It was a pleasure doing this pro-bono job for my buddy & colleague John Blondell at Westmont College. When John asked me if I would be interested in doing the poster for a series of six short plays by Samuel Beckett, I had only one condition: as long as it could be a portrait of [...]

Well, at least I have a good excuse this time to explain for the lag between blog posts. I’ve been working round the clock for the last few weeks putting together all the final touches on my show, Illustrative: Graphic Arts by Scott Anderson at the Santa Barbara Arts Fund Gallery. This was an exhibition [...]

My wife’s birthday fell on the day after Mother’s Day this year, so I knew I had to come up with a nice gift to celebrate both days, and on a budget. So when you tell an artist that they’re not allowed to spend any money on you, you pretty much know you’re going to [...]

The issue containing this illustration has now seen print, so I can now show it in its entirety, as well as show the process steps. Above is the final illustration as it saw print.

Working on a fun illustration project right now, and I’m carefully documenting all kinds of stages of it for a nice long process post. But as it’s still in process, I’ll just post a teaser for [...]

Can’t believe I let two weeks slip by without posting. I blame the Olympics. Thanks for destroying my work output for a solid week, Michael Phelps.
Since friend and illustrator Scott Bakal called me out in the comments section of my last post over the fact that I’m not exactly doing sketches per se in my [...]

After months of procrastinating and being occupied with other things, I finally finished my latest entry in the Dialogue sketchbook that I’m passing back and forth with Peter Cusack. Sorry this took me so long, man. I’ll be quicker about it with future entries, I promise!
For those just tuning in, Dialogue is a pretentiously-titled moleskine [...]

Big ups to Johnny over at Drawn! (one of my favorite websites for finding out about cool new artists), for featuring me a few days ago. I found out about it right as I was leaving on vacation, so I’ve only just now been able to get on the internet and check my blog and [...]
