  • Cincinnati Magazine

    Thursday, Oct 29, 2009 10:37AM / Members only

    I've been a blogging fiend this month!! Just barely met another deadline yesterday for the December issue of Cincinnati Magazine -- 3 simple spot illustrations for an article about pesky bugs. They will appear in the magazine in the style of trading cards(think Garbage Pail Kids), listing fun facts in various categories.

    The bugs they chose were head lice, bed bugs, and crab lice. Though the research for crab lice was less than pleasant, I loved the concept of the whole thing. And on the plus side, I already knew TON about bed bugs, being a Brooklyn resident and all. Thanks to AD Grace Saunders and writer Ian Aldrich, for giving me the challenge of cutening up these little critters. (I do wish I had taken more time to think about the colors, but I guess sometimes you just have to live and learn that salmon = no.)

    Crab Lice:
    (Supposedly all the Beach Boys had them in 1963. Unfortunately, my Beach Boys/Pube Lice sketch was not chosen.)

  • McSweeney's

    Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009 2:21AM / Members only

    Last week I was asked to make an illustration for the upcoming McSweeney's Quarterly, accompanying a letter by Zev Borow. I've been a big McSweeney's fan for a while, so this was an extra-great assignment, even though it was a fast turnaround -- Friday to Sunday, from sketch to finish. So that was pretty much my weekend(that and watching Rosanne Barr get sweet revenge in "She Devil"). The issue comes out next month, and will take the form of a full-scale newspaper. More info can be found on their website. Major thanks to Brian McMullen for contacting me. It was tons-o-fun to make, and I got to try out a new technique!

    Sketch:
    (It makes more sense in context, I swear.)


    Final:


    10x17 Woodcut

    Ridiculously limited editions of 3 in the black outline and 2 in brown.
  • Der Freitag

    Thursday, Oct 15, 2009 5:37AM / Members only

    Just finished 3 prints for a special illustration-heavy issue of Der Freitag, a publication based in Berlin. It will be distributed at the Franfurt Book Fair and Illustrative Festival this week.

    The deadline was pretty tight: 3 pieces from sketch to finish, in under 48 hours! I liked the challenge, but it did feel extremely rushed. (In the future, it would be great if someone is around to stop me when I decide it is a good idea to start carving a German village at 3 in the morning.) The subject matter was China(the guest of honor at this year's fair) and the growing status of its publishing industry --- popular translated literature, cheap/bootleg books, etc. Which = pandas reading things. Thanks to Janine Sack and Corinna Koch for including me in this project.






    Too lazy to put sizes. Woodcut.

    (Also, for anyone who is interested AND Spanish-speaking, here is a brief interview with the nice folks over at My Buffer Guest, a Barcelona e-zine.)
  • The Believer

    Saturday, Oct 3, 2009 4:41AM / Members only

    Hey! The October issue of The Believer is finally out, which includes 8(?) of my black and white illustrations. Big, big thanks to Andrew Leland for running all the pieces and putting up with my constant badgering. (And thanks also to Ed Park for helping me badger.) It's really awesome to see the work next to Charles Burns and Tony Millionaire's drawings, as well as Louis C.K.'s offensive ranting. Go pick up a copy, or see the images for free here. Or see them for free in a bookstore! Plenty of possibilities.



    Other life things that have happened in the past month:
    -Moved to a new apartment in Bed-Stuy. (No more treehouse)
    -Started the new school year of Little Dumplings, a preschool I teach at in the UWS.
    -Witnessed my cat transform into a bloodthirsty mouse-catcher.

    Currently:
    -Working on new series of prints for an upcoming show
    -Eating mooncakes

    And also:
    MSHVB artwork appears randomly on iPod ads?

    Recently did some album art for my friend Joe's band, Show of Cards. This has been a very long, on-going project, so I'm happy it's almost all put together. I'm also happy they said yes to yaks!

    OK! Excuses for the haste that I wrote. Well, I posted in my AnD Blog research that I made to clarify the concept of Surface Design. It is to over this that you can do free comments.
    Cheers.

    well, the fashion school here of course is not as good as western countries', that's the reason i want to go to france to study fashion design~~~:) the fashion course here depend on the teacher, if you meet a nice one, that's lucky, but it also limited by the period... what's your education background? in China or US?
