Philly Surf & Turf

Artwork for Hot Diggity's new Surf & Turf Hot Dog. Hot Diggity is an awesome hot dog restaurant on 630 South Street in Philadelphia. Full color T-shirts (and maybe prints?) will be available soon at the restaurant and online. Check out some process shots below. Read more about the hot dog itself on Drawingforfood.

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!

Sketches Sketches Sketches

All the things. Hot dogs, hamburgers, mustaches.. and maybe someday I'll actually have some new finished work to post..


Oh and some really funny backwards hot dog prints.. maybe they'll go for a zillion dollars on ebay 400 years from now.. anybody out there intereted, I'll sell em cheap!

Lafayette Coney Island

Sort of a different style for the Hot Dog Of The Week art. At first I was worried it would look funny but the black & white actually really stands out on Serious Eats among all the spinning twirling full color pop up ads of Tyler Florence or whatever. And Lafayette Coney Island is pretty much the best place in the world.

Sizzlin' Summer - Rejected Baltimore Citypaper Cover

Here's a rejected cover I did for Baltimore Citypaper's annual Sizzlin' Summer Issue. Maybe our concept of mixing Inner Harbor touristy crap with Baltimore trashiness didn't go over so well with the editors??

Even so it's always a blast to work with AD Joe Macleod who has been giving me great work for years (check out this illo I did about Evan Wright and Generation Kill way back in 2004 ) and is also a great source for Baltimore area hot dog recommendations.

Hot Diggity Paintings

Hot Diggity just opened last week at 630 South Street in Philadelphia with ten of my giant hot dog paintings as their menu. This job was a blast to do and pretty much exactly what I had in mind when I started doing these things.

Check it out - the hot dogs are delicious and I'm pretty sure there will T-shirts and prints available at the restaurant in the near future. To read more about the food, check out my post tomorrow on Serious Eats.

Hot Dog Stickers

Just got these in the mail. Awesome extra-thick vinyl stickers from stickermule.com. They also do die-cut stickers for pretty cheap!

Dunno what I'm gonna do with 300 neon yellow hot dog stickers now... Probably throw a few in with every hot dog print order from now until they run out.
