The Haunted Hop featuring Roky Erickson!

It's time of the year again for Jonathan Toubin to throw his monstrous HAUNTED HOP  Halloween party which means it's time for me to gear up for some marathon illustrating. I was psyched when I heard ROKY ERICKSON was going to be headlining the show this year because I knew this would mean I would get to draw him a few times AND get to see him live on Halloween! Oh, happy day. If you're unfamiliar with Roky, I recommend checking out The 13th Floor Elevators albums and then dig into his solo catalog, especially the albums, The Evil One, Gremlins Have Pictures, and Halloween 1979-81, purely for the face melting version of "Bloody Hammer". This poster was done with a quick turnaround to get the initial announcement out so for the big announcement I'm hoping to really knock it out of the park in honor of Roky! Some process pics below.

Jazz and Coffee

Whipped up this Chet Baker portrait the other morning. Love the way he looks right here. This was based off some photos from a televised performance in 1975.

The final a-frames of 2017 for Gimme! Coffee. At the end of every year I always feel like I've done more of these than I actually have. It's hard to squeeze in more than a couple every other month due to the time they take and my other obligations but I still enjoy this outlet for my work.

Thee Soul Clap Poster Show

In un-related Bathhouse news: I have some of my Soul Clap and Dance Off illustrations hanging up at the Gimme! Coffee on Lorimer St. in Brooklyn. It's the big Soul Clap 10 year anniversary bash this Friday, March 3rd so we are prepping everyone with a showing of some of my poster work. It's kind of a best of/ the hits so far assortment. Stop in and check them out all neatly placed in a row before they return to the dark corner of my studio where no one ever looks at them, or shows them any love.

Meanwhile, in between Soul Clap posters...

"The Whole Nine Yards" came from World War II. When every bit of ammo from the .50 caliber machine guns was fired from the fighter pilots planes onto a target, they got "the whole nine yards"

Went down to Asheville, NC recently to visit a good buddy of mine and we worked on some stuff together. Can't wait to see this "One Last Burger Before I Go" piece after it's fired.

More of The Gang

Some more of the faces that I've been doing on a daily basis. Not sure how I managed to draw Rick Ross, Willie Nelson and John Steinbeck all in a row, but there must be some weird underlying connection that caused me to move from one to the next.

Onward Into The Blogosphere!

Welp, blogger, it's been fun, but I've met someone new and it's time for me to go. But don't worry, I've left you with some friends to play with. If you ever want to talk or maybe get together and get some coffee sometime, you can always find me HERE.

James Woods with a little blurb about Jereme Rogers I made sure to save. I can't think of another pro skater that has had such well documented drug-induced freak-outs as him.

Kurt Cobain

Couple angles of ol' Harry Dean Stanton.

Last, but not least, Danny DeVito. If It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was The Simpsons, then you'd imagine that Charlie Kelly is Bart Simpson, the character you thought was the funniest and the coolest. But after a while you'd realize that Frank Reynolds is Homer Simpson, and that Homer Simpson was the best part about The Simpsons all along.

That's all. As I mentioned above, all future updates will be Tumblr'd
