Cats, So Many Cats!

I had a lot to do in the last 6 months. I just finished a project I've been working on for the past 3 years (on and off) for Oni Press, written by Paul Tobin. It is about a cat, he has cat friends and the story jumps around in time and space while featuring a wide variety of cats. I decided to celebrate this finish-line crossing by drawing my favorite cat on the internet: Lil' Bub.

I'll returning to my poor neglected blog, over the coming weeks, to revitalize it with updated content and notices of all sorts. For a while there I was juggling wedding logistics, Tragedy Series, commercial illustration, my first trip out of the country and a full length graphic novel; I've checked a few of those off the list and I'm ready to share again.

Thanks for waiting. Watch this space!

February-Phoenix! (with a side of nudes.)

Hello and welcome back! If you wonder where I've been then read on...


I took January off (unintentionally) because I got into a bind with a project that I'm doing for Oni Press. I am excited about the project but commercial work had intruded a bit too much into the production schedule during the last few months and I wasn't making progress. That, combined with some miscommunication between the writer and I, had me suddenly feeling like I had to play catch up in a major way.


Flash forward a few weeks; I've returned to a proper pace on my Oni book, kept Tragedy Series updated and successfully farmed out some of my commercial responsibilities to studio-mates. I'm really doing my best to catch up but I also want to make a few things just for this blog.


Today's offering consists of these figure drawings/studies I did at Periscope Studio's 'basement salon' session last night. Natatlie Nourigat let me borrow her 'portable' watercolor kit' which was comprised of a yogurt lid and a water brush. It worked surprisingly well. Thanks to the ladies of Periscope for organizing it, getting the model, setting out snacks and making it great!
