Every year, I host a dumpling party in which we make a heck of a lot of dumplings and watch a whole mess of movies starring a selected, beloved, actor. This year, it's John Cusack, so I drew him on a poster for the FOURTH annual ae Dumpling Party.
Been working on early stages of an ABC book. All pretty goofy alliteration with some fun animals. Twenty six is a lot of letters...
FEBRUARY - Lord Akira.
Continuing the 2015 calendar I'm making of comic book characters my girlfriend admires. All building designs taken from the insanely talented Katsuhiro Otomo. It was nearly impossible to follow his level of detail and organization of thousands of lines. To counteract the pain I felt rendering those buildings, I went a bit looser on Akira. Tried some screentone, ended up not applying it heavily enough, but was pretty pleased with the final result. You can track the months here.
To cap off this week of music, my crowning achievement: Brighten Up Sourpuss. This is the fullest, best made PSH attempt yet and really reflects what I like and what I do. Hope you enjoy. Check out the Bandcamp page for what is now a nice little stable of most of the music I've made in my adult life. Thanks for following along!

Birds of Brooklyn Update
Still at work on the poster of the common birds of Brooklyn. This is where we stand at the moment. The plan is to do 15 birds for this poster, and 15 more for the rare birds version. This frequency rating is based on the Prospect Park Audubon’s statistics and my own wandering through my home park. Very excited to get this one wrapped up and printed!
Season 3 Episode 11 in which a man with hot hands hunts those who exhibit the signs of the stigmata.

A Brief History of Captain America's Duds
I have a friend who is both a Captain America nut and a uniform aficionado. As a birthday present, I made a big old poster combining both. Here we have the main iterations of Steve Rogers' (one Bucky if you're counting) uniform throughout his career in the Marvel Captain America universe. He went through some hard times of disillusionment and physical adversity and his choice of costume did pretty well in reflecting that (except maybe the laughable The Nomad getup). Suffice to say, I learned a whole lot about the man in stars and stripes. You can get this beast over at the shop. The poster is 16" x 20". GET IT!
Another gig poster for the now Chicago-based DJ Lani Love. Changed up the style a bit this time to better portray her intended pop, disco and 80s setlist. I liked the look of the background on this so I made some wallpapers. You can get two versions of the wallpaper for your iPhone 4 or big old Droid right here.
Season 3 Episode 13 in which two highschool girls experience the true power of planetary alignment! They kill baby Ryan Reynolds and are accused of Satanic conjuring by an increasingly agitated town. Some dude gets murdered by a spring... great episode.

Season 3 Episode 4 in which a man (dayjob: bellhop) believing himself to be a psychic, brutally murders tarot card and palm reading professionals. One of my favorite episodes - having competing parts humor and gore. The character’s name is referred to as “Puppet.”
