This is Anne. She’s a sharp and savvy business lady with a lot of class. Not only is she founder of Moneybagz Productionz and Two Bitches and a Kitten she also finds the time to share her talents and knowledge as an education business consultant for a European luxury haircare brand. Anne has a well deserved reputation as a top-shelf party organizer and hostess. In the know and possessing a keen awareness of style, the arts and current events, her soirees are always fresh and never frozen. It’s important for cosmopolitan business folk, such as Anne to have a portrait of themselves displayed proudly over their desk or featured prominently in their parlor and I am honored that she thinks highly enough of my work to allow it to meet that need.

If You Don’t Have Haters Yr Doing Something Wrong, 2001 graphite on paper (appropriation) This is an end of semester evaluation I received from one of my illustration instructors in college. I had hoped to avoid this person’s class all together after overhearing him talking around the building and seeing examples of his work. Alas, he instructed one of the core classes in my degree plan. One of my more favorite memories from that class, other than his dithering feckless critiques, was, when showing examples of work he had done for Sesame Street Magazine (in the mid 1980’s), a student remarked that working for that publication must have been fun, he replied “Yeah, but I had to do a lot of revisions..like they would want me to put a Black kid here, an Asian kid here… or a kid in a wheelchair in it….who thinks of that?”  Oh and the time a Nigerian student did a piece decrying Shell Oil’s dealings in his homeland. After giving a very in depth explanation of his piece the instructor turned to him and said, “wow I’ve never heard about this.”  -_- Upon receiving this I balled it up and threw it out. A few minutes later I decided to retrieve it….for my grudge archive.  What kind of teacher ends an evaluation with a catty rhetorical question anyway? FTG.

Acryl Bloemen, 2008    acrylic and charcoal on 61cm x 101cm 75lb paper “I brought you these… to cheer up the room.”                           - every hospital recovery room scene ever filmed When I googled the above phrase, to see if I could get an exact reference, the third result was this, and supports my thesis entitled “Flowers and Doom : The Fragile Warriors and The Abominable Beast Named Actuality von Reality“©. Additionally, the linked site’s domain name is also a “noteworthy-in-it’s-mundanity” theme that I imagine I’ll address in the future. Acryl Bloemen is my first piece having flowers as the subject. I was inexplicably compelled to do render flowers during a nadir in 2008. Subsequently, I gained a modicum of solace.

Untitled Page from a Sketchbook (Coffee)  2008 29cm x 21 cm graphite on paper When I start a new sketchbook (as I am currently) I first review a few of it’s predecessors, to time travel, see if progress has been made/critique, and to scavenge any bits of idea-flesh that may remain overlooked on the carcass. In 2008 I was balls deep in office culture, bored and drank a lot of coffee to cope with the aforementioned circumstances.

This is Sean. He’s a fairly wry and humorous guy, urbane within reason and quite intelligent. I met Sean several years ago at a rock club. Our bands (he was actually in two) played frequent shows together, many of whose flyers I made. Eventually Sean asked me to do the cover art for one of his bands album’s…and I did, since I was a fan of the music, like making shit, and there was a little money in it. These days Sean is some kind of writer or something and he’s pretty good at it too. Seeing that his livelihood depends on literacy it is congruous that he acquire Secret Code No. 19 (Whatever, Just Fucking Read).
