Haircut.
Look at how goddamn happy this Goldeen is! He’s just waiting for you to high five the living shit out of that fin! DON’T LEAVE HIM HANGING DOOD!!
Jimmy should write all the Pokedex entries.
Oh! Also, I did a swap with Vera. Hodor hodor hodor.
I did this little dude for Mike Mitchell (who I’m sure you all know). How in the world could I resist drawing a skull who is also a little dude?
“Diane,” a small contribution to Andrea Kalfas’ Twin Peaks zine, “Damn Fine Coffee.” While watching the show I liked to pretend that Cooper’s recorder wasn’t on, and that Diane was just his name for it. Like it was some kind of stress release to talk to it and gather his thoughts.
Ink and digital.
I had an illustration in yesterday’s New York Times Business Section (alongside Kali, which is sweet). It was for an article called Coining Terminology for Life on the Web, and it was kinda about how startups try to either invent or appropriate bits of language that they think will “go viral.” Ok, cool.
This map ran in last week’s Adweek, accompanying an article about ad agencies in small markets. This is not a good map if you are lost or anything.
BOUQUET //
I designed this for a t-shirt company last year, but it was unfortunately never printed. Maybe it will be re-born as a screenprint?
Awesome.
Hey BROS, since the Battle Royale show opened last night, you can now buy a print of my Alakazam piece on their website. Super limited edition (only 15!), super low price (only $40!).

If you’re not aware of Tatsuro Kiuchi’s magnificent work, well, you’ve been doing something wrong with your life until now.
Hey guys! Guess what— the Pokémon Battle Royale show at Light Grey Art Lab opens this friday! Here’s my Drowzee! (who I kept on my Leaf Green team almost solely because I loved the noise he made)
Apparently Drowzee is based on the Japanese Baku spirit: a dream-devouring tapir-like creature. Spooky! Drowzee is a grassland pokemon but he is also sometimes found in ancient ruins and tombs. Paying homage to Drowzee’s scarier mythological counterpart in a crumbling temple seemed appropriate!
Prints will be on sale at the show! I wish I could go, There’s gonna be so much fun art from 151+ (!) amazing contributors. Check it out!
Yup. This is the best one.

New drawing for SooJin Buzelli at Plansponsor magazine. The article this accompanies is about how stable investments are performing better than their peers. So, obviously. Let’s invent some narratives together. Let’s draw all the stuff.
WARM MILK for Andrea Kalfas’s forthcoming Twin Peaks Zine!
I know you guys all think log lady is the best, but you are wrong. This is the best character in the show.
Of course, you can’t print a gif. Also, the zine is in black and white. But I felt like doing a little something special for my tumblr followers, as tradition demands.
So fresh. Gotta figure out what to do for miiiinnneeee
