Steven Briggs needed some new photos, so he showed up with a few changes of clothing. He’s the happiest person I know. It’s infectious, like herpes.

I’ve been adding layers on these paintings off and on for years. Am I ever getting them done? I keep changing my mind about what they should be. Everything is a work in progress, until it leaves my hands.
With two new cars in the house, I was displaced from the garage. Sadness. All my art supplies are in flux. Thank goodness it never rains here in Los Angeles.
I lugged this sign from New York City. Someone found it in Alphabet City and it was housed in various basements for years. I built its final resting place, atop a patio table built from stray redwood beams.

Steven dropped by the studio a couple of weeks ago and I took a few photos. Ugh, I’ve been so swamped with work that I hadn’t been able to sort through them till now.

Oh how you have grown. I’ve had this rubber band ball I’ve grown over 25 years. I would spot rubber bands on the street and pick them up, saved the ones that had a previous life binding together stalks of produce, discreetly pocketed ones from my desk at work. Levi DropI’m a writer living in […]

Nolan in trouble. I think it was Nolan‘s idea to flip off the camera and pixelate it, because it makes complete sense to anger the police when you are in jail, and just in case TMZ leaks the mugshot, you want to look good. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of […]

Meet Yuska. “I kinda want to be a war journalist, but I don’t want to die. Well actually, when you’re at war, you don’t really have the option. You just have to be a journalist or you can be, you can’t save people. Sometimes, all I want to do is take the child away, or give shelter to those in need. That’s why I don’t volunteer at animal hospitals and shelters because I’ll end up just taking them away to my home.”

The Team at Jamdat. I worked for a while at a startup called Jamdat. When I joined the company, there were four people, so I drew everyone. Four years later, I had 87 illustrations. They started quite simplistic, but over the years, I got better. I did a good job if I really liked you, or if you really annoyed me. Anyone caught in the lull of my mood spectrum got a competent likeness, but nothing to write home about.
The Team at Geodelic. I was the Creative Director for a company called Geodelic, for which I had designed an awesome logo. I always try to do something team building with the staff, so I resorted to the old stand-by. Mugshots for all.
The Team at Bellrock. I was the Creative Director at Bellrock, which was the origin of the mugshot. I was in charge of putting together the office, which was looked like a 1940’s police station. We had this line up wall painting in the lobby, which was the perfect backdrop for the Polaroids we took.
