[Art Inside] Chickens of Hawai’i, Spooky Ladies, and Clever Kraken


Hey there, Reader

I’m doing a ton of traveling right now, but I wanted to say hello and introduce the new format for the Infrequently Updated Newsletter, which I’ve finally decided to name [Art Inside] after the note I write on the envelopes when I ship my prints (“Do Not Bend— Art Inside”).

Do you have anything you’re interested in seeing or hearing about? Let me know! Just reply to this email; it’ll land right in my inbox.

This was started over the Pacific and finished over the Gulf of Mexico

I was very lucky to be able to visit Hawai’i for the first time this fall. What an extraordinary place! I got to experience the infamous feral chickens (and Red Jungle Fowl, of which this guy is a specimen).

Took a while to finish this piece— I was already on another trip by the time he got done. I love painting birds, but not gonna lie, feathers can be pretty complex!

The Wailing Wraith and the Sacred Spring

In September, my buddy Garrett asked me to illustrate the cover for an RPG adventure he cooked up for the second Knave Game Jam. I was happy to oblige.

If you’ve never heard of it, Knave is a game system with no character classes, and seems to be well suited for quick design and loose play.

Clever Diversion Posters got an upgrade

I don’t know if I’ll ever stop tinkering with this image. The depths of the sea got deeper, the ship got a little upgrade (did you know sailing ships are complicated to draw!?). Storm clouds got stormier.

The sock is still as dumb as it is enormous.

And, there’s a t-shirt version now, too

Janu-what now? Hi Reader, Soooo... 2025 is off to a start already, isn't it? I know a lot of you are, like me, in Southern California, and if you're affected by the fires (and it has affected all of us, to varying degrees), my heart is with you. We're safe where we are on the floor of the Valley, but friends in every direction had to evacuate, and some lost their homes. So now we've got to work together to do the rebuilding. I'm not the most cash-flush person in the world, but I want to help,...

Reader, it's COLD Outside! I know, nobody wants to hear the Californian complain about the cold, when she means like, 50 degrees, but it's all relative! Fortunately, my ancient Cintiq is toasty warm when I'm drawing on it, so that can only be a good thing for the art offerings this winter. The Long-Awaited Coloring Collection Is Here!
