The shirts were made as a fund-raising effort for the illustrations graduating class end of the year show. They were very successful, sales over 500 shirts.
This video was constructed under the direction of Apparatus Inc. I don't remember the name of the guy who put the animation together (sorry) but it's based on the graphics I put together for this concert series. Enjoy.
Most people I know had friends tell them about the wonder-crushing truth behind the man in red. I, however, found out completely by accident. I would write to Santa each year, and each year received a letter back. Obviously, I saved every letter because that dude is famous! What sparked my skeptism was a note my dad wrote me to excuse me from a phys ed. class one day. I recognized the stationary. So in CSI fashion, I compared the note to a letter Santa had written me, the paper was the same, the handwriting was the same, I brought the evidence to my dad and he confirmed my speculation. In that instant, my child-like wonder was lost. That was the day I not only lost Santa, but the Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny and the concept of magic all together. Crushed.
I created this cover (and full package design) for Lacerda's latest EP. They are featured in the October Issue of Alternative Press. You can check out their tunes at http://www.myspace.com/lacerda
Shoes made for a Shoe Gala hosted by Toms Shoes. A great company who's core mission is to give free kicks to kids in need. For every pair of Toms Shoes purchased (customs or not) a free pair is given to a kid in need. Huge drops of thousands of shoes are dropped in South America and Africa. Pretty rad. The show was great and I'm stoked I got to be a part of it. I painted 14 pairs of shoes in two days to get stuff ready for the show. Any shoes not purchased are now on sale at Lileo in the Distillery District.
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who I got to meet at my first FanExpo, and I don't mean the celebrities, I mean all the kids, all the fans and all the artists who came by and spent a fraction of their day to say hi and a few other brief words. Everyone who bought a print, I hope that you continue to enjoy it and a double thanks to you. But everyones kindness and support were incredibly inspiring. I'm so glad I got to share my work with you and I look forward to seeing all of you again next year. Be sure to drop me a line anytime you want. I'm always open to a quick hello and I'm always open for business.

The product of a couple small art jams up at Andrew Patterson's place. I just felt like painting an ape. Might paint some more animals... a tiger... a rhino maybe. I dunno.
