Another Color Pencil Test
I think I need to get some more pencils - I'm getting a kind of sick of this palette. I'm not able to get to the studio much these days - so I'm taking some crash sketchbooks and experimenting with ways to add color at home. (A new record! Eight references to myself in this short post - including these 2 uses of the word 'myself').

Artforum's Citic Pick
Critic's Pick for TimeOut NY
TimeOut NY chose my show as a 'critic's pick - best in drawing' this week! It's funny that it's next to PS.1's Greater New York. I was in the first one of those 10+ years ago.

Interview!
There's a great blog called "Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast," and I was lucky enough to be interviwed for it! The site as a great resource for people wanting to know more behind the people that create children's books.
book store in brooklyn
Best looking storefront I've ever seen. Its from WORD on the corner of Franklin and Milton Streets in the historic district of Greenpoint Brooklyn. Looks like they got their Junior Deducer score cards too! I didn't know those were out in the world yet!
Show Poster!
These signed, letter
press, 2-color posters (about 11" x 20" or so) will be available through the Adam Baumgold Gallery and via McSweeney's. I know Baumgold has them now (212-861-7338, abaumgold@aol.com) and if you call he'l send you one for around $10, I think. Archival ink hand-printed on archival paper. None of that ink-jet crap here, folks. BTW - the top left corner has been cut off on all of them. Why? Because it looks COOL.
Stage two on bricks
Stage 2 is DONE!
The 'room' pieces have been watercolored, finally. I took this picture on my living room carpet because I drew, inked and painted these all at home. Tomorrow I'll cut 'em out and glue them to a large, prepared piece of paper with lots of bricks and windows already drawn on it.
Progress...
Room Interiors in Ink
I still have to watercolor these, draw the exterior of the building in which they will be housed, and glue them on to that building. But this is the layout. Click to enlarge.
The posters have been distributed throughout the land!
