Plague Rider.

8 x 10 gouache on illustration board.

All Aboard! Painting after childhood drawing.

 7 x 5" gouache on illustration board

This is my piece for a very fun show called Homeroom in November. Artists were asked to pick a piece of art they did as a kid and reimagine it as a piece they would do today. 

My old piece was this one, a drawing of my best friend Otis driving my school bus. In life, as in his imaginary occupations, Otis was never far away when popcorn was around.

EIN ARBEITSLOSER WENIGER

I've made another tiny art-book.

This one is Ein Arbeitsloser Weniger, 1.5 x 2.5" paper and ink-jet print hand-made accordion-fold art book, filled with ten different soldiers from various imaginary wars, in various states of life or injury. The book fits neatly into its own tiny government-manila envelope, ready for convenient filing away...

Ein Arbeitsloser Weniger is one less man out of work.

Ein Arbeitsloser Weniger because the state has sent them to war.

Ein Arbeitsloser Weniger because they won't come home.

You can purchase Ein Arbeitsloser Weniger here.

FOR EVERY BOOK SOLD this month, I will donate $1 to Occupy Wall Street. You can find more information on their efforts here, or by searching #occupywallstreet on Twitter, and you can donate directly here.
