Towers II and III
Towers II & IIIInk + Digital. 2011. A friend of mine was asking me how I make these drawings, so I’m going to extrapolate from that that other people may be interested to know. They’re all done a bit differently, but essentially I start with a line drawing. This is one I did in my sketchbook while waiting for visitors at E.A.S.T. I then scan it into Photoshop, use the magic wand...

The front entry way, with Melissa Cha’s prints on the left. Hounds of Love crest by Hiromi Ueyoshi. My piece at the end of the hall, Endless, sold to a renowned local artist. All paintings tend to look about the same size online. This should give you some scale of Gothra. My paintings will look great over your mantlepiece! Buy today!/end plug Me doodling as I wait for visitors. EAST...

Dissolution
‘Dissolution’24” x 24”Acrylic. 2011. Another new square-format painting. I’m working in squares partially because it’s a challenge compositionally, but also because I’m thinking of record album sleeves. I’m working on the design for Single Lash’s debut LP. More about that at a later time. E.A.S.T is next weekend so I’ll be fully...

Monolith
‘Monolith’36” x 36”Acrylic. 2011. New painting finally completed. This one is clearly quite different from its predecessors as the initial observations for this work were made from an actual model. It was constructed with cardboard and playdough. I think the fact that this particular environment was directly observed gives the finished product an uncanny quality. Yes,...

Monsters
Monster I9” x 10”Mixed Media. 2011. Monster II9” x 10”Mixed Media. 2011. Continuing along similar lines to my recent comic, I have here two mixed media drawings of monsters. They were done primarily with acrylic, ink and Prisma. The drawings were done for the upcoming Monster Show at Austin’s Domy Books. I really recommend checking Domy out if you’re in the...

Dimensions
It has been a while since I’ve posted drawings here, I know. Well let me remedy that by posting for your enjoyment the first comic I’ve drawn in my “adult” life. No superheroes here. (‘Nickman’ has been retired, but my likeness is heavily featured here.) It’s for the upcoming Dimensions III collection published by my good friend Zejian Shen. As a...

This one really needs to be seen in person. The triangular shape near the top of the composition is painted in ‘Interference Orange’ and has a beautiful sheen.

D.18” x 36”Acrylic. 2011.
New commissioned piece. The typographical element was requested by the client but I think it suggests interesting possibilities for future paintings. What do you think?
My painting Heaven Sent is featured in the latest edition of Beautiful/Decay. The reproduction is actually quite good, although I did have to crop it to fit their format. Speaking of, I...

Endless
Endless Acrylic. 2011 I’ve been working on this series now since a bit before I graduated from RISD- which was almost a year ago. Man, time really flies. The good news is that I clearly don’t require the school environment to stay motivated. In fact, I feel like I’ve been thriving creatively...

Noise Artifacts
NOT NOT FUN house show 3/19/11 from Melissa Cha on Vimeo. The always-amazing Melissa Cha, shot and edited this footage of our recent Hounds of Love show with Not Not Fun. The whole week of SXSW was a total blast and it all seemed to culminate on the 19th into what has to be one of the best nights of my life. If you’ve watched the video, you’ll understand that we have some seriously...

Mediations (Portrait of a Woman)
I just completed a portrait of someone I’ve never met, nor have I any idea who she is. It was done in conjunction with Austin artist Kathleen Shafer and a project she’s doing that will eventually incorporate several images of this woman rendered by different artists. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure what her project is about but as soon as I saw this photo in a stack of...

Medicine- New Single Lash EP
Here’s a Valentine from my band, Single Lash. The album art was designed by me using a photograph by the brilliant Melissa Cha. We have some exciting news for SXSW, but I’ll save that for later.
Access Fantasy
‘Access Fantasy’ Acrylic. 2011 This is an 8”x10” painting undertaken in exactly the same fashion as the (relatively) massive ‘HeavenSent’, but with one very small brush. A lot of effort for such a small piece.

HeavenSent Acrylic. 2011. As promised, here is my latest painting, the relative behemoth of my latest body of work at 62” by 70”. With this piece, I feel like I’ve reached a milestone. The vision I’ve been working for these past few months is coalescing more solidly than ever and I feel very...

Grey Noises
Grey Noises IInk on Paper2010 Grey Noises IIInk on Paper2010. Updates have been sparse as of late because of two things: 1) Holiday lethargy (aka I’m lazy) 2) (More excitingly) I’ve been working on a 60x72” painting and it is now nearing completion! I’ve set up in my garage, using large brushes and rollers to make a work in which one can contemplate each mark, but that...
