more of my favorite characters from science fiction and
fantasy from the last century; from books, comic books, cartoons,
movies, video games etc. - the ones that inspired and wowed me from
childhood to today. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
You know, just a few.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Then it got personal. What
happened next was this, a print depicting my own geek history, my ODE to
GEEK. Limited edition print, size ranges from approx 16x24" (40x60cm)
to 28x40" (70x100cm), available only through Geek-Art.</div>

exhibition of the year, invading Los Angeles on Friday, October 11th,

I created these for the 3NES group show at the Bottleneck gallery.
3NES is a group art show organized by illustrator Chogrin at Bottleneck
Gallery in Brooklyn featuring a variety of artwork honoring three of
Nintendo’s most popular video games (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of
Zelda, and Metroid). I am super excited to be part of this show. I grew
up playing these games like a fiend, and had such a blast bringing
these prints to life. They are available as 13×19″ limited edition (85)
giclée print, 300 gsm, archival inks.</div>

importantly, he's in the Empire business. Here's to hoping he has a

Well,
BIG NEWS! My new book is officially out today, July18th. It's called
Should This Octopus Have Fewer Legs? published by Adams Media. I worked
on it last year for about 3 months and somehow managed to keep it all a
secret. No longer, beans shall be spilled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's
a collection of funny, fake "take one" street flyers, meant to be
ripped out and posted up. You've probably seen flyers like these on the
web here and there, maybe you've stumbled onto one or two out on the
street. I have a couple times, they're like these little gems that
always made me laugh, made my day. My editor Halli Melnitsky and Adams
Media had the brilliant idea of creating a compilation book spotlighting
this type of street phenomenon, and asked me to make it! We
brainstormed a ton of ideas and went with the best ones, it was a great,
fun collaboration. What's really cool is that not only did I do all
the artwork, I designed every page, fonts and all, except the cover
which was designed by Elisabeth Lariviere.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In
this book you’ll find all sorts of madness - homages to your favorite
movies, off-the-wall pop culture references, pun-tastic plays on words
and straight-up redonkulous notices, plus a couple takes on the
classics. All in all, it's a sure fire way to perk up your room or any
telephone pole, community bulletin board, or bus stop in your hood - one
sign at a time.</div>

Extra
HUGE special thanks to my editor, Halli Melnitsky, who brought me in on
this book and was absolutely wonderful to work with, and to all the
good folks at Adams Media. Also, a big, fat thank you to NY TImes
bestselling author <a data-mce-href="http://1000awesomethings.com/" href="http://1000awesomethings.com/" target="_blank">Neil Pasricha</a> and the SOI gold medal winning, illustrator extraordinaire <a data-mce-href="http://www.aaronmeshon.com/en/" href="http://www.aaronmeshon.com/en/" target="_blank">Aaron Meshon</a> for their fantastic blurbs!</div>

"Should
this octopus have fewer legs? That's debatable. But one thing I know
for sure is that this book should have infinity pages. What a fun way
to spend an afternoon!" - Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling
author of <a data-mce-href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0425238903" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0425238903" target="_blank">The Book of Awesome </a></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center;">
In
an age of apps, multi-touch, and glossy screens, "Should this Octopus
have fewer legs?" is a welcomed excercise in humor, awesome
illustrations, and a certain nostalgia. Thanks Mr. McQuade, for making
me laugh out loud, partake in some performance art, and unplug! -

I was recently part of the <a data-mce-href="http://www.bottleneckgallery.com/" href="http://www.bottleneckgallery.com/" target="_blank">Bottleneck Gallery's</a>
Where is My Mind? show. I chose to honor a King of my childhood, the
incomparable Ray Harryhausen. Even though his movies came out before my
time, his monsters & creatures really struck a chord with me,
especially his Sinbad Trilogy (Seventh, Golden, Eye of the Tiger) and
the original Clash of the Titans of course. They were on a permanent
VHS loop in my house growing up. I had planned on doing 6 or so
portraits of his creations, but in the the end, a time crunch narrowed
it to 2, hopefully i'll get around to the rest later this year. Here are
my favs, Cyclops and Medusa.</div>

the side of good when the sugar honey ice tea hits the fan, I think…

Whenever
I watch Jaws I am always struck by how dope Quint's sideburns are. He
really rocks the stuffing out of them. Always made me think of another
famous fictional fella with killer burns - Wolverine! So I thought what
if Quint was actually a mutant, had a healing factor and an adamantium
skeleton with killer claws. He'd slash his way out Jaw's belly, emerged
from the blood reborn, ready to take the high seas by storm. I designed
it as a comic book cover, an homage to Wolverine #1. At last - in his
own monthly series!</div>

I recently created a limited edition 16×24″ print for Gauntlet Gallery’s Daft Punk show <i>ReDiscovery</i>. Two prints actually, <i>Futuro Punkaris Monumentus – “Sun” & “Moon”</i>,
depicting a future society where a gigantic monument has been created
in tribute to Daft Punk. People, animals & aliens gather from all
around to get down! Even Pikachu, Micheal Jackson, Rooney Fruits the
Angel Dancer and a pink elephant from Dumbo joined the fray. In all
there are 74 dancers. Nearly broke my mind completing this so I hope you
enjoy the festivities. Here’s a rough breakdown of all the characters –
3 lizards (plus 1 lizard man), 4 cats, my lovely wife (3x), my cute dog
Football, 1 polar bear, 5 mice, 1 Gnisha, 5 monkeys (gibbon, spider,
orangutan…), 2 rabbits, 27 ladies (including a 4 armed blue skinned
gal), 22 fellas, 2 babies, 1 Pokémon, and a partridge in a pear tree.
The gentlemen behind the helmets, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo
& Thomas Bangalter, are even in there. This was an absolute beast
to do, but once I started I just had to complete the vision. Below are a
bunch of detail shots.</div>

Step Brothers is a classic. Yeah, it's
dumb and juvenile but for me it's a friggin masterpiece. When I was
approached by The Bottleneck Gallery to be in their "I Love You man"
show about bromances, it didn't take me long to think of that film. The
image is inspired by the dialogue from when Dale & Brennen first
meet. The exchange "Call me Dragon" "Call Me Nighthawk". I imagined them
flying high in the sky, riding atop mighty beasts, screaming their nuts
off. I especially pumped to draw a dragon for the first time in years,
been too long , look for more soon - one of the main reason why I did
this piece. Had a blast bringing it to life, enjoy!</div>

When <a href="http://www.torontolife.com/" target="_blank">Toronto Life</a>'s AD Bradley Reinhardt asked me to illustrate a
series featuring their city's Mayor Rob Ford at work on his North
American Tour, I nearly jumped out of my shoes! Mr. Ford is such an
amazing leader and a wonderful guy. Toronto, NAY, the world, is lucky to
have him. Let's follow him on his adventures...</div>

about him as well. Check it out denizens of Toronto, unless you actually
support him... it may prove bothersome to say the least.</div>

Chocolate Chips & Rocket Ships<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: center;">
I recently did an illustration for the upcoming book of <a data-mce-href="http://chocolatechipsandrocketships.com/" href="http://chocolatechipsandrocketships.com/">99 and 1/2 poems for kids</a>
called "Chocolate Chips & Rocket Ships" by John O'Marra. Looking to
do more fantasy/kids book work in the future so this was perfect. The
poem I illustrated is called CRUNCH! about a monster that eats, well,
everything...<br />

I am a huge fan of Mad Men and Game of Thrones, making Sunday night must-see TV in my household. My wife and I watch both shows back to back and I guess they merged subliminally in my head until I had no choice but to visualize it. Don Stark must protect Manhattan's Landing from all invaders! </div>

Recently did an illustration for an article on Grantland about the Betair (Israeli Premier League) soccer team's ongoing struggles to successfully integrate non-Jewish players, specifically two Muslim players from Chechnya, with a small but vocal faction of their fan base called La Familia, a proudly racist group who wants their team "pure". In the past, ownership has bowed to these angry voices and traded those non-Jewish players away. The banner in the illustration reads "Beitar Forever Pure". It is held up and displayed during games when they play. However, recently ownership has held firm to the idea that religion of the soccer field doesn't matter and have withstood a barrage of pressure, ending the season without a trade.</div>

Got a bunch of Big Lebowski character illustrations in this week's
issue of LA Weekly - Maude, The Dude and "Shut the F up, Donnie" Walter.
There's a big article on the movie and these are each individually
spots interspersed throughout the article at about 6 inches high I
hear. Cant wait to check out the article, I'm a big fan of the movie,
saw it like a pachillion times when I was younger. Hadn't in a while
though leading up to this, so I watched it again. It's a tough job, this
art thing, sometimes. Used my camera to take pictures of paused shots
in the tv, then in combination with other reference and such, created
these. Went with a biblical vibe with The Dude, robes flowing.
Wanted to partly show Walter's briefly seen sensitive side, hence the
"pomeranian". And for Maude, I just wanted to show off her - amen -
wardrobe.<a data-mce-href="http://illoconfidential.com/2013/03/07/pj-mcquade-la-weekly-the-big-lebowski/the-big-lebowski-illustration-spots-la-weekly-pj-mcquade/" href="http://illoconfidential.com/2013/03/07/pj-mcquade-la-weekly-the-big-lebowski/the-big-lebowski-illustration-spots-la-weekly-pj-mcquade/" rel="attachment wp-att-4739"><img alt="The-Big-Lebowski-Illustration-Spots-LA-Weekly-PJ-McQuade" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4739" data-mce-src="http://illoconfidential.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/the-big-lebowski-illustration-spots-la-weekly-pj-mcquade.jpg" height="505" src="http://illoconfidential.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/the-big-lebowski-illustration-spots-la-weekly-pj-mcquade.jpg" width="710" /></a></div>

Got
an illustration in this week's Time Out Chicago spotlighting local hotel
stay-cations with a Presidential twist. Most seductive Lincoln ever?
Yes, I think it is. <span id=".reactRoot[62].[1][2][1]{comment10200672525799337_3543506}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2]"><span class="UFICommentBody" id=".reactRoot[62].[1][2][1]{comment10200672525799337_3543506}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0"><span id=".reactRoot[62].[1][2][1]{comment10200672525799337_3543506}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[0]">Had
a lot of fun with this one, wish I had a twee more time on it but hey
that's the biz. My fav prez in this illo keeps switching, but right now
Clinton is, looks like he's raring to go. The other week, I got an
online glimpse of a painting that W. did of his dog Barney, who recently
passed away :( - it was really quite impressive. Looks like this
sensitive, artistic side is shining through now that he's gotten away
from Cheney and Bolton. Obama and Reagen look to be having a grand
time, perhaps they are playing Mario Kart or maybe Call of Duty: Black
Ops.<br /> </span></span></span></div>
