Another addition to my little series.
A small tour of Bushwick & it's ever changing graffiti universe.
Part 1 cuz it's way too much to cram into a single 1 min video.

Crooked Crisco Christie

The steady fall of Governor Chris Christie continues... gotta love it.

Let's go Downtown, Brooklyn.

I pick-up a new piece of video equipment and decided to make this into my first project with it.
I'm thinking of turning this into a fun little series.
Enjoy!

When boarding the C this morning, I avoided a cart thinking, "woop, gonna dodge THAT angry looking crazy guy" then entered the next quite one. 30 secs after taking off, the tiny mild mannered old bald man next to me began quietly singing to himself which built into a small cha cha dance in the crowded aisle way then escalated to whistling... you just never know in this city. He sure did seem happy though😌 | #Inktober #Halloween #monster #zombie #art #artist #Pen #drawing #illustration #sketch #subway #nyc #good #happy

Dear Upset Person Speaking to Yourself On The Train, Yes. We are all angry about how awful this A train service is. In-fact, every single one of us is complaining about it using our "inside voice". It's an internal thought process that helps us determine what's relevant to the people around us OR specifically to Ourselves, ONLY. You ARE NOT activating this useful internal mechanism and are therefore expressing evvvery sinnngle complaint in an annoying and audibly childish way. We are all adults. You appear to be one too. No one wants to speak to you, a crazy stranger on the train, regarding this subject. Please stop. Thank you, The Citizens of New York City | #Inktober #Halloween #monster #horns #art #artist #Pen #drawing #illustration #sketch #subway #nyc

Life could be so simple... The trains could just smoothly travel from one station to the next. Rent could just remain forever affordable. Wages could truly be fair and unchanging. People could choose to make more money if they earned degrees and chose new careers OR simply remain happy in their current jobs till death. Humans could be sincerely kind to one another and that would be perfectly fine by everyone. The government and all its politicians could apologize for being selfish pieces of shit in every possible way. And pigs would fly, voluntarily pooping golden coins over lakes of frozen ice in the bowels of hell for eternity. Hallelujah. Amen. #Inktober #Halloween #art #artist #Pen #drawing #illustration #sketch #subway #nyc

8:25am That moment when your normal A/C train has a power outage and they try to corral everyone onto a bus and you walk to the S train instead then transfer to the 3 THEN while drawing this, a woman passes out and you catch her back then at the next stop, shout for everyone to move while you help the sick passenger out and run to the conductor for help then on your way back to the sick woman who is now sitting on the platform, you see a man dressed in scrubs so you grab him and take him to the sick passenger then the conductor shuts down the 3 train and everyone gets pissed then finally an EMT comes and someone ponies-up a Smart Water for her... and everyone feels shitty for being pissed and I feel like a hero... long commute but good day so far. 9:52am #Inktober #Halloween #art #artist #Pen #ink #drawing #illustration #sketch #subway #life #love #nyc

Better Blogging Starts now

I need to get better at posting to this blog.

A lot of times I just hope that most people who like my work, find and keep track of what I'm up to on Instagram. But that isn't necessarily true.

Here's a little something, I recently opened a Facebook Business page & a Threadless Artist Shop. They aren't ready for primetime yet but once they are, these locations will be places where you can find updates & product announcements featuring my work.

There, that wasn't too hard.

My next post will have a few links to the goods I just mentioned above.

Becoming Big

So I've been working on my childrens book for the past month straight and it's nearly done!
All art is finished and I've just received some great 1st reader feedback from one of my closest friends Kasha, who graciously shared it with her daughters and the girls loved it :] I just need to take a look at the rhyming structure again and make a final decision about a few great suggestions on their part. I haven't shared any images of this book on my site yet but feel free to follow along on Instagram. In the meantime, here's some manly hyperlapse of me cutting the final illustrations down into gallery ready gumdrops!
