Chainrings and christmas

My mom owns a bicycle shoppe and I've been the designated Christmas Card designer which is always an excercise in how to mesh christmas and bikes. Here is this years attempt. Kind of lame but family friendly.

Lurking

I guess nobody tells me when I get published.
Fortunatly I've found my webhosting will show me who is linking to my website and how many hits I get off it. excellent

For starters, I guess Flavorpill decided to finally slip me into their Miami (?) newsletter.

I have 3 illustrations in DirtRag that I guess just came out this month. About bike riding! They are on my website already, not on theirs but you should buy it anywho.

I stumbled upon this one day. I wish they had an "about" section because it's pretty vague but I'm flattered to have my name in the mix.

AND this is the *gold.* I have NO idea what this is but I'm stoked. Oh the low res. files.

Cabinet of Demons #1

Ok. So I manged to whip this piece out after a hectic Rocktober of traveling and adventures and work and work and work.
It's for the Parts and Labor Collective show this saturday Nov. 17th.

I believe there is alot swimming around in my head and sketch book and two headed birds and I work well under a deadline.

I carved the various images, elements if you will, from linoleum; printed them on my kitchen floor with my feet using a refined stomping technique, cut away the excess paper and got my collage on. There is alot of detail in the skull that gets lost in this snapshot, perhaps Selena will help me document it.

I have titled it "Cabinet of Demons #1" and have tentative plans to do a series of containers.

I am a new blog

yep.
I am an artist and illustrator. I work with this guy for this guy during the day. I ride this bike to the ends of the earth and back and walk my dog around Logan Square when I leave my house.
