Good Listening
I rarely listen to music while conceptualizing, but when I get down to working on color studies and the final art good smart music helps make better work. Here's a list of some of my favorites with a link to them in iTunes:
M Ward Belle & Sebastian Sue Jorge
Architecture In Helsinki Sufjan Stevens
Yo La Tengo Antony & The Johnsons
Spoon The Mountain Goats Deerhoof
Animal Collective The Format Gorillaz
Cake Third Day Switchfoot
Pela Menomena Iron & Wine
My Morning Jacket Danielson
Rushmore Soundtrack Rufus Wainwright
John Hiatt Soul Junk Rosie Thomas

Brick Weekly
Brick Weekly recently bought one of my promo illustrations for a cover. It's great to see work published especially promo work. It's obvious that this illustration was meant to be a Brick cover.

FARMIDABLE IS LIVE!
FARMIDABLE: I’ve become more and more interested in patterns as my illustration has progressed over the years. Last year I started making my own when I got together with a couple of friends and came up with the idea of making patterns for desktop wallpaper and selling them. We knew that there are a lot out there for free but that we could offer higher quality than the average beach scene or puppy image. We made a handful of tile patterns and built a site to offer them to the outside world. It's been a lot of work and a very fun project. The site is still in beta but everything works. Hopefully it will do well and we'll be able to continue making patterns and offering other features on the site.

Manhattan
I've been pretty busy with small illustration jobs as well as the new FARMIDABLE site (which is finally up) so I haven’t added a news post in awhile. Here's an image of a map I did of Manhattan about building projects that never became reality. It was a fun project especially since I haven’t done a map before. Not being a New Yorker I did a lot of research. It was especially interesting finding references for landmarks that don't exist.
