Sorry for not making my post on time. Here is an apology.

I took Stephen's thoughts about the baby announcement to heart and decided to explore some alternatives to the sharp, crisp typeface I had been using (Requiem). Here are two different typefaces set in much the same way, but they have a bit more of a "handmade" quality to them—with some softer edges and lines more consistent ...

So I was totally aware of my posting day this week. It's been on my mind and when I got the email today I thought to myself, "One step ahead of you man…one step ahead." As it turns out, just being aware of an impending deadline does not necessary mean one is ready. I my case—though I ...

Hi guys. Long time no post, right? I know I haven't been super involved of late, but you'll have to forgive me, because seven weeks ago, my wife and I had the cutest baby in the whole world. That's right, I'm a dad! It's been a pretty surreal experience (as I think a lot of you know already), ...

I was in Lexington, NC this weekend to attend the annual Barbecue Festival. I've been looking for a personal project that would really be exciting to me, and few things excite me more than a good barbecue. Unfortunately, and rather surprisingly, I didn't find much barbecue at the barbecue festival. There were only three tents where ...

What do all of these have in common? First, some background. Last week my wife, Megan, and I received our new iPhones. If any of you have exchanged at least two words with me in the past week, you'll already be aware of this news. It's my very first smartphone, let alone iPhone, and I am ...

Here are some quasi-conceptual paintings I've been working on over the past month or so. There's not much of a story behind them—I just liked the idea of exploring a series of portraits with a sort of twist. I also got to experiment with using some transparent acrylics, glazing techniques, and monochromatic color palettes. I ...

I don't know, I guess I'm just really into painting portraits lately. It's usually the first thing I go to when I sit down to work. When I don't have anything else to work on—no deadlines looming, no art direction, no expectations. I just find an interesting face and try to bring it to life in ...

This is an illustration I was working on for "The Past" mixtape here at work. The concept is kind of obvious, I know, but I was more concerned with doing some actual painting. I also wanted to experiment with a monochromatic color theme and try to capture some of the texture of the aged, cracked ...

Since I missed my post last week, I’m going to do a two-for-one special here to make up for it. This is mostly a post about the SketchBook Pro app from Autodesk for the iPad. I can’t say enough about it. It’s literally changed the way I develop concepts and ideas for my illustration and design ...
