So 21 days till the end of the world? Who knows…but I’m pretty sure I’ll still be here lumbering over my sketchbook. As many of you know, Hurricane Sandy left quite a hell-hole for New York to clean up and luckily the building and area I live in (Bushwick) was unharmed.  My apartment never lost power or even a stutter of internet. The gods see it fit enough for me to continue on some freelance(which makes way more money than a part-time job mind you!) Anyway, Onto a tremendous work dump! Some film stills for the movie’s Failing Jean and Diamond Diaries by Left to Right Productions:

Now for my favorite part on my update, This is an album cover for my good friend Keller’s Grindcore band Meek is Murder. Keller lives on the fourth floor of my apartment building and we quickly became friends through musical interests when I moved into the Opera House Lofts earlier this January. He’s the singer/vocalist behind the music and he basically composes it all. The rest of his band-mates are all pretty cool guys and a bunch of really nice people. Halloween was pretty crazy this year!

For the future I plan on making at least one update a week and I plan to stick to it. I’ll be posting sketchbook process work that’ll have anything from color studies to urban sketching. Thanks again for stopping by the site! Every visitor helps!

Today I can finally say that freelance is starting to become my primary source of income while living in Brooklyn. I’m able to see my friends and maintain a social life (much more than ever!), balance a work week of painting and drawing, and still keep an active sketchbook. I long-board in central park and the Upper Westside on a daily basis – something I never thought I could do before. Thank you New York for giving me a new life.

So, for some recent freelance work. I present to you Craft Beer characters for a company called Intelligent Update.  The next project they put me on is to create ten Old-Time beer Illustrations similar to the Jameson promotional posters for Whiskey found in MTA subways cars. Should be fun so stay tuned!
