I designed these spacewalk socks (a Semi-Accurate Diagram of Our Solar System and Exo-Planets) for a contest by sock company Sock It To Me… and they’re one pair of 35 finalists! If you have a facebook, you can check out all the designs and cast a daily vote for your favorite here. It’s space vs. Edgar Allen Poe vs. pizza vs. koalas.

This comic is based on my mom’s encounter with three scary-looking Samaritans in East River Park during New York’s badder days.

Scratchboard! Drawn specially for the Spring ‘12 issue of INK, SVA’s student-owned comic magazine.

I had a lot of fun with this poster for a wizards-monsters-whaler rockshow. [Link] Call Me Ishmael is all about Moby Dick. (But it’s not metal.) Uncle Monsterface is your inner 10-year-old. (And a people dear to my heart.) Harry and the Potters is a cult. My first colored pencil indulgence in a long time. What happens is… if I’m going to have colored pencils, then I’m going to have pastel crayons. And if I’m going to have pastel crayons, then I’m going to water color them. And if I’m going to watercolor, Bristol says “What are you DOING to me? (buckle)” But then it still scans alright.
