POST IT 9 - GIANT ROBOT


Always awesome to contribute to this show. I think I've finally gotten my post-it technique down too. I went for it and did almost 20 this year. Basketball and Breakfast. I'll post the rest after the opening this weekend. Thanks to Brad Wallace for the NBA consultation and also the proud owner of the above James Harden jawn.


I don't know the exact numbers but this show has thousands of post-its from hundreds of artists, heavy on the comics & illustration all for only 25 BUCKS A PIECE. I'm dying to get out to this thing one year.


Check out curator Mark Todd or hashtag #postitshow on instagram to check out what other people are doing, or if you are anywhere close to LA go see the show Saturday!

Hairy Baltimore



Recently contributed these drawings to an awesome book put together by master hair renderer Alex Fine. Illustrations of local Baltimore celebrities with interesting hair by over 20 different artists. I contributed a portrait of Vincent Black Shadow singer Adam Savage and one of a guy named "Kool-Aid" who has a blue mohawk (maybe I need to do a color version?) and checkers shaved into the side of his head.


It's a limited edition book so no word if it's available to order but Atomic Books would probably be your best bet. And LOTS of thanks to Alex for giving me something to draw that's not dripping with chili grease and cheese whiz!

Frank Reynolds



Portrait of Frank (Danny Devito) from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, done for a christmas present. Note the pocket sausages from a recent episode. I literally fall on the floor laughing every time I watch this show.




Some portraits I get a spot-on likeness in 30 seconds with the first drawing. I thought Frank/Devito would be a piece of cake but it took me at least 25 sketches and 10 layers of tracing paper to get his face right. Kind of like when you lose your keys or something, annoying but so satisfying when you finally find it.

bsg sketches






in honor of the series finale tonight I wanted to do some portraits of battlestar galactica characters.. if you dont know already it's a fantastic show... I finally gave it a chance and devoured the first 3 seasons on DVD in maybe 2 weeks.

Adama (Edward James Olmos) was easy, but I must have drawn Boomer/Sharon/Athena (Grace Park) about 400 times and still don't have it right. I really want to get a good Starbuck with her knocking back a shot, maybe I'll work on more next week.. where do they get all the booze & cigarettes in outer space anyway??

The Office is probably the funniest show on TV right now. I love that they somehow mix cheesy romance with black humor, that it's smart and low-brow at the same time and it works.

Of course everyone loves Dwight and Michael Scott but some of the other characters are even funnier, especially the "nard-dog" who has a great face to draw and wild facial expressions. I'm also working on Toby and Creed but it's been tough to get a spot-on likeness.
