!!!!!

here’s a little glimpse of the new zine I’m working on ✏️ #wip

I made this poster for J Roddy Walston & The Business' 3-show series at the Ottobar starting on the 24th. Really fun direction and nice to have a hand in celebrating Ottobar's 20th anniversary! Tickets on the event page here.

Some months ago I illustrated and hand-lettered materials at Spur Design for the Maryland Humanities Council's One Maryland One Book program. Every year a book is chosen for state-wide reading and discussion, with materials distributed to schools and libraries, and the 2012 selection was The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway. It's a story based on true events about a musician during the seige of Sarajevo who honors the memory of his friends and neighbors by playing his cello everyday in the square where they were killed, a day for each victim.

It was a thrill to work on this at Spur, and lovely to work with the hardworking people at MD Humanities. You can find out more about the One Maryland One Book program here. Art & design direction by David Plunkert and Joyce Hesselberth.

so thoughtful

The deadline for Bits in Multiples of 8: an 8bit-64-bit Video Game Fan Art Zine is TOMORROW!!!  If you’re stressed out about making the deadline, I’ve provided you with some soothing music to listen to while scrambling to get your work done. >:D

Here's a painting I made for my grandmother on her 85th birthday this last Sunday.  I chose calendula and white cosmos because those are October birth flowers, and a skylark for our Danish roots, which all come from her! She's a great lady with all the vigor of someone whose far from 85, and I always love seeing her. I think she liked the gift :)

Saturday is the opening of Q Pop's Akira Toriyama tribute show in honor of Dragon Ball's 30th Anniversary. Here's my little contribution: the two sides of Launch, a quirky character that I've always loved. Details for the event here.

have some? ask some.

If you've been wondering how & where you can pick up a copy of one of my zines, comics et/ou Loot bags, I have good news: you can now purchase either or all of those things at my new store. Quantities of all items are varied and limited across the board (there are only 6 copies of "Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri & Familiars Arcane" remaining for instance), so get them while you can.

You'll also find copies of my books at locations around the country: Floating World Comics in Portland, OR, Chapel Hill Comics in North Carolina, Big Planet Comics in DC, and Atomic Books in Baltimore, MD.

Thank you, thank you to everyone who's shown such enthusiasm for my work. It's been a great month.
