portrait of a Bengin

From the Art show, Imaginary Facts About Monsters, featuring artist's interpretations of the monster filled notebook created by 9 year old, Asa Smetanka.

Facts About Made Up Monsters

9 year old, Asa Smetanka filled an entire notebook with monsters of his own invention, complete with interesting names and startling abilities. A group of artists were asked to do their own interpretations of creatures from Asa's notebook. It was a lot of fun being part of this. Mine's the yellow guy in the orange sweater on the left. It's called a Bengin. It's a good monster but has also been known to choke people. The show opens Fiday the 3rd at The Zootown Arts Community Center in Missoula, MT from 5-7:30 pm. Find out more HERE!

First review

The first review for The Understanding Monster has come in from Re-view Media. I found it both funny and interesting. You can read it HERE. I've never heard the word "weird" used so many times in a review. Just for the record, nothing in these books is weirdness for weirdness sake. It really made me think about how people perceive my work, verses what it personally means to me. It's all pretty fascinating to me. At some point, I'll have to write more in depth about the logic and thought behind this story. In the meantime, it's fun getting to hear what people make of it.

S! is here!

S! (the Baltic Comics Magazine) #18 is now in print! Here's a sneak peek at the 12 page comic I drew for it. You can order copies HERE. The preview of the other artist's work I saw looks incredible. It's pretty thrilling to have work in one of my all time favorite publications. Can't wait to get this in the mail.

Skeleton Crew spy glasses

I made these paper cut out glasses for the audience to wear while watching the Mystery Mark theatrical production. It was amazing to see a whole room of people with Skeleton spy glasses.

Photos from Mystery Mark

The theatrical production of Mystery Mark was put on by Viscosity Theater at the Fringe Festival this past weekend in Missoula, MT. It felt like a huge success! It was so surreal to see the group efforts of these excellent, talented friends come together. This is hopefully just the beginning of some very big ideas we hope to make happen. Stay tuned!

Shirts!

We just got these Mystery Mark Shirts made just in time for the show tonight. Huge thanks to our friends over at Garage Ts.
