My friend Nick just sent me a link that led to several beautiful and incredibly disturbing images like this with the above subject line. Click here to find out what you're looking at. Jordan's website is here. Intolerable Beauty and In Katrina's Wake are both pretty amazing.

New Show at Home Gallery

There's a show at Home Gallery, here in Chicago, opening this Saturday, October 24. The artists are Casey Roberts and Deedee Davis, two painters from Indianapolis. It's worth seeing. You should come.

Two Drawings

I did two commissions over the summer. The first is a reprise of a drawing that was in the Home Gallery show in April. On the deer-with-tires theme.


The second was a drawing based, by request, on the Neil Young song Human Highway. I consider it a collaboration. Thanks Neil. Click on image to get a better look.

Big Questions #13

Big Questions #13 is done. The plan is to have copies available for the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco next month (though the issue probably won't be in stores until November or December). But these things are unpredictable. The issue is 48 pages, twice as long as the last one. To the best of my abilities to estimate such things, which have in the past proven woeful, there are two more issues worth of story left to draw. The current issue also has french flaps on the cover with portraits of 16 of the main characters and some explanation of the story so far. I did this in issue number eight as well, but thought it might be time for a refresher as we approach the story's climax in the next two issues. Here are two pages from the present book:

Lula's Walls

Marianne and I recently started a blog for the art at Lula. I'll probably continue to post an image or two from new shows here, but actual info can be found at Lula's Walls. Current show features photographer Jeremy Bolen (above) and printer and book artist Kim Jae Young (below).
