For those who haven’t been, Artomatic is the biggest art show in DC featuring over 1000 artists on 11 floors. Opening night is 6:00pm, Friday, May 18th!
I am showing my work on the 11th floor in room 1147 alongside the lovely Emily Greene Liddle. I have 3 new large pieces and 6 smaller pieces. Here is a peek at the corner of one of the large pieces…
So, if you are come out opening night, stop by and say hi. If you can’t make it, the show will be up through June. Check out artomatic.org for details and directions. It’s pretty much right next to the metro.

Hey everyone. I’m hiring a Senior Designer to work for PBS KIDS Interactive! The job post was a little dry so I decided to make a VISUAL JOB POST that would appeal to someone like me who has the skills but doesn’t read anything :D

I am excited to unveil two awesome “Game of Thrones” prints heavily inspired by both season one of the show and book one! I’ve been a huge fan ever since I watched the show and started reading the books (I’m on book three). Trust me, they are amazing.
I’ve been messing around with drawing the characters for fun since the show ended and after getting a good response (including an email from super cool series producer and writer DBW), I’ve decided to make them available.
Have a look. I think my favorites are Jon Snow, Robert Baratheon, Bran Stark and Cersei Lannister…

The prints come from inprnt.com and the quality is amazing. I’ve got one in my house and it’s very nice.

Thanks everyone who came out to the opening on Friday! Aside from the rain (not my fault), it was a big success.
