Interviewed for Steez

Steez Spots: Part 2

So, here are the other 5 spots I had done for a 2 part article in Steez magazine. In case I forgot to mention it before, these spots were done to accompany definitions of terms used by snowboarders and skiiers. I especially got a kick out of drawing the fourth image down. Back when I did snowboard, I loved it when people ate shit so hard going down the hill; Powder and clothes went flying in every direction. Coincidentally, it was usually someone showing off, so I never really felt bad for blatantly laughing at them. But, in case they weren't showing off, and did get seriously hurt, I apologize now for laughing.






More stuff from this issue later on.

A Hallmark Moment

This guy is making another appearance on this ol' blog for one of those warm, cuddly, the family all sitting around a warm fire, sentimental reasons.

A few weeks ago I noticed an e-mail that had "The Loch Ness Project" titled as the sender in my inbox. Instantly intrigued, I opened that sucker right up and surprisingly, it turned out to be an e-mail from the wife of Adrian Shine (the man picture above). She had caught a glimpse of my drawing on-line and wanted to let me know Adrian saw it and got a kick out of it. After a few more e-mails and a trade off, I had a signed copy of a booklet of his resting in my hands. To have someone that I've done a drawing of see my work, find amusement in it, and reach out to me is kind of a surreal thing. It makes the work that much more satisfying and can even trump the financially fulfilling side of things. Aaaannnnd, that's enough sentimental junk for now.
