They&#8217;re all sorted into their appropriate places in the galleries section of course, so you can check &#8216;em out there.

		<title>Unhelpful Photoshop tutorial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other month I was playing around with another Halloween themed photoshop so here&#8217;s my beginner level tutorial: Step 1: If you&#8217;re going to do a portrait start with a mirror or a photo for reference. This will make everything easier. Because lets face it, you&#8217;re hopped up on caffeine and your memory has never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mucha &amp; Pin-ups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dames! Drinks! Drawing! BIKES! If you don&#8217;t know about the Dr. Sketchy&#8217;s live drawing scene you should definitely check it out, it&#8217;s a ton of fun. Here&#8217;s the Tandem Tootsies poster I did for this months New Haven, CT chapter. Sort of a mash up of Mucha designs and pin-up girls. &#8216;Dr. Sketchy New Haven [...]]]></description>

		<title>FIRE!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christopher Joe, a great comic art collector and creator of Epsilon Realm recently asked me to do a pin-up for his book. I accepted, and since this wouldn&#8217;t require a logo up top I filled the top portion of the page with fire and a jumping character. Well, when Chris saw the pencils he liked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween &amp; Photoshop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although I don&#8217;t usually worry about coloring my artwork I do, on occasion, enjoy splashing around the old virtual paintbrush and have, again on occasion, tried to look up a new technique or tip from a tutorial. I find it entertaining that much like the old &#8216;how to draw&#8217; instruction booklets from my childhood, these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fashion and Marie Claire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently gave an interview to Marie Claire mag (int) and was asked to do a piece for them relating to my work and also women&#8217;s fashion. This seemed natural to me since I&#8217;m known as something of a fashion icon around here (North America). I&#8217;ve rocked the always-in-style shaved head and have exclusively worn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brains on the Brain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a quick sketch I did for a side project I&#8217;m working on. I really have a thing for sepia tones, and muted tones in general. Which is surprising for a comic artist since as a kid I was attracted to comics precisely because of all the bright colors. Perhaps it&#8217;s a maturity thing, like [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;M JEREMY IRONS YOU LITTLE #%@!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So a few months ago I was trying to watch Eragon. Emphasis on trying . I kept falling asleep. The only thing it had going for it was that Jeremy Irons&#8217; performance was crushing the main character. All I could think of was the Irons periodically busting out screaming &#8220;I&#8217;M JEREMY IRONS YOU LITTLE #%@!&#8221; [...]]]></description>
