Second Saturday at HOME

Check it out! Saturday, April 13th I'll be showing some new work inspired by the awesome food of East Passyunk avenue along with photographer Felicia Perretti. 

Expect drawings & photographs of fancy things from spots like Stateside and Le Virtu alongside Hoagies and Stogie Joe's pizza.. plus some black & white neighborhood drawings like this one below of the recently burned semi-abandoned Colombo Steaks.

This is the first of many Second Saturday shows at HOME, a new home furnishing store on East Passyunk. Come check it out along with some light food and drinks on the 13th.

Fantasy Philadelphia Neighborhoods for Next American City

Series of three Illos for Next American City, imagining the future of several changing Philadelphia neighborhoods - East Passyunk, Frankford Ave and University City.

As someone who passionately disagrees with the popular "tear down the old, put in Steven Starr restaurants and Starbucks" model of urban renewal I was glad to have some leeway to leave in the amazing East Passyunk "King Of Jeans" sign (interesting article about the history of that thing here: Passyunk Sign of Ridiculous Charm May Be Lost) and some crust punks in the background of the University City piece.

I've never worked like this over photographs before and was definitely worried it would be a mess, but overall I'm happy with how they turned out, my only regret really is not being able to put in 10,000 more details. Much thanks to art director Anthony Smyrski for an awesome gig.
