Who's Watching the Watchmen?

This piece will be hanging with other pieces by fellow PCS (Philly Cartoonist Society) members at the IMAX theatre in King of Prussia. It'll be there for the next 2 months, so check it out if you can! The folks at the place I work printed them as 24 x 36" banners.

Spreads Like Butter

Thought I'd upload some of the recent design work I've been doing for that part time design job. Actually, doing their self promotion is pretty fun, and they had some really good photography to work with, which I love.

These are some random spreads from the press package I've been working on. I'm sure there will be some changes, but it's 99.5% there, methinks.





And I'm off to the Abe Lincoln show tonight to bask in the glory of ol' luck (er, perhaps more unlucky) 16. And tomorrow I make the long haul to that more recognized metropolis for the NYC Comic-con. Busy weekend for me!

Hearts, kiddies!

Be Honest

The Philadelphia Cartoonist Society will be putting on a show to celebrate president's day and Abe Lincoln's 200th b-day. So all you fans of ol' Abe Lincoln best get yourselves to Brave New Worlds this Friday!

Here's a copy of the press release:

Brave New Worlds Comics, voted Best Comic Shop in Philadelphia by the City Paper, in partnership with the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society, a group of super talented local illustrators, proudly present the gallery show 200 years in the making: “HONEST ABE”! A show meant to Commemorate and Celebrate the 200th birthday of our nation’s most beloved presidents and faces. This partnership was forged after the success of the “Children of the Watchmen” show held in November, with the sole purpose of bringing together over twenty artists and their unique visions of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, and placing them against the backdrop of the comic books in the heart of Olde City, Philadelphia. There was never a more perfect fit for the larger than life Honest Abe!

The opening will feature over twenty pieces by artists each with their own take on the classic gaunt faced, beard growing, mole having, stovepipe hat wearing, slavery abolishing, Jefferson Davis’ butt kicking, rail splitting, man, myth and legend that is our one and only “HONEST ABE”!

From 6pm –9pm come out to Brave New Worlds Comics at 45 North 2nd Street in Olde City, across from the Arden Theatre (between Market and Arch streets), for a chance to be one of the first to check out all these fantastic takes on Lincoln and maybe even wish him a "Happy Birthday, Mr. President” while you are at it, actual 200th birthday is February 12, 2009 (save the date).

Opening: Friday February 6th from 6-9pm
