Chicago people! Take note of this rad thing happening, and come see me and various homies who also make art. It's a little market/ gallery show/ party. #Chicago #Chicagoart #chicagoartist

Ink and watercolor, each 11" x 14". Just a couple more small details and this commission is done. #watercolor #illustration

A part of one of the several commissions I'm working on. If you're waiting for me to finish one, thanks for being patient! #illustration

A couple things about these calendars I put up: they can be folded on the sides so they stand on their own, and at the end of the year you can cut the months off and be left with a print that fits in a standard 4" X 6" frame. Link to my shop in my bio. #calendar #illustration

About to print these little calendars...they'll be up in my shop tonight. #calendar #illustration #screenprint

Do people like small prints or small books more? Or big prints? All of the above? This is the book I made last spring (link in profile). I like printing my drawings at actual size, but that's just me. #illustration #selfpublishing #screenprinting

Progress on this snowy alleyway scratchboard. It will be the image for my 2016 calendars I'm finishing this week. #illustration #scratchboard

Trying some scratchboard for the first time since high school and after an hour on little little piece my hand is totally wrecked. #illustration #scratchboard
