Here’s a sneak peak at my new Coda Skateboards graphic for this summer. Should be in stores soon. Hard at work on a ton of Rare Words, skate decks, a new comic, and art for a solo show this fall that I’ll preview more of as that gets closer.

Birds Attacking Print
Just got notification that Print magazine has chosen one of my CODA skate decks for the next Regional Design Annual. Couldn’t be more proud since Print does the best design annual and my decks have a soft spot in my heart.

Favorite Whatevers of Whatever
Ghosts of the Past album artwork (above)
The guys at Invisible Creature did this one. It’s simple, lo-fi, and classic.
Gus & His Gang by Christophe Blain (NBM)
The book is listed as authored by Chris Blain, but that seems to be a blatant attempt to Americanize this French comics collection. Blain’s cartooning is so expressive. These truly fun stories are about a group of western bandits who rob trains and banks, but are still riddled with girl problems. Blain’s cartooning is nearly perfection, but the small format of book obscures much of the detail that is meant to be enjoyed larger.
RiffTrax
Does your heart still hurt that MST3K is no more? Well, Mike Nelson, Bill Corbet, and Kevin Murphy have started a new venture: RiffTrax.
The Baby is Disappointing (Idiots’ Books)
A very tongue-in-check story of how inconvenient a new baby can be. Written and drawn by Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr respectively, parents themselves. A great gift for new parents (who can take a joke).
Ledge skate session videoclip (via Crailtap)
Smooth and filmed slo-mo. Just relaxing to watch.

Zombies!
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.
