Giant Robot NY is putting on a a great group show of comic art folks this week called Panelists 5. I was lucky enough to get one of my beard paintings in the show. The reception is this Saturday, June 6th, at 6:30pm. Come check out all the awesome work!

It is always interesting to see what will resonate with people. Some work I do, I'm sure everyone will love, and it falls flat. Other things, done on a whim, blow up. The 'Facial Hair Types' I did for Mammal 002 has been selected for 3x3 Illustration Annual No. 5 and American Illustration 28. What can I say. People love beards. horn. tooted.

Continuing my trend of animating Tristan Eaton characters, I got a chance to bring Billy Bananas to life again for an art event at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. This is a condensed version of the actual piece, which is an hour long loop of Billy breathing, broken up by brief moments of zaniness. I've strung all the action together along with some footage of the piece being displayed in the gallery

VH1 continues to baffle and amaze me by milking this trend of trashy competitive dating shows and spinning them off into countless other woefuly trashy reality shows. Tiffany Pollard (New York), originally a contestant on Flavor of Love with Flavor Flav, got her own dating show I Love New York which ran for two seasons in 2007. And now!

A couple years back I did a humorous short film about a day in the life of my penis, complete with a directors commentary, called COCK. Cock from Devin Clark on Vimeo.Recently, I came across this ad on Youtube.Is it possible that the creative wizards at Lactacyd ever saw COCK? Probably not. Chalk it up to collective conscious or pop culture zeitgeist of crotch films.

A couple years back I did some design and illustrations for a collaborative vinyl toy with Interspectacular & Kid Robot, based on a character by Studio Number One. The character, Frostie Beats, was originally for a Comedy Central spot back in 2003. Funny how things work out that way. A 15 second spot spun into a vinyl toy. Kid Robot even printed up the insert I illustrated to include in the box.

Very exciting news! An animated TV show I pitched to Comedy Central just got green lit for a pilot. It's called Ugly Americans, and is in many ways a spin off of the web series, 5ON, I did for Comedy last year. David Stern knocked out a hilarious script and the animation is underway at Augenblick studios. It's looking great and we're all very excited about the show.IMDB postpress release

Went to a cool little event out in the Williamsburg-ish area called Woman Working in Panels. I like ladies and I like comics. But, ladies making comics! Huzah! Rebecca Donner, Fly, Miriam Katin, Leslie Stein, Sara Varon, and Lauren Weinstein all talked about being a chica in the comic world. I typically steer clear of comic panel type events, but this was quite enjoyable and very informative. It

This is Mammal's first year rocking the comic con scene, and being that we are all based out of NYC MoCCA was a must. We spend so much time hidden away in our houses and studios working on Mammal Magazine and all our other Mammal endeavors that it is easy to lose perspective on the work. So, it definitely feels good to put that stuff out there and finally see what people are thinking. See how

In the first issue of Mammal I created two comics with four random folks commenting on a specific topic. "Coats" and "Therapy" were the first two. I just finished up two more. I hope to keep 'em going and have a little series eventually. "Punching" and "Crying" are the latest. Check 'em out.

I made the "Facial Hair Types" illustration a while back. Usually once I'm done with an image or an idea, that's it. I move on to the next. But, the beards really stuck with me and I've been working them into a couple other mediums. The most recent and most exciting for me right now, is a T-SHIRT!

In line with the “machismo” theme of our upcoming issue of Mammal I went around the New York Comic con snapping pics of folks as either “Tough” or “Not Tough”. People who I was too scared to brand myself I gave the option of choosing, which produced some fantastic responses. This, I think, may be the winner for the day. Thank you Lou Ferrigno for being awesome!Check out who else we got here.

About four years ago my buddy Ben came up with a couple insane comic book scripts. Dan, Tom and myself took on the job of penciling and inking these bizarre little tales. We each only had to do 7 pages in order to create the final page count of what would be the first issue of "Daring American Comics". It took almost an entire year to finish...yes, a year. But, that's not the saddest part. Once

Here is another page for the upcoming issue of Mammal (#2 : Machisom). It is a series of three empowering images that ask the viewer to place themselves within the scenario. I’ve been slightly obsessed with the concept of self-help and these drawings were born out of some of the strange strategies I’ve read/and watched on personal improvement. Such as this fantastic clip.you can check out the

Just finished up some illustrations for the next issue of Mammal. The theme for issue #2 is "MACHISMO", and so facial hair seemed like a good place to start. The beards felt lonely by themselves so I threw in something for the ladies too. The ladies hairstyle is a re-interpretation of an older piece. When I had the old version of "Ladies Hairstyles" on my site it got more hits than any my other

Since the release of the first issue of Mammal we’ve gotten lots of great feedback from folks. On the whole it’s been very positive and most of the criticism has been due to the somewhat disjointed nature of the collection. When it comes down to it, Mammal #1 is a bit of a mish-mosh of styles and strangeness. So, the lukewarm tone of our fist “official review” from Giant Robot’s Eric Nakamura is

Who are these losers you ask? None other than the Mammal gang celebrating the release of issue numero uno at Rocketship Comics. The party was a resounding success. We drank booze, sold books, and a good time was had by all.

A while back I posted about a collaborative venture between me and some other illustrator friends. It is a anthology / portfolio mailer featuring the work of 6 artists. The theme of this first issue was "newness". Mostly, because this is the first one and we really didn't have a cohesive body of work between the 6 of us other than it was a new thing for all of us. ha. It took over a year to

Number 3 went up this week. This episode made me realize how bad the editor of 5ON is. He manages to get only clips of Alan being harassed and no actual opinions on the environment. Poor Alan.

A little while back I got to work on some fantastic spots for TCM's new late night grind-house film block called TCM Undeground. The characters were pulled from the print campaign with some bizarre mutants, geeks, and weirdos done by Mike Dixon. The animation design took a heavy influences from Edward Gorey and old punk posters. I did all illutstration and animation on the spots with help from

Got to do some fun character design work for a Volvo spot through Interspectacular last month for the Volvo S40. The concept was "Volvo is a world of fun to drive" which presented a opportunity to do some more playful designs. They posted here if you want to check it out. Robots, robots, robots, my favorite. The original has some insane aliens and demons in it as well...but that was deemed not so

Mammal Magazine is almost complete. Just doing the final layout and getting quotes from printers. Soon! Soon, it will be done. It's all very exciting.

Mammal Magazine is an art rag with illustration, comics, and other good stuff. The first issue will be coming out very soon and will be featuring some drawings I've posted earlier as well as work by many of the folks in my link section. Check out the site for more information.

When working at certain design shops around Chelsea I make it a habit of having coffee in the morning at the City Bakery on 18th. It's a bit overpriced, but the space is great with a second floor of seating that looks out into the whole place. Anywho, one morning this weekend dad was getting his little girl breakfast and remarked to his daughter at the fact the I was drawing. I felt a bit like a

Nice! Billy Bananas is the star characters from one of the spots I animated for Comedy Central through the boys at Interspectacular. Billy was designed by Tristan Eaton, the vinyl king of Brooklyn. So, naturally Billy has been made FLESH! Vinyl Pulse has more to say about it.

I picked up a bunch of these wooden plackards in Hong Kong with these awesome deities riding beasts. After digging them up years later I did a little modernized version of one. "Make it edgey and urban!"

Now, I wouldn't recommend renting this movie unless you love the epitome of "good and terrible". My buddy Tom described it as "bafflingly awful sci-thriller features time-capsule 80s hairstyles, neutered pussy cops, chixx bathing in alien-sperm, and rapist aliens with vagina-mouths. this sounds far better than the end result." At least it was inspiration for the old sketch book.

I made a second version of the "Ghost Town" illustation that I posted a couple months back. I've still got some work to do on the colors, but it's basically done. Another one for the upcoming publication of Mammal Magazine.

A couple months ago my buddy Luis gave me this insane drawing that his nephew had created. I was so inspired by the horrible acts of violence being portrayed by these stick figures that I was determined to do my own version. And now months later I've finally done it...and here it is.

It has been one frickin' busy summer. Too busy to keep up with my postings here. But, that just means I got a nice back-log of stuff...I'll get the ball rolling next week. In the meantime here is a still from a 10 second short I just wrapped up for Channel Frederator's FredEx, which is a little celebration they're having for their one year anniversary of the Frederator Podcast.

It's been a couple hectic weeks. But, I just got word that one of the spots I created for Comedy Central made it in to the Ottawa International Animation. for Commisioned Animation. The spot is called Robogirl vs. Spankbot, created over at Interspectacultar. You can check it out here .

In the summer my brain shuts down. It's too hot to run it at full power. What did they do in the south before AC? Maybe, we're all just a bunch of nancies now, made week by our technology. Soon, barbarian hordes will decend upon us and pillage our society of noodle armed choir boys.

They say it is better to regret something you did than something you didn't do. But, I find there is nothing as effecting as being haunted by our wrongs from the past.Voodoo Bot has no guilt and can act like an asshole whenever he wants.

What happens when you have a bunch of drunk illustrators at a bar with sketch books. Generally, it is something like the comic above. Now, ad up a couple years worth of that insanity and you get the lovely collection "Stir The Soup". If you can decipher the horrible hand writing and wade through the inside jokes you might find some jems in their. But, generally it's just dick jokes and violence..

Due to my Mexican proclivities, I was given the nickname Macho at one time. However, it was later deemed that I was more of a Nacho than a Macho. Over time Nacho started to take on a life of his own and recently he has been popping up more in my drawings. So, here is the cover of the Nacho comic that I've yet to make. Heh.

A couple of the network IDs I animated at Interspectacular for Comedy Central are being nominated for awards at this years Promax BDA. Now, I'm not entirely sure about the category, possibly "Best Collaborative Effort". But, I do know which IDs made it."Cow-Saw" is one I actually wrote, designed and animated, "Snowman" I did with Superdeux, "Billy Bananas" with character designs by Tristan Eaton,

I just finished photocopying up the first batch of "Most Teeth" number one. Sometimes I get on these comic kicks, but don't have the time to actually sit down and do it properly...like starting with a solid story, developing the characters and what not. So, I end up with these sequential narratives that I just write as I go based around character pulled from my sketch books. The core narrative is

I've become preoccupied with people with small mouths. Now, this is not some weird mutant feature possessed by a few individuals, there are many small mouthed people out there. In fact my mouth is not particularly large. But, some folks just got little mouths with little teeth. Just sayin'. Little teeth taking little bites of food.

I tried a Coca-Cola Blak this weekend...and I am surprised to say that it wasn't half bad. After a tentative sniff and a slightly disgusted first sip I found myself enjoying the strange beverage more and more. My final prognosis...Delicious. It tastes more like something the canned-coffee-obsessed Japanese would come up with though. So, I'm not sure how the response is going to be in the states.

When Kid Robot came out with their "Design-it-yo-self" Munny toy last year I got take part in a bi-coastal show of the little dudes custom painted by various artists, designers, cartoonist, and what-have-you.

The internet has become an amazing social network connecting millions into, every new-media producer's favorite key word, communities.

I've grown up in cities my whole life, having spent my childhood in Philly, my college days in Syracuse, and now living in Brooklyn. So, one would think that interacting with the homeless would not be an issue, and up until I moved to NYC is wasn't. In Philly I even got to be friendly with many of the fixtures of South street, saying howdy to those folks who pan-handled on that dirty little strip
