For the past 6 months I've been using my subway commute to warm-up figure draw. The goal is to capture as much as possible and measure my time in number of stops. Enjoy.

 NYC Cartoonist Happy Hour, April 19 2009, Jermaine Chambers, Matthew Moss, Derek Mainhart and Doug Bratton.

Jermaine is one of my oldest pals, Currently he's in Afghanistan! Let's wish him well! Coincidentally back when we were kids, he bought me my first superhero comic. I'm glad he joined us that night. Whata' Happy Hour!



Dj Samurai YT

My ever awesome friend and collaborator-- DJ Y-Teezy, commissioned me to create a flier for promotion- I'm still tweaking the lettering-- but i wanted to post it!

Dan Kasper- Real Marine, in space-- and Afghanistan.

I was commissioned on the fly to do a vector drawing of a mutual buddy who was heading off to war. The idea was to portray him as a cheesy sci-fi "space marine" appearing like a Major Arcana card in a Tarot type card set.
