    This was a great night spent in a Cretan village. Seeing traditional dance and live bouzouki players was incredible. It’s the kind of night that makes you really appreciate the ability to make a reportage drawing.

    If you’ve been over to my wife Despina’s blog you know that we went on a Greek ‘odyssey’ this summer. I’ll never forget the trip for many reasons, but the most memorable for me was that for the first time I had the opportunity to visit family in another part of the world. Being welcomed […]

    Chania is the second largest city in Crete, and in my opinion the most beautiful, particularly the venetian harbor. On the water there is a venetian lighthouse and a mosque, all evidence of the rich history of this area. This reportage series was made behind the buildings facing the harbor where small alleys are lined […]

    Along with my recent illustrations for St. Louis Magazine, they ran this small piece about me and my thoughts on illustrating wine. It was cool to be asked.

    This month I have an illustration in The Scientist magazine. The article is an opinion piece with 2 views on the much debated healthcare reform. After reading the article a few times I knew I had to illustrate the confusion over how the restructured healthcare system is going to use our money. So my idea […]

    Last night I had the privilege to see my favorite band/singer Destroyer at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. I’ve been to countless shows over the past 18yrs or so and I’ve even seen Destroyer a number of times, but last night was special. He played material off of each of his EIGHT albums and even […]

    This is a drawing from one of my many trips to Disney. This drawing is from the Chinese Pavilion at EPCOT. I’m sure it’s nothing like the real thing, but it does offer a beautiful glimpse into the rich history of the culture.
