March is almost over and that means I have just over 6 weeks until graduation. This may be the most exciting thing I have ever said, as well as the most terrifying. Life outside of school seems so strange and mysterous...
Today I have for you all an entry to the fourth annual Words On Wheels program run by the MTA. Always good to give back to the community that I can't wait to graduate and move away from.

It never ends, you guys, it just never ends. Two new pieces done today and ready for your viewing pleasure; the first is a poster for Shakespeare's "The Tempest," viewable here. The second piece is me trying to see how much awesomeness I could fit into 17 inches of bristol board. It can be seen, should you be so inclined to look, on the front page and with a tad more detail in the gallery.
I hope you all enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed staying up all night. Cheers.

I spent hours doing a complete overhaul on the site today, and the ironic thing is that no one but me is going to be able to tell that anything is different. The ftp is so neatly organized now, and the links are so much more tidy. The site is ready to switch servers at any time. That makes me feel better, at least. New pieces soon.

I just found out that one of my pieces was accepted into the Society of Illustrators student competition. It's very exciting, but I don't have time to celebrate. I need to get a high-quality print matted and shipped off to New York by tomorrow. You'd think I maybe could have gotten a little better warning or something. No time to write more, need to run to the school store!

MICA's spring break started yestarday and everyone is off somewhere relaxing. I'm still here, though, hunched over in the studio trying to get some new stuff done. Two new pieces today: Shaboozie and Klamstwo. The word in Shaboozie is intentionally hard to read, and the title of Klamstwo is in Polish.

Hey, now this is new! There's never been a news section here before, has there?
