Reggie

Here are a few pics for an interactive comics project I made with Vinyl Vagabonds.  I procured five thrift store record sleeves and created characters and a narrative.  The main character, Reggie, is a "lovable record slob."  Basically a hobbit with a heart who has a nearly all consuming vinyl hobby.  The project is on display at Cardinal Gallery in Baltimore.  Go check it out.

Cartoonists Draw Blood in NW DC

Met some lovely bleeders for some voluntary blood donation via the Red Cross and Palisades Community Church in NW DC.  Myself and fellow Cartoonists Draw Blood alums (Carolyn, Joe, Troy, Joe, Steven, and Art) donated art-making time and here are several my works from the day.

Because a dog happened.

Liz and I got deep.

This guy was from L.A. so therefore this.

Tell me you garden flowers and I put them on your head.

Not really sure what happened here, but I like it.

 

Skull, obviously.

P.S. Don't forget about the art show in Mt. Ranier at ReCreative Spaces.  Opening night party with badassassins and Vinyl Vagabonds is October 28th!
