Elmira Drive-In Preserved

Happy to report that this bad boy was chosen to be included in the American Illustration 40 Archives. Thank you to AI and this year's judges.

This and a bunch of my other "landscapes" along with some covid-era pieces will be on view this fall. More details to follow.

 

Mount Thingmore

I missed getting this posted before President's Day but a day behind can still be considered timely in this case, I think. I've decided that we need to revamp Mount Rushmore in honor of a very important event that occurred in my life on President's Day when I was about 10 years old: My first viewing of John Carpenter's The Thing. So, here is my proposal for the iconic monument's new look, 4 key figures involved in making what is easily one of my favorite movies of all-time. From left to right we've got John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, Rob Bottin and Ennio Morricone.  We may even need to consider adding a fifth head to honor Keith David. Him and Kurt Russell share, what has to be, one of the most discussed and analyzed endings in horror movie history.

All Good Things Must End

Today is the final day to see "Bathhouse" at Corning Community College. This horrific drawing of tourists and the Bushwick Hotel piece below are the last 2 illustrations from the show for me to blast out into the mighty internet. After I got back from Europe last November I pretty much worked straight through until March to get everything together for the opening. It was exhausting but totally worth it so, I wanted to say thank you to Dave Higgins and CCC for giving my friend, Travis Winters, and I this opportunity. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the college to see our work. Thanks!

There is a hotel not too far from my apartment and it looks somewhat like this. It's not this sketchy looking outside but I'm sure there's still plenty of strange situations going on inside. I wanted to create some illustration depicting a fictional scenario that I always imagine happening whenever I walk by it. The place just oozes sleaze and I really wanted to capture it.
