Here’s my piece for next month’s show at the Basil Hallward Gallery in Powell’s. I can’t remember what the name of the show is, but basically they found a bunch of old, bad records and handed them out to a bunch of different artists. It was then the artist’s job to use that record as [...]

This is like a week too late, but this was the illustration I was working on to celebrate getting to see Neko Case at the Edgefield last week with Jen, MK, and Greg. I haven’t really worked on anything finished in a couple of weeks, and I feel really rusty, so I’m not completely stoked [...]

Just a quick post today. I had to fit some time in between packing to do an illustration for the WW yesterday. You can read the article here.

It’s May, which also means it’s Asian Heritage Month! Every year for the Asian Reporter’s special Asian Heritage issue, I’m tasked with coming up with a main illustration for the issue. I documented some of the struggles with coming up with an illustration on the brownpaperbag blog last year. This year went a little better [...]

I had a pretty busy week last week, so I didn’t really get to post at all, but I thought I would sort of do a dump of some things that I’ve been meaning to post about. First off, a couple of weeks ago, was the Stumptown Comics Fest, at which I did a lecture [...]

Had some work for the WW this week. You can read the article here. It was pretty fun to draw, plus I got to fit a Neil cameo in. Also, my friend and fellow illustrator Diane Rios has some work in this week’s issue, too! Make sure to pick up a copy if you live [...]

Still busy writing, though we got some last minute editing requests from :01 regarding Americus, which goes to the printer in three weeks.  Just when I keep thinking it’s all done and done there’s still more to do. Looks like it’s crunch time! Though I will say that I’m kind of happy because I have [...]

Wow! I’m on a blogging roll. This is the third post this week! So it’s safe for me to post the Americus covers now, and I posted them last week at Save Apathea, but thought it would be a good idea for post them here, too for anyone that doesn’t read that site. Note that [...]

Here’s some quick illustrations I did for the Asian Reporter’s Lunar New Year issue. They will be black & white in print, but I thought I would pretty them up for the internet. It also makes me think that since New Year’s is on February 3rd, if I want to make a postcard to send [...]

Sorry it’s been quiet here. With the holidays and some artstuff, I’ve been pretty busy. One of those jobs was the cover for this week’s issue of the Pacific Northwest Inlander. I also finished up the comics project that I’ve been working on, but I’m going to wait a bit to share it. Now I [...]
