Oh, happy day! After yesterday’s advance announcement for Biorequiem mailing list subscribers, I’m happy to present two peculiar specimens. Playing on my fascination with chapter 8 of A Rebours and the the concept of alien botany, I offer you the first fruit of my dicey investigations, in print form. Available in signed and numbered limited editions of [...]

Photo Flurry 095 – Conjoined 2: The Sequel in 3D
January 30th, 2012 · 5 Comments · Photo Flurry
Good morning! Closer to noon here, actually, as I’ve managed to inexplicably sleep past 10 for the second day in a row. After several minutes of cold-sweat-panic and confusion, I’m now enjoying it with a mug of homemade mocha and a pile of photos to dig through. First up, a few shots from the Conjoined [...]
Oilslicks 008 – See the Cypripedium at Conjoined 2!
January 20th, 2012 · 4 Comments · Oilslicks
My latest painting, the startling Cypripedium Lingua, is now finished! Come see it in the flesh, along with the Cephalotus Geminus, this Saturday at Conjoined 2. If you haven’t already, check out this Haute Macabre write-up about Conjoined and, if you’re in LA on Saturday, be sure to come say hello at the show! I heard [...]
Oilslicks 007 – Cypripedium Progress
January 10th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Oilslicks
I’m racing to get ths piece finished for Chet Zar’s Conjoined group show on the 21st and it turns out one can get a lot of painting done in four-and-a-half hours if enough over-steeped Pu-erh tea is on hand. The question now is: will I even sleep again? Always,

Photo Flurry 092 – Work // Play
January 10th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Photo Flurry
The past few days have been filled with shoots and interviews and catching up with some of the ridiculously talented people I’m glad to call friends in the midst of it all, while ferociously digging into One Hundred Years of Solitude. On page 180 now. Today I’m diving back into a painting, in hopes of [...]
Oilslicks 005 – Cephalotus, Stage 2ish
December 22nd, 2011 · 6 Comments · Oilslicks
I give you a few progress shots of my toothy Cephalotus, being brought into existence for Conjoined – Chet Zar’s group exhibit at Copro Nason on January 21. This is maybe five sessions of varying lengths since the first layer post a few weeks back, as well as one unfortunate 5-hour stretch that ended in [...]

Announcing Limited Edition Print Set – Here Until 12.31.11
November 15th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Biorequiem, Inkdrops
It’s been one hell of a year, folks, and I’m rolling out the goods to see it off in style. As such, in addition to the phenomenal offer below, I’ll be clearing the Biorequiem shop of everything you see there now at the end of the year. This means that if you’ve been putting off [...]
Inkdrops 024 – Robot Girl for Isabelle
November 11th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Inkdrops
I took time off painting this week to let the oil dry and to work on tattoo commissions. This one is for a patient, lovely Canadian who first contacted me well over a year ago, but was lost in the email abyss. She initially wanted something heavily biomechanical yet feminine. When I began to draw [...]

Oilslicks 004 – Cephalotus, stage 1
November 4th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Oilslicks
A few shots of my current workstation, which happens to be the kitchen table + dropcloth. We do have a workroom, but the light in here is better, plus – movies! I’m in the process of painting two pieces for Chet Zar’s “Conjoined” show, opening January 21st at Copro Nason gallery, and they’re decidedly NSFW. [...]
Photo Flurry 079 – Excited State of Overstimulation
August 11th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
Over the past month I’ve been busy working on D4RT and trying to keep up with commissions, so it’s been a challenge to stay on track with my streamlined routine – I can’t say that there haven’t been days of slipping into the over-caffeinated, under-hydrated work mode, but I’m adapting and managing to squeeze some life and fun [...]

Inkdrops 021 – Tattoo Commission: Spooky Mermaid
June 17th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Inkdrops
Just about done with a piece for a UK client, who asked for a spoooky mermaid. She’s going to reside on the right side of the client’s torso. This was fun to work on; I hadn’t drawn a mermaid –subject of countless childhood sketches– in ages. I wanted to create something a little different from [...]

Inkdrops 020 – Tattoo Commission: Tentacle Villainess
May 25th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Inkdrops
Just finished this up yesterday and am fairly pleased with it. A peek into my tattoo design process: it’s going on the client’s upper arm, so I requested a photo of the exact area and created a digital mockup before drawing anything – the idea here is that the piece will cover most of the [...]

Oilslicks 003 – Les Fleurs du Mal
April 15th, 2011 · 18 Comments · Oilslicks
Through some monstrous force of will [and at the expense of things that would have probably made me money] I managed to put another 4 hours into this painting. I would say it’s almost at the halfway point., with no more than 20 more hours to go. A part of me hates showing work in [...]
Mixed Sack of Wonders
April 12th, 2011 · 10 Comments · Biorequiem
Writing from the heart of the storm, where the dust is swirlin’ and is shows no sign of settling. At least I have new wood-framed glasses from Spex Club, which I dig for light eyebrows days. IPHONE CASES My iPhone cases are coming. I can’t show them to you yet, but these are the featured [...]

Sketch by Cameron Stewart
October 27th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Biorequiem
This is all kinds of great: a drawing by Eisner-winning artist Cameron Stewart, who was kind enough to send me the hi res [on advice of Ales at NYCC]. It’s based on this photo of me by Allan Amato from a couple of years back. Love! You can see more of Cameron’s stuff here: http://cameronstewart.blogspot.com/ [...]

Coilhouse 05 will hit stores in just under two weeks, but signed copies with special inserts are already 3/4 gone from our web shop. You can see a comprehensive by-article assessment of the issue here.
