Why Vegetables Are Predators cover

2012-01-19T07:24:00.000-08:00

Perhaps as a reaction to the deep seated fear of animate produce that Bananas in Pajamas planted in me long ago, I have begun a series of miniaturized fairy tale parodies featuring a variety of food stuffs.

Style Doll 1

2011-12-12T22:56:00.001-08:00

12/12/11

In order to justify my hours of internet trolling and obsessive fashion-blog-photo-collecting, I began a style doll series. Having bestowed this first one with my big Jewish hair, I named her Yidel. I imagine she has a really thick New Jersey accent.

New Zodiac Dilemma

1/30/11

I vow to start drawing these characters doing something besides sitting (demurely exposing themselves) in profile view. Time for some cartooning practice! And better color compositions! And getting those socks!

This is the first piece in some time to incorporate nearly an entire outfit; if not totally modest, she could at least receive an unexpected delivery man with only a little bit of leering.

Upper-Crust Haiku #1

2011-01-19T19:10:00.000-08:00

Gramophone crooning,
Corset ties prove difficult,
Left unsatisfied.

The first haiku illustration, a total mess, but I wish someone could cobble those boots into existence for me.

Victorian Haiku #2

Marble fireplace,
Perfectly Groomed Beard,
A wench on each knee.

Of course I made sure he thoroughly washed his beard beforehand, but given their state, they probably wouldn't have cared either way.

2010-12-11T13:40:00.000-08:00

Soon I will design a second set of cards to include my new website. Maybe I should give that snooty broad a shirt, or at the very least a cleverly placed tea cup/brandy snifter/opium lamp.

Eroticised "Bushy Bride"

2010-05-29T18:46:00.002-07:00

5/2/10

An illustration of Abjornsen and Moe's "Bushy Bride," a Norwegian fairy tale. I perused several classic fairy tales before choosing Bushy Bride; almost all were better in their original version, but a small part of my childhood died after reading that the Little Mermaid kills herself instead of marrying the Prince.

The Chariot

2010-05-29T18:46:00.001-07:00

4/30/10

This is a design for the Chariot tarot card, symbolic of a challenge or victory. In my imagining of the Chariot, the man is the anti-hero of the traditional representation. Sitting in a wheelchair (a modern chariot to cart around the gluttonous and slothful gamer), he lamely raises his arm in triumph over beating the highest level in Mario while two sloths (the foils of the lions usually seen at the feet of the man riding the chariot) lounge and pick their nose at his side.

This piece was created as a background for a poem titled "Reborn" by a Baltimore 8th grader, Terrell Kellan. The poem expresses how death does not mean to cease to exist, but is a transitional phase between lives.
