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).
Michael Moriarty goes in a bar and plays piano.

Knicks drawings

The Knicks season has started off well, and I've been doing quick drawings after each victory. (If you're counting, you know they've won 7, but there are only six here. I missed a drawing because of travel.)

Made this as a gift for my friend Elizabeth (check out her great comics and art), who is a friend of Odds Against Tomorrow, which I recommend.

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.

Lots of stuff for the Brooklyn Academy of Music lately. Here's a personal illustrated essay about television inspired by the new show at BAM called The Channel.

"I Don't Get It"

An animated short I made with Ben Cohen for the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Robert Wilson goes to see Einstein on the Beach (which he directed) and sits down with Arthur Miller at BAM.

David Byrne on a bike

David Byrne designed bike racks for BAM. They are in shapes that can be built to make letters, and those letters can be arranged (by the authorities in charge of the racks) to make words. There are only a handful of letters available, so you can't just have it spell anything you want. Right now they say "pink crown" and "micro lip." I did the illustration for the listing on the site about these things.
