In addition to working as an illustrator and graphic designer, I am also a clown. Below are some pictures of the premiere of a piece we did at the Chi-town Clown Revue, which was a great deal of fun. All of the acts had great energy and were exciting. Go team.

I do two things: Dash off quick drawings and smoke. I’m liking this style.

which, for the record, is bad for you.

TONIGHT, go see SUPERGIRL at the Neofuturarium.

COMICS: For the past two months, I’ve been hired to work on a graphic novel for an ad agency. This has kept me obscenely busy. I can’t say much about it, but I feel frakin’ awesome and am learning a lot about sequential art. It is also paying my B-I-L-L-S.

Also, I am taking part in Redmoon’s production of Astronaut’s Birthday, which is a five-story high LIVE graphic novel that will take place in August. It is going to be a really beautiful and wacky project, more on that to come.

CLOWNING: July 25th, there is a Clown Revue at the Neofuturarium. I will be performing a piece that probably involves puppets and the destruction of said puppets. I am also possibly going to be organizing a massive food fight for said event. So if you want to come to a big party with 6-8 clown acts, a four-square tourny, dangerous and cool shit, as well as a whole lot of mess, check it out.

Also, in August, my play Gérard’s Birthday Party is going to be performed by the Harlotry and Necromancy Appreciation Society at the Abbie Hoffman Died for Our Sins Festival here in Chicago. I am directing and performing in it. Here’s a short description of that: “Three clowns attempt to throw a birthday party with all the necessary ingredients: presents, hats, cake, party games, and of course, a captive audience. It ends in shrimp and death.”
