Pizza Kat T-shirt

Back in 2022, the fine folks at Pizza Kat Pizza in Portland, OR reached out and asked if they could use the drawing I did of a street cat on an abandoned motorcycle in Athens, Greece for a small run of t-shirts for their shop staff and patrons. Well, after a change of address and some confusion, the shirt finally landed in my hands. 

I drew this back in 2016 and I love that people still reach out to me about it. It's probably one of my favorite drawings that I've done and it's pretty fun to see it on a t-shirt after just living on a page in a 7yr old sketchbook.

The shirts are sold out but if you do live in Portland, OR I recommend you stop by their spot anyways because I see their pies on instagram all the time and they look damn good.

A Series of Johns

John Lurie

Since my steady Soul Clap & Dance-Off poster gig stopped abruptly back in March 2020, I haven't really been drawing a lot of people this past year. I was given the opportunity to teach a few afternoon art classes about portraiture/caricature recently and I decided I should brush up on something that is (was?) a big part of my career: drawing faces. 

I got going on this trend of drawing people named John accidentally and then after I noticed there was about 3 in a row in my sketchbook, I just rolled with it and did a few more until I felt sort of burnt on it. I've included each John with their full name below.
