the Blighty

I was in Londontown last week with Mary the Queen of Sottsass. Much of the trip was top secret, but some I can share.

You should visit Nobrow, a shop in Shoreditch, only a few mere blocks from the grave of William Blake in Bunhill Fields. The shop is a beautifully curated little gallery slash comics slash illustration space. Definitely worth a look. It was only a block or so from our hotel, but we found it at a comics fair in a park several miles west. Magical.

Below you will also find a sketch I made during dinner the last night there.

Kathakali

If you like hindu mythology and/or violence and/or dance and you live in New York go check out the kathakali performance at New York’s Downtown Dance Festival.

The current issue of the New Yorker (Aug 16-23) has an illustration by yours truly in their write up of the kathakali dance.

Pick yourself up a copy or go look at it online here.

The contrarietal stars are uprising tonight

As I posted the other week I went to Cooperstown on the 25th of July to install two shows at the Smithy Gallery. One of my own work and one a group show I curated.

It was a week full of hard work and little sleep, but it came off quite nicely I believe. There were a ton of people at the opening and so far I have heard a lot of positive comments.

Here are some pics of the two shows.

Queens Ledger/Brooklyn Star

The Queens Ledger/Brooklyn Star newspapers printed a write up of me and “the Moth or the Flame” last week. I garnered the front page of the Entertainment section. Below are some pics. And you can go check it out online here.
