A Tin Full of Tunes


Years ago, at a yard sale, I found a mysterious tin full of index cards (which I bought for $1.00). All that was typed on each card was a song title, and the name of a singer or band. The reason why these cards were made is unknown, but their sparse canvases provided a spark .  Here are a few drawings of which will hopefully be a fun series. More to come soon!







Thanks for visiting, and please check out my website to see more cool stuff!

Ezra Koenig


I attempted a portrait of Ezra Koenig, the frontman of one of my favorite bands, Vampire weekend. He’s written some beautiful tunes about Capre Cod, which sparked this idea.


Prints of this piece are available here!

It was fun to bust out some spray paint for this drawing, sparked by some ancient Roman themes.

American illustration Interview



It was an honor to participate in an interview with American Illustration, part of their DART series (Design Arts Daily). The interviewer, Peggy Roalf, asked very thoughtful questions about my map drawings, sketchbook images, what my habits are, and who my influences are. You can read the full interview here!

Seed Stories and the Power of Plants


I’m thrilled to have this piece included in a exhibition at the Staten Island Museum, April 13th-Frebruary 23, 2020. This drawing was originally commissioned by the Hudson Valley Seed Company, to illustrate a seed packet of Blue Jade Sweet Corn (a plant which originated in Mexico). The exhibit is called Field Notes: Seed Stories and the Power of Plants. You can learn more about this show here.

Muhammed Ali


He floated like a butterfly, and stung like a bee. Known as ’the Greatest’, this legendary boxer was also an civil rights activist, anti-war protester, devout Muslim, and quick-witted poet.  His legacy will float on forever.
