These Are Their Stories

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Brandon Bird’s Law & Order art show was a huge success! Law & Order showrunner/L&O:CI co-creator/”brains of the operation” René Balcer even bought one of my prints. He bought every artpiece with Goren in it in the gallery.

Here’s the whole show: http://www.brandonbird.com/stories.html

Here’s a place to order prints of some of the pieces, including my Detectives Look for a Racist and Two Teens Disappear in a Museum, both printed on very nice watercolor paper & signed in an edition of 50 each.

Guess what? I’m in a gallery-type art show!

Fossil Record on CD

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Dan Telfer | Fossil Record

I illustrated this CD a couple month’s back. It’s out now. There’s also illustrations on the inside and on the CD face not pictured here. Also, a standup act (which I did not illustrate, as it is audio)

Order it as a part of the very reasonably priced 3-CD pack

Italian Magazine

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I did an interview and a feature in Italian magazine “D.” Several illustrators redrew ads from clients. I don’t speak Italian the reasons why we did this were never all that clear to me. But, here it is (in Italian, natch).

Here’s the magazine itself with my illustrated interpretations of the ads sprinkled throughout. (150, 174, 182, 186, 232, 236 & 242)

I also posted them on my flickr account

Judge A Book By The Cover

Monday, April 26th, 2010

I didn’t even realize this was out yet, but here it is. My first book cover illustration, in stores May 4, attached to some guy’s memoir.

Here’s the not quite final cover:

She Ain't Heavy

Your version will have the proper sub-credit line in there. You could order on Amazon, but really, you should support your local bookseller if you can

I Made These Business Cards

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

I’ve never really had a need for business cards, because people who want to hire me usually find me through the internet. I made some anyway, displayed here with a wholly erroneous phone number to foil all of you who are stalking me.

Geranium Peale with A Rubens

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I made this

A Geranium with Rubens Peale
A Geranium with Rubens Peale, 2010

(after "Rubens Peale with a Geranium" by Rembrandt Peale, 1801)

And then the next morning I found this while looking for an envelope

In Pursuit Of Fame, Nat'l Portrait Gallery, 1992

The tone of the text (and the exhibition title, really) is that Rembrandt Peale was a jerk who only cared about being famous, failed time and time again and blamed the audiences for being provincial. So judgmental, Smithsonian brochure writer!

He was just mad because his brother was sooooooo cute. With his pretty flowers and his two pair of glasses. XOXO!

Fabrics now on sale!

I got my test swatches from Spoonflower, so I can now offer fabrics for sale!

You can’t buy it, though. I have to spend money to be a “seller.” Maybe later.

Merge Records SCORE! CD

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

A flickr follower mentioned this came out, so now I can post about it—
Merge Records: Mindy's CD

Mindy Kaling’s Score! CD from Merge Records.

"Mindy Kaling is a writer, co-executive producer and actor on NBC’s The Office. She is also the founder of Pitchfork Media and plays ethnic percussion for Arcade Fire."

I only had three days to do this.

Meet the Ugly Beatles

Christmas Retrospective

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I didn’t have time/motivation to make a Christmas card this year. Luckily, it being the end of the Zeros, I instead give a brief retrospective of cards of the years past. (The ones I already have on the internet, anyway.)


Christmas Card 2003
2003. I lost this scarf immediately after making this card.


Cakey's Xmas Card
2006. This is actually Cakey’s Christmas card, but I made it.


Santa
2006. Inside: “Hoping your holiday season is relatively free of traumatizing calamity.”


Christmas for Breakfast CD face
Not actually a Christmas card, but an album you should buy


Sterling-Cooper Christmas Party 2007
2007. The Christmas card that changed the course of my career and indirectly dictated what I would be doing for the next 2+ years. (Made for actor Rich Sommer.)


Happy Holidays from S.C.
2008. This one was for sale in my brief career as a copyright-violating media profiteer.



2008. We delivered on the promise, too.


Merry Fishmas
2008.

Merry Fishmas, everybody!

Make Your Own Calendar

Make-Your-Own

A lot of people want a Mad Men Illustrated calendar like the one I did last year. I can’t legally make that, so I made a set of calendar pages that you can assemble with pictures from this flickr set to make your own.

This download is JUST THE CALENDAR PAGES —no images. You can pick and choose from this set to make it on your own with your home printer.
