Dead House

Here’s a new album cover I recently completed for The Daily Pravda for their single Dead House. Regular followers of my work may also remember I did the cover for the full album as well.

Great Moments in “Reply All”

Here’s a new set of illustrations I did recently for Bloomberg Businessweek about bad mistakes using “Reply all” in business emails.

The Drowned Cities

This was a cover I illustrated and designed a while back for Little, Brown that I’m finally able to post. Great book! If you like dystopian futures and armies made of children, I highly recommend it! This is a companion book to Paolo Bacigalupi’s Ship Breaker, which I also worked on.

I just finished a redesign for the website of my comic strip, Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles! It was a pretty monumental task, so I’m glad it’s done!

With Thanksgiving coming this week, X-Mas is right around the corner. If you’d like anything from my store, please make sure to order before December 19th (U.S.) and December 15th (International) to make sure you get it in time for the Holidays!

Messing Around

Inspired by the cool stuff my web class is doing (and getting more comfortable with WordPress and tweaking themes), I’m messing with the website and experimenting with some design choices. Site may be in flux for a little bit while I mess around.

Web stuff

[UPDATE: OK, original functionality is back, but I'll still be tweaking little bits of code here and there over the next couple weeks. There are some improvements that the update allows me to do that I'd like to incorporate.]

I just installed the newest update of my theme. Unfortunately, it’s doing some different things than it did in the last version that I’m not as psyched about in regards to the portfolio. So some things may look freaky this week and next as I find time to debug or revert back to the old version. Hopefully, I should have it back to how I like soon.

Wuftoom

Here’s a new book cover I illustrated for Houghton Mifflin called WUFTOOM. It’s a Kafkaesque story about a boy who turns into a worm-like creature. This has the dummy type I set up for them to show them where I was thinking type would go. Looking at Amazon.com, it looks like they just went ahead and used it as-is, so this is the version I’m posting. If the type changes, I’ll update.

New Parsons Class

I’m going to be teaching an additional section of my class, Digital Presentation, at Parsons this semester on Wednesdays. Looking forward to meeting the new students this week!
