This is a detail from my new skateboard deck for Coda. I can’t show the whole thing yet, but rest assured, it contains a whole lot more members of the zombie army.
I think this marks my first zombie drawing. I’ve been trying to think where this idea came from because I’m not usually one to draw the undead or monsters in general. I’ve been re-reading the old Swamp Thing comic from the late eighties and have been enjoying the monster melodrama that series is packed with.
I will be at the MoCCA Art Festival in fine New York City June 6-7. The show is at a new venue this year at the 69th Regiment Armory (Lexington Avenue and 25th St). I’m looking foward to seeing it.
This will be your first chance to pick up Show Off (see previous post for a bit behind that book) and 2 new t-shirts—one with books and the other with faces. They’re being printed now so pics will come soon. If you can’t make it to the show, they will be up in the shop shortly after. For the Rare Words watchers, I’ll have the originals with me as well.
My friend Souther Salazar is having a new solo show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC May 16 thru Jun 13, 2009. The new work looks amazing. Stop by if you are in the city or try to purchase a piece before they sell out.
Over the last few years of sketchbooks I have been drawing these strange limbless people speaking to each other. They are being collected in Show Off, a 16 page comic collecting my favorites of the group. The books are coming back from the printers as I write and will be available next week in the shop. Above is the cover and a page from the book.
