I received an email from the SVA mailing list today that features one of my illustrations. I signed a waiver last march allowing the school to use my artwork for promotional purposes. Didn’t think they would actually do it.

NYU holiday card
This past October, I got a job from NYU to do a watercolor for them. I’ve mostly done graphic design jobs in the past, and on one of those projects, I did a watercolor. Apparently, the card with the watercolor got a great response, and so they wanted me to do another watercolor for the … Read More
Degenerate craft fair: the report
Just finished showing and selling stuff at the 2-day Degenerate Craft Fair and man, I really need to get a table partner! Once again, I couldn’t see a lot of what other exhibitors were showing, so I can’t report on that. I liked the stuff the few things I saw though :). Especially the exhibitor … Read More
Degenerate craft fair this week-end
As mentioned in my previous post, I’ll be selling my work at the “Degenerate craft fair“. I’ve never been, but I know a few of the students at the SVA printshop who have, and I thought why not try it out? It’s a two day event, goes from 12-9. I’ve been told there would be … Read More
Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival part 2
Yesterday was the BCGF, and I had a good time. Experiencing the festival as an exhibitor and not as an attendee is very different. For one thing, I was there for the whole nine hours, and by the sixth hour, I was starting to space out and get really really hungry. Thankfully, a couple of … Read More
Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival
I have a table at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics festival! I just checked the website now, and they have the maps up. I’ll be in table 25, downstairs. Most of the other people I know will be on the upper floor. The festival sure has expanded and it’s still free admission (unlike Mocca fest). … Read More
T-rex t-shirt
Back in April, I drew a picture of a t-rex on a bike. I liked my drawing so much that I thought I should submit it as a t-shirt design on Threadless. Well my design didn’t win, but since I can silkscreen shirts on my own, I don’t need to rely on Threadless. I did … Read More
New carousel book
I recently finished a new carousel book. The format is based on a children’s book I have (the story of Hansel and Gretel), it has ten pop-up pages, and the whole book folds back to create a carousel…I think carousel is the right term, but I may be mistaken. Anyway, I created my first carousel … Read More
Society of Illustrators sketch night: further impressions
I’ve gone to the Society of Illustrators sketch night three times since my first foray back in October. And the more I’ve gone, the more I’ve become frustrated with the venue. Now, as far as I know, it’s the only place that offers clothed /with props models, which is why I’ve gone. It also has … Read More
How to do a 3-d /stereoscopic image
Last week I bought a very cool 3-d silkscreened book from Dernier Cri. It’s possibly the first time I’ve seen stereoscopic images that “work”. By the way, by stereoscopic I’m referring to images that need to be seen with red/blue lens glasses. So I bought the book to figure out how it was made. Below, … Read More
