Jonathan Weiner

I recently did a illustration for the Village Voice! A portrait of the Pulitzer Prize winning author, Jonathan Weiner. The article was an interview with him on the idea of immortality. I felt that, with his previous books and the idea of rejuvenating or even perennial life in nature, it would be an interesting setting for the portrait.

Motif | Thought Processor NYC

Hey everybody, The Thought Processor was really cool. A bunch of cool looking people showed up. I wasn't there for long- just passing through. It's still up so if you have the chance you should check it out.

I did this piece for the show. It's untitled there but I've since named it Motif. Sorry for the confusion. Hope you like it. Some of you may have already seen it and if that's the case... look at it again! It's 18 x 24 and done in Ink and Watercolor. All of that aging or... I guess just damage, is actually on the paper. I've played around with watercolor washes over some smaller pieces but never with some as big as this. When it started to happen- you could say I went into a bit of a panic but I later decided to embrace it and push it even further. Fortunately, the results came out looking pretty interesting.

Anyway, I'm trying to keep busy. I'll keep you posted with anything I'm up to. More coming soon.

More work coming...

Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't been posting all that much lately, I'm working on a few jobs here and there and I'm trying to do some personal stuff on top of that. In other words, I'll have some to put up hopefully soon.

Thought Processor|NYC Series

Hope to see you there! I have a piece up along with a paper doll I designed and put together. The doll was a bit hectic to build but the final outcome was worth it. Like it says in the invitation, the show opens May 21st and the opening party is from 6 to 9. All of the pieces and dolls will be on sale so maybe you'll find something you can't leave without or just go for the... atmosphere. Sure! I'm starting a few more things this week so I'll keep you posted.
