i don't get the summertime blues! off to vancouver tonight so figured i'd upload the new design, if you're reading this you've noticed this page got moved from the front to the back and probably won't get updated much anymore. lots of drawing and skateboarding lately and super stoked that the hard drugs record is finally being released! check it here or order it here...

another year older and wiser, yeah right. this drawing of a brooklyn ghosttown is for octoberman's new record 'fortresses'. it's bungling up my layout but i still thought it's a nice enough image to throw up here for awhile...jlee

whoa, history. in november i watched obama's victory speech from a barbershop in bedstuy, and today i watched his inaugural address from probably the only (former) gay bar in crown heights.

...in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right.
--Rev. Joseph Lowery

pretty fucking awesome...jlee

bet this was a rad show but i heard colin fell on his face?! the other image is a new sketchbook drawing, not sure who it is but my friend pawl says it's george michael, he's a dirty ball washer though (pawl not g.m.) and i don't have a scanner right now so i just shot it on my shitty digital camera. got our visas about a month ago and just got my social secrurity card so i guess this brooklyn thing is looking pretty permanent, at least for a couple years. drop us a line if you're ever in the hood...

Ha, ha, ha. Now I remember why I stopped messin' with this web design shit: I suck. Please ignore the major flaws herein until I work out the kinks. I think all the links are fixed now at least. Anyway, thanks to everyone who came out for the show last night, it was an awesome first show. Next one is @ the Astoria April 19th with Small Fame and Sports. So, yeah, try to remember I'm an artist and illustrator but not a web designer.

New website, sweet! Can he keep it up to date though? we'll see... I'll be adding gig posters and comix to the projects page, and maybe some sketchbook stuff to the artwork page soon too. Waiting to hear back about summer residencies in New York but in the meantime the new band, Lord Beginner, has a handfull of shows coming up. We're still in the middle of that recording too so if you haven't yet checked out the new jams, there's a couple up on our myspace. Also looking for work right now, between working on this and renovating my house, so if you need something or if you hear anything I'm still always for hire...
