This weekend is the 10th annual Portland Zine Symposium. This will be my 5th year tabling at the Symposium, I think. If you’re in the Portland area, swing by the gym at PSU on Saturday or Sunday, it’s free to attend.

The Independent Publishing Resource Center asked me to come up with an official seal for them, based on the state seal of Maine, but with more IPRC-related icons. I was more than happy to oblige.

Every year in Portland there is a city-wide music happening called MusicfestNW. My friends at Tender Loving Empire asked me to design the poster for their showcase last year, and I must’ve done an OK job because they asked me to do the same this year.

All the bands involved in this show are ones that I have seen multiple times and really like, so that’s always a bonus. The show is in early September, right at the end of summer/beginning of fall, and I liked the concept of someone making the last ditch summer effort of making some cutoffs, even though it is about to cool down soon.

I designed this to be a three-color poster, the first being a split-fountain gradient to re-create the sunburned feet/pale legs. The paper is a light blue, which will show through in the cutoffs and flip-flops.

Then a dark blue layer.

And here they are after a final, deep pink layer.

I created this set of illustrations for an article in this week’s Willamette Week, one of Portland’s weekly newspapers. The article is about a talk being given this week on how different public displays of affection are viewed within the queer community as well as the world at large.

There’s a lot more copy that they worked into the illustration. Each couple’s pose has a name, description, and a ranking of how acceptable or unacceptable it is. It printed in grayscale, but I thought it would look good with a sort of vintage-y offset color scheme, so I went ahead and did that.

Every year, one of Portland’s free weekly papers, the Willamette Week, puts out a catalog-sized free magazine called The Finder. It’s a guide to restaurants, bars, neighborhoods, and nightlife all around Portland. They asked me to illustrate a Portland landmark, a statue of Paul Bunyan in North Portland, but to turn him into sort of a hipster-y paper doll. This is printed as a full page, and is backed with ads, so people can actually cut him out and play with him if they so desire. I love doing stuff like this.

Here’s a book cover I illustrated for my friend and fellow IPRC worker, A.M. O’Malley. It is a collection of her writing as well as black and white interior illustrations by other friendly artists she knows. I was honored to get to do the cover, and the image of multitudes of objects hanging from trees is one that has always intrigued me, so this seemed fitting when A.M. told me the title of the book.

If you live in Portland, Take a Picture, it Lasts Longer is available at Reading Frenzy, Powell’s, and the Portland Art Museum.

I did another illustration for the Portland Mercury recently, here it is. That’s Portland’s mayor, Sam Adams, holding the sign.

Due to finishing up with school, I haven’t gotten to do any new illustrations for the Mercury lately, but hopefully that’ll change now that I’ve graduated.

This illustration goes along with an article covering the plight of the trees in Portland’s Forest Park (the largest city park in the country I believe), and how there is only one park ranger on staff to figure out how to stop them from dying. I seem to be the Mercury’s go-to guy for people in uniform, but I’m pretty sure this is my first park ranger.

I’m also trying out some new media this summer, or that’s the plan. Most of the sick trees and background were drawn with a china marker, which gives a nice rough-edged line when coloring digitally.

The IPRC is having a chili cookoff and auction later this week. They asked me if I would create an image for the event that would be used as a newspaper ad and online. The IPRC is pretty Sasquatch-friendly, so I thought Bigfoot bringing his best pot of chili would make a fun image.

My roommate is a scratchboard artist so after months of hanging out with her while she scratches away, I had to give it a try. I have to say, I kinda dig it; I’m going to try to do more scrathboards this summer.

Does everyone know I have Facebook pages for my art stuff, Banner Year Press, and Man’s Face Stuff? It’s true.

Well, well, well… long time no see, internet. In my recent absence of nearly a month or so, I have officially released two books (one of which was awarded twice over), graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from Pacific NW College of Art, taken part in four art shows (one solo show, three group shows), tabled at two comic/craft shows, and taken on some interesting freelance work. In short, I’ve been busy.

The Independent Publishing Resource Center had me do this diptych for their catalog which gets released every other month. I’ve done a number of things for the IPRC lately, which I’ll be posting shortly.

I’ll probably spend the next few weeks getting back in the swing of things, posting here and such, and I’ve got a lot ready to show. It’s going to be a great summer, so keep in touch, yeah?
