The Stranger - Rich O’Neill - Sketches et al

I had an illustration in this weeks Stranger for an article about the head of the Seattle Police Officer’s Guild, Rich O’Neill. Apparently he’s a real jerk, so they asked me to draw him giving the reader the finger. I initially took some liberty and had him using both hands which you can see above, but they decided in the end to only go with one hand. Lucky for me, I happened to do this illustration completely digital, except for the initial sketches. This made it easy to delete the second hand pretty easily as I put almost everything on separate layers for that reason. Check out the final here »

Bill Murray - Framed Art

I recently sold my Bill Murray “Carl Spackler” painting and sketch. The guy who bought it had them both framed together and was nice enough to bring it by to show me the great frame job!

Poster for Japan Tsunami Relief

I was asked by Brown Paper Tickets, in conjunction with the Northwest Film Forum, to create some original art for an event to raise money for Japan tsunami relief. The event showcased Japanese independent film, and all proceeds went to relief efforts. I was more than happy to donate my time and art. They made 100 limited edition prints, which I signed and numbered. They were for sale at the event which took place this past Saturday. They will be making T-shirts of the art for the next event in May.
