Earlier this week, my pal Amanda Palmer (and the greater portion of the Internet) discovered that Billy Joel’s song “Piano Man” has the same structure as the Lovecraft poem “Nemesis”. I told her that if

For my Birthday (on Thursday) I made myself this Bettie Page Illustration. Well - I had started it last week - but I finished it on Thursday. It’s a drawing that lived in my brain for awhile - but I just

I know what you are thinking: Death in The Smurf mythos should be personified by Gargamel ... which is true - if you think of death as a skulking and menacing figure. ...I prefer to consider it in the

If you follow this account at all - you probably noticed that I’m a bit distracted by the Death and the Maiden motif... This illustration was originally made as a gift for a friend of mine - who was actually

My Death and the Maiden theme continues with Popeye and Olive Oyl. I saw the original animation cel art - and I knew I was going to have to play with it. There is something magical about these old cartoons!

Over in the land of Instagram - I have a friend called Briana. Briana is a competitive fitness model and working Art Model. She was good enough to provide me with a few photo references over the summer

I was recently introduced to the wonderful Hannah Barron (via Cameron Hanes on Instagram) - and there is something magical about a pretty lady elbow deep in a mammoth catfish. There was absolutely no way

A few days ago I posted a piece of art - one of my “Death and the Maiden” themed illustrations in the style of famed cartoonist, R. Crumb. And today I received this: An Artist at Citizen Ink in Brooklyn

There was a time when the only thing I wanted in the world was to be a cartoonist. Before Comic Books - before fantasy art, before any of it ... there were comic strips. One of the VERY FIRST books I was
