Something... 3d?!

Got my hands on a cool craft kit during ComicCon back in October and finally sat down to complete it! This little guy is from woolbuddy.com.

Needlefelting might be my new hobby for 2014!

Happy New Year!

Everything is betting with fangs.

I was also a busy-bee making a surprise gift for my best friend who after 10 years of dating was finally engaged to her beau. I could only think of one way to give them something that was personal and special- a "coat of arms" if you will of their relationship thus far.

And of course it features bacon.

The only downer is in my excitement I totally forgot to take a scan or a really good photo of the piece! So enjoy this blurry little selection! And congrats to Anisha & Justin.

Framed and everything! Oolala!

Being a PRO.

I attended an Opportunity Fair at my alma mater the Pratt Institute today and had some promo pieces made up for it! Loooooook.

Nothing says being a professional ready for hire better than a postcard with a hairy cactus. Trust me.

Postcards & Resumes

I also made a little book to give away. Did you know you can easily make an 8-page booklet out of one sheet of paper? I originally learned this in a book-making course at Pratt. Easy to do and a nice little token! Here's a simple instructional site you can follow: http://www.fimp.net/makeabook.html

Interior & Finished Product

Aww, little fleet.

It was nice to step back onto the Pratt campus! Though I'm still in Brookyln and not that far away it's been a while since I saw my favorite rat sitting on his laurels. :)

Old stomping grounds

Hey buddy.

All in all a great day. Met some great creatives and hopefully future coworkers. Use your resources, kids. And you know, chins up, follow your dreams.

Another little update...

Slowly and unsteadily I will eventually update

my Midnight Eggroll more frequently.

Until then here's a rhino that's

probably as disgruntled as you are.

Andy & Sarah

Sometimes you're lucky enough to have friends who have known you since your age was a single digit. My friend Rae is one of those people. And sometimes you're lucky enough to watch two of your friends who are in love get married, and start their lives together.
Rae's friends Andy & Sarah are two of those people.

Rae wanted to give Andy & Sarah something personal and fun for their wedding day, so he asked me to do a portrait and an inside-joke of sorts for his friends.

Congratulations and much happiness to Andy & Sarah!

(I hope to meet you one day if I ever get my ass in gear to visit Rae.)

(Sorry, Rae.)

the lovely couple

and one day they'll own a plot of land for them and their friends
(or so I'm told...)

Calvin & Aleza: A Couple in Pictures

I had the great enjoyment of drawing a friend of mine's wedding gift for one of his best friends! Together with my creative partner-in-crime/roommate extraordinaire, Sarah, we made a book of drawings of the soon-to-be-wed couple doing some of their favorite things together. Here is a smattering of some of the pieces, I'll make sure to show off Sarah's incredible book in the next post...

Welcome to Disneyworld!

Can't take this kid anywhere!

It's been a year...

Well... probably more than a year. I'M SORRY! In all honesty, I've been quite busy. I've relocated twice (still in New York, currently in Brooklyn), I went to IRELAND (and England), and I adopted a cat! So... you know. Be nice.

But what's that you say?! You don't really care about my personal woes-- you're all like MENDELSON, WHERE IS THE ART?

Fine.

Fine.

Here comes some art. I hope you all like it.
