Glass of Water?
August 15, 2010 – 9:25 am
Here are the inks from the spread in my new drawing/fill-in/doodle book where I check in on your progress and see if you need anything, like a glass of water. Why Is Sasquatch Crying? will be published in fall ’11 by Chronicle Books!
Why Is Sasquatch Crying? Production
July 28, 2010 – 3:00 pm
Hey, try to look past the poorly lit photos and dig what I’m working on right now for my new book. On the top you’ll see some pencils for the intro page on which I present myself as a slightly disturbing character under a sheet with no apparent clothing or arms. Next, a pile of [...]
More Sasquatch Inks
July 23, 2010 – 11:08 am
It looks like my new book coming out next year will be called Why Is Sasquatch Crying? after all. It was pretty much the first idea that Jay, my editor at Chronicle (and longtime Meathaus compadre) pulled from one of the interior pages and we’ve been running with it all the while while tossing around [...]
Rock Strips Translation Design
July 15, 2010 – 2:17 pm
Here’s a peek at the cover of the newly translated and updated design of the French language rock and roll comic book anthology, Rock Strips.

More Book Progress

I think hair is hilarious. The new book that I am writing and drawing will be published in fall 2011 and it contains hair. Another tip: it is a book that you draw in!
The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox
July 2, 2010 – 8:48 am
Here are a few shots of the Rizzoli book, The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox which I did production work on. The company Pentagram designed the book and I was brought on to process through hundreds of images that needed to be cleaned up, digitally cut out, optimized and standardized. Silhouetting objects so that they [...]
New Book In Progress
June 21, 2010 – 4:11 pm
Here are a few progress shots of my new book. It’s still early enough in the production that we don’t have a title settled on yet, but late enough that I am inking pages furiously. There will be many more updates soon.
Lost Planet 2 Release Party Shirts
May 7, 2010 – 5:44 am
I Am 8-Bit Productions called again to get me to produce some t-shirt designs. This time it was for a Lost Planet 2 release party. The twist was that there was to be an interactive component to the shirts. A company in L.A. called Fresh Pressed specializes in custom, on-demand, do-it-yourself screen printing services and [...]
Fight Club & Current Work
April 28, 2010 – 11:29 am
I updated the portfolio with an illustration project that was in and out the door quickly last week and then at the Capcom Fight Club event just days later all over people’s t-shirts. See the project here. Also I just put together a collaborative art zine with people from all over the world who contributed [...]
