Sneak Preview

Here are some of my illustrations for the first issue of The Fine Print. You'll have to read the real deal to see the rest, though. Remember, since it doesn't cost you a dime you should pick up a copy on September 3rd!

Don't eat Cadmium Red.


If Van Gogh had wanted to stay sane, he shouldn't have eaten the Cadmium Red. That is your first lesson in "An Illustrated Guide to Eating Paint" - stick to the earth tones. They are colored with dirt, which is far less poisonous than heavy metals.

Besides giving expert advice on which pigments are edible, this blog is also aimed at helping you explore new artists, check out my latest artwork (did you see the sweet illustration to the left?), and better understand art in general. I will also be offering critiques online if you enjoy extra pain and suffering.

In short, I'm here to help you help yourself. I think. Whatever. I'm just a student myself, but I'll be happy to talk about the things I've been learning.

Art is just one of the lenses through which we view our world. Understanding will come when you can focus it better.
