Our Peace Day 2011

Peace Day 2011 is right around the corner! August 14th actually, but close enough. The organizers asked me to do another poster, so I snazzed up the image a bit from last year, staying with the same theme, check it! Large scale prints are available through my Etsy store, proceeds donated to charity on Peace Day.

Oh, and check our their new website.

Art Brut Comic

I was approached by the band Art Brut a couple months ago to do a comic for their upcoming album. Very cool. The new album is really good, came out last week. 10 different artists including Bryan Lee O'Malley (Scott Pilgrim series), Hope Larson ( "Mercury"), Jamie Mckelvie (Brilliant Tragic album illustrator and "Phonogram: Rue Britannia") and Jeff Lemire ( illustrated Satan vs Art Brut) and myself were each to interpret one of the 10 new songs acting as a companion to the release of their new studio album "Brilliant Tragic!" produced by Black Francis. I had total creative freedom to do whatever I wanted. I chose the album's final song "Sealand". It was a blast to do, much more to come about this project. In the meantime, here's a sneak peak...

American Illustration 30

This image I did last year "Japanese Snow Monkey Drinking Hot Tea #1" was recently honored by being chosen for American Illustration 30! The slide show of all the other winners was just released, check em out here. It's #271 out of 509. I'm thrilled to be hanging out with such high caliber company. To infinity... and beyond!

It's also available here as a print on my Etsy account, all proceeds to Japan Red Cross.
