This is the paper cut out piece I made for Lux Humans Chinese Zodiac art show. It features my boy Gumby and his pal Pokey (who is a horse, get it?). The index card I used looks old because it is. I wanted this piece to feel like something you might find lost behind a drawer or in a box at the back of a closet. Was I successful? You tell me! And here's the flyer for the art show so I don't have to type out all the details.

Do you like Anpanman? Because I do! And if you don't, you really should! Take a peek at this little cutie pie I made for the Giant Robot Chibi Show group exhibition. I think he turned out very well, but I might be a little bit biased? But either way, the show opens Saturday, January 10th and runs for several weeks so get your butt over to Giant Robot to see this piece and all the other radical art in person, okay?

I've been trying to sit down and make a Chore Goblin zine for over two years but it just wasn't happening. I didn't want to scrap the idea altogether so I decided to remove Chore Goblin from the comic and see how that might work. Once I did, the ideas came pouring out of my pen. And the end result was better than I had even hoped it would be! Take a look at the first 9 pages and see for yourself!

Whoops! I've been so busy making tiny toys and tabling at fests that I haven't had a chance to post any zine scans. But here is my most recent small foldy zine and I hope you enjoy taking a peek at it :->  

  Here's a special toy I made for my wife to give away at the SpongeBob Crew White Elephant gift exchange. Putting it together and painting it was fairly painless, but then came the varnish... And for some reason this thing decided to wreck my shit. I almost pulled an all nighter trying to get it done in time!! But the end result was really cute so, oh well? Take a gander at these lovely pictures my wife took for me (plus one that I took of the drawing I did before making the toy).

  Take a gander at the post-its I made for Giant Robot's Post It Show 21. These were an attempt to blend my toy art and comic art together. And I think the attempt was pretty successful, but what do I know? Well, one thing I do know is that my wife, Lauren, came up with the caption for the star post-it.

  My group exhibition pieces keep getting smaller and smaller because I have less time to make them in between all of the other tiny toys I gotta put together. So for this piece I chose Chibi Totoro since they are just a little guy anyway, you know? The Giant Robot Totoro Show opens on Saturday, November 29th if you'd like to see this piece in person :->

  I grew up in the 80s and 90s so a love of dinosaurs was pretty much baked into my DNA. My favorite dino is the Brontosaurus who like Pluto (the planet) was demoted and might not actually be a dinosaur anymore? But here's a tiny diorama featuring a Brontosaurus that I made for Giant Robot's Dino Show which opens on Saturday, November 8th. I hope you get a chance to see this piece in person because it is cute :-> I forgot to take a bunch of WIP snaps of this thing but here are before and after pictures of it painted.
