Wedding Invitations

Did some illustrations for wedding invitations. The couple's names are Tim and Tami, so they had me draw things that are called "Tim Tam," like a popular racehorse, a semi-famous dog, and a packaged cookie. The printer blogged about it here.

Q (The Winged Serpent)

I made this comic for a birthday present.
This is a snapshot of it.
It's my favorite scene in Larry Cohen's great movie Q (The Winged Serpent).

Biographile: Leonard Cohen and Neil Young

There's a new biography of Leonard Cohen out called I'm Your Man by Sylvie Simmons, who also wrote a Serge Gainsbourg bio. And Neil Young has written memoir called Waging Heavy Peace. Biographile asked me to check them out and draw something. Here's what I came up with. 


They are on the Biographile website here and here.
