“Pest Control”, my piece for the LADY KNIGHTS // WOMEN WARRIORS zine by Abby Boeh, Roxie Vizcarra, and Julia Scott coming out at MoCCA this April. No three-eyed tusk-mawed pest is a match for this bitchin babe exterminator.
She’s also the star of an upcoming comic I hope to have all ready for SPX this year. That’s the plan anyhow! We’ll see…In any case, she’s a little too rad for me to ignore.
Wicked Lady for Jenn Woodall’s Moon Power zine. Always liked this bitter angsty babe.
This is my piece for the Silver Screen Society’s February exhibition honoring the very funny podcast “How Did This Get Made?” Artists chose one of several bad movies reviewed on the podcast by Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Raphael (who can make the word “disgusting” the funniest thing I’ve heard) and my choice, if it’s not obvious, was Batman & Robin.
My little brother and I have seen this movie too many times, and it is oh so silly, and we love it. There are enough nipples sculpted into costumes that I figured I’d give everyone a chance to show theirs off. And revisiting those costumes…boy are they dumb. Mr. Freeze’s get-up is one of the most convoluted, stupid things I’ve ever had to draw. So this was tons of fun.
Check out all the great work on Silver Screen Society’s online gallery here, including Jimmy Giegerich’s excellent Cool As Ice piece (which got him followed BY Vanilla Ice on Twitter! A very rad outcome). And, if you haven’t already heard “How Did This Get Made?”, correct that error here. You’ll be better for it.
Thanks to the guys at Silver Screen for inviting me to take part!
Portrait study: Rosemary Woodhouse.
First face in a horror movie heroine series I’m working on in my “spare” time.
The Magician
Meanings: influence, awareness, ability, creative power, confidence, determination, a beginning, ego, desire to dominate, inspiration, focus, taking action, charm.
This is my piece for Light Grey Art Lab’s upcoming show, Tarot, Mystics, and the Occult. I pulled The Magician, the card which starts The Fool’s journey, which was awesome and intimidating! There are a ton of great artists taking part in the show, and everyone’s piece will be compiled into an actual Tarot deck, which you can pre-order here!
Here’s a question: can you guess which fantastically low-budget 1960s horror (?) film The Magician’s cloak is an homage to?
Recently, I was invited to take part in Scout Books GOOD INK: American Shorts. Their series of small books telling classic short stories are each illustrated by one of many talented artists, and it’s exciting to be included among them. My story, The Isle of Voices by Robert Louis Stevenson, entails giant warlocks, disembodied voices, and magic shells. Here are a couple of the illustrations that you’ll find in the book. Keep an eye out for it in bookstores soon!
Queen Emeraldas.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!
My piece on Dolly Parton’s hit song for Ten Paces & Draw went up today as part of their mixtape project. Check it out and all the other great work in the “Southern Cat’s Got Claws” series.
Also. No foolin…I really love that song.
