BCGF + GR Post-it show

2011-11-22T11:28:00.000-08:00

I have a placement again at this year's Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival! Last year was overwhelming, with such a crazy turn out, and this year will be amazing as well. The festival will take place on Saturday, December 3rd, at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with panels and satellite events going on at Union Pool nearby. For the incredible list of exhibitors and other details check out the BCGF site.

I did some post-it art for a show at Giant Robot LA, which opens December 10 and will remain on display until the end of the month for the shopping season. Doing these post-its were a lot of fun! With dozens and dozens of cartoonists involved, if you're in the area be sure not to miss this!

Whitney Museum's Zine Day event.

2011-10-25T13:31:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of pics from the Whitney Museum's zine day event, organized by Desert Island, which took place a couple Saturdays ago, October 15. It was a kid friendly event so the museum did a cool project where all of the participating artists had a stack of screenprinted individual black and white illustration available (courtesy of the Museum) for attendees to collect for free and staple into their very own coloring book, pretty neat!

APE and San Francisco Recap

2011-10-07T12:13:00.000-07:00

San Francisco was beautiful as always! The weather was perfect this time around. APE was so much fun this year, I thought it was my 4th consecutive year but Jon Vermilyea told me it's my 5th?? I am completely losing track. APE is always awesome and I don't think I will ever stop exhibiting. Here is my recap of the trip, photo diary style:

I had the pleasure of hosting two lovely young ladies this time around. Pictured here are my friends Jess and Diana on top of a hill.

We got tacos at one of my all time favorite Mexican places, El Metate in Potrero/Mission area.

Here is Jon and Hilary playing some pinball at the Lasp Gasp warehouse.

Jess and Diana help me set up my table!

Post-APE dim sum with my ladies!

I did really well at APE! I sold out every advanced copy I brought of my new "don't follow me." I will have more copies available next weekend at Whitney Museum's very own Zine Day(!) as well as Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest coming up in December in Brooklyn, NY.

New book for APE "don't follow me"

2011-09-27T11:32:00.000-07:00

Here are some quick photos of what I've been caught up with making during the past week.

About to catch my flight to LA shortly, and spending this weekend in SF! I will have advanced copies of "don't follow me" available at APE this weekend (fresh off the racks), along with the debut of "hot+cold". I will also have new prints available at my table, if you're in the Bay Area be sure to stop by!

October Events

2011-09-12T19:39:00.000-07:00

Plenty of things going on in October! The show I was in at Alternative Cafe in Monterey is traveling to My Plastic Heart gallery in the Lower East Side in Manhattan! The show opens September 30th and runs throughout October.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the opening reception because I will be in San Francisco exhibiting at Alternative Press Expo the weekend of October 1st and 2nd. It's going to be a great time as usual! I'm always excited whenever I visit my hometown, beautiful San Francisco. I have a different table placement this year, find me at table #540.

I'm also participating in a zine day at the Whitney Museum organized by Desert Island, which takes place October 15 Saturday afternoon. It's a kid friendly event and all the artists will have a special made print available for attendees to collect into a book. Not to be missed!

Philly photos + PACC

2011-08-25T11:01:00.000-07:00

I had a great time in Philly! Here are some photos from my trip:

My friend Megan in awe of the Philadelphia train station architecture.

The next day we stood in line for Philly cheese steaks from Pat's and Geno's, which are across the street from each other. Here I am standing in the long line which stretched out into the middle of the road! Blocking traffic at some points. The verdict was split between the two places, you can't go wrong with either, also cheese wiz is the best cheese!

Here we are walking through Independence Square.

View from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, watching people reenact the Rocky scene.

My table at Philly Alt Comic Con! Me and Jess behind the table, Diana is on the side sporting my tote bag. :)

The view behind my table.

Heading into Monk's Cafe for some Belgium fare with my friends Deo and Pete for our last dinner in Philly!

Lastly, here is a photo of show taken from the PACC blog post. Go there for more great photos and a good bucket list of what the festival is all about.

Super DIY, super fun.

Philly Alt Comic Con 2011!

2011-08-07T13:19:00.000-07:00

I am currently preparing for my trip to Philly Alt Comic Con (PACC) next weekend and I am so frikkin' excited about it! I am going through a lot of firsts this year, this will be my first time stepping into Philly (not just passing by it like when I went to Lancaster back in 2008 for a gallery show of mine) and I'll be road tripping with a group of friends. I will have a full table with plenty of books and prints available. I'm predicting it's going to be a crazy outta control good time, possibly this kind of good time:

printing tote bags

2011-07-12T14:57:00.000-07:00

Don't get squirted! Or do. Yesterday I went grocery shopping right after I printed and the cashier nearly freaked out because she thought my arm was bleeding but I was just squirted with red...

I still have a hard time printing tote bags but I think they came out ok this time around. It's hard because the paint has to be thick but all I want to do is water it down, but you would run the risk of the image bleeding...

Also, bags take longer to print because I am re-registering each individual bag for every single color, so much work! Here I am registering to print blue, making sure everything is aligned.

Yellow paint with transparencies. This was the easiest separation to print. If all the colors are mixed right it has vibrant results.

Before all the printing begins I iron all the bags, wrinkles in the fabric gets in the way of the paint. I use a blow-dryer to each bag for every layer of color that is printed.

All this paper I use because some way or another I mess up printing the line in-between. Maybe one day I'll get to use one of those carousels, but this will do for now!

"Bad Luck Club" opens July 8th in Monterey!

2011-06-19T12:59:00.000-07:00

I will have two new pieces, including the print featured in the post below, in the show "Bad Luck Club" at Alternative Cafe in Monterey, CA. The show is curated by my friend Aya Kakeda, whose work I adore! If you are in the west coast, stop by the beautiful town of Monterey and check out the show! The opening reception will take place on the evening of July 8th, from 7-10PM. The show will remain on display until August 7th.

CMYK guide for "Forest Fire" print

2011-06-08T16:13:00.000-07:00

With my own custom CMYK colors, of course. If magenta was a diluted rocket red, and blacK is instead browN. CRYN? Maybe not as good of an acronym. :)

"Forest Fire" is going on exhibit in an upcoming gallery show, which opens in July in Monterey, CA. Details very soon!

Recap: TCAF and Toronto!

2011-05-15T13:18:00.000-07:00

my table at TCAF!

I had an amazing time in Toronto!! I met sooooo many new people, ate so much amazing food and experienced some new beers. Toronto is definitely a place I want to revisit again and again. :)
TCAF was an incredible time. It reminded me of Brooklyn Comic Fest a bit, except larger scale. The free admission definitely makes a huge difference. This festival had a diverse and friendly crowd without being overwhelming the way Brooklyn Fest was. My tote bags did surprisingly well, I'm used to only selling maybe a few, but I actually ran out of all the Lemon + Lime totes that I brought, I even had a few people asking for them after they ran out! :O
My comics and silkscreen books also did really well. I found TCAF a more enjoyable festival than Stumptown, but this is my first time exhibiting both events that have evolved so much over the decade. I would love to do both festivals again if I get the chance!

Having tex-mex brunch at Sneaky Dee's! With Irme, Taylor and their friends Agatha and Laura (pictured below)

The Dunking Donuts of Toronto, or as they call it, "Timmies" This was Deo's dream come true.

Exploring the Distillery District where we had a sake tasting, some artisanal gelato, and a cheese sampling at a place that imports from Quebec! Plus we strolled around with the cutest dog in the world, Murray!

Embarking onto Kensington Market! Where we had family style tacos at "El Trompo"

Post-TCAF karaoke-ing! Pictured here are Hellen Jo, Calvin Wong, Ryan Sands, and Jen Wang.

This is the infamous Canadian dish called Poutine, consisting of french fries slathered with gravy and topped with cheese curds!! This is the classic. Next time I visit I want to try poutine with pulled pork on top...or bacon....! The accompanying drink is called a Ceaser, which is Canada's bloody mary, except it's spicier and more savory, the extra ingredient is clam juice! yumm yum!

Photos above (basically all the good looking ones) taken by my close friend Deo, he is the best traveling companion!

Portland recap + TCAF

2011-04-24T14:10:00.000-07:00

I'm tabling at TCAF this year for the first time and I'm so excited! I'm also stoked about visiting Toronto Canada for the first time, I am getting there via 11 hour bus ride (!!!) and I might have a buddy traveling with me to explore Toronto with. (yippeeeee!!!)

outside of Guapo comics and coffee

Portland was AMAZING.... I had the best time, thanks to some new friends who were incredible hosts. Stumptown was an interesting convention, I've never seen so many pirates in one place, although Amy (of Pony Club) mentioned to me that the pirate thing was something new this year. Anyway, the screen-print posters were a hit. You can now find some of my prints at Pony Club Gallery!

Here I am at my table, photo taken by Jen Vaughn. She did a great recap of the fest on The Beat. One guy bought my new "hot + cold" book as a wedding present for his friend who, if I remember correctly, is an architect getting married to his other friend who is a poet. I thought it was very touching! And yes, my books can make a great wedding present! :)

Portland is all kinds of wonderful. There were instances where I could see myself living there, even! But instead I think I will visit there, a lot! Here are some highlights of my trip:

some of the yummiest biscuits n gravy I've ever had at Pine State Biscuits on Belmont!

Bicycle fencing :)

any coffee lovin' town is my kinda town!

All the way North at Cathedral Park, where the grass is so tall...

Walking through Irving Park on my way to Mississippi St.

Stumptown + stuff I got at MoCCA!

2011-04-10T14:05:00.001-07:00

I am exhibiting next weekend at Stumptown Comic Fest in Portland, OR! You can find me at table e-5 (map here) where I will have all of my screen-printed books, poster prints, totes (while supplies last!) and much more. Stumptown 2011 will also mark the debut of my brand new book, titled "hot + cold" Be sure to stop by and take a look! And if you love it it will be available for purchase. :)

my new book!

Here's some of the swag I got from MoCCA Fest 2011. Highlights include Ray Sohn's Pyramid Lake, Eamon Espey's "Death Deals", some of the "diary" series by Gabriel Bell, a bunch of square mini comics from the Finnish comic collective, screen-printed + b&w mixed minis from Alabaster, a fully screen-printed little book gifted to me by Jake Armstrong titled "What me and Tommy saw". The newest Secret Prison. Sammy Harkham's "Cricket"! Which I wanted but missed during Brooklyn Comic Fest back in December. And a Noel Freibert comic "Mr. Cellar's Attic" with screen-printed cover. :) "Secret Victories" by Victor Kerlow. Plus these precious letter-pressed coasters by Nick Iluzada! I don't even use coasters but I had to have these, I don't even know if I will use these as coasters, but they are super sweeeeet!

This was my biggest purchase at MoCCA, a screen-print poster by Sakura Maku. I've loved her work for a long time now, and I am really happy to have this!

New book in progress + Spring conventions

2011-03-01T10:57:00.000-08:00

Some exciting news, I will be exhibiting at Stumptown and TCAF this year! I've been extremely busy trying to push out my newest silkscreen book, titled "Hot + Cold" and hopefully I'll have some copies ready for both conventions.

Here are some progress photos of the drawing separation for my book. This is the biggest that I'll be printing, so I'm really nervous! I'm basically printing the entire book on each single uncut piece of Rives BFK, double sided, which I will cut up with a Guillotine and put together as a book afterwards. It will be 5 color processes, approx. 4.3"x6" and 24 pages (half accordion).
I'm hoping to get all the separations done in 2-2.5 weeks, and all the printing and book-binding done by beginning of April.

Still working on the top accordion. So far I have the color separations done for 1/3 of the book.

Thanks to my roommate Wade for the photos!

Alternative Press Expo 2010

2010-10-24T09:26:00.002-07:00

I had a wonderful time this year at APE in San Francisco! I was there with Jon Vermilyea. We had a full 6 days in which we spent walking over the Golden Gate Bridge like last year, and sipped on some salted caramel hot cocoa at Ghirardelli Square, which has become sort of a tradition for us. We ate In-N-Out burger and Mexican burritos every single day. :)

The convention was very successful. I enjoyed talking to people about the silkscreen process (which is in itself a hard thing to explain). I had the privilege of meeting Anne Koyama of Koyama Press for the first time, she came all the way from Toronto and she is awesome! I got to hang out with the talented Cat Lauigan, and chatted briefly with Lisa Hanawalt (actually ended up running into her at the airport on our way back, boarding the same flight!).

Plenty of after parties and post hang outs ensued, Ryan threw his annual party which had a much bigger turn out this year than before. Had post drinks with some of the Canadian comics family at Elbo Room, and dinner the following night at Taste of Formosa with a bunch of rad folks, including Hellen Jo, Calvin Wong, and Aaron Mew. All in all, an amazing trip. :)

APE and Oakopolis art show

2010-09-24T21:23:00.000-07:00

APE is bigger than ever this year! So big it moved its entrance to the other side of the exhibit hall, and the exhibitor list looks two times bigger than last year's and the year before! I found out my table placement and it looks like I have pretty much the same/similar table spot as last year, even with all the additional tables, which is great. :)

I'm in a show called "The Art of Comics" at Oakopolis Gallery in Oakland. The show will have two openings, October 1st and November 5th, part of the Oakland Art Murmur. They will have my "rainbow & i" books as well as the rainbow prints hung on their wall, revealing part of the process in making the books. This will be an interesting show, so if you are in the bay area, please check it out!

Here's what I did at the print shop today. Tomorrow I will be printing on tote bags for the very first time, wish me luck!

Today at the print shop...

2010-09-22T22:30:00.001-07:00

my art in Aorta magazine + upcoming events

2010-09-07T16:59:00.001-07:00

Some of my pieces from the "femme bot" painted series were printed in Aorta Magazine.

Aorta Magazine (when I met them last year at APE they were known as ArtXX) is a bi-annual publication based in San Francisco. They are a sex positive, politically charged publication that is inspired and supported by the SF gay community. I am happy and proud to be a part of
this 3rd issue, and if you are interested in this
limited edition issue, you can find out how to order one here.

Lately I've been working on drawing and color separations for a series of mini-accordion books that should be out by the time APE rolls around. (taking place Oct 16th and 17th this year in SF) I wanted to make something a little more on the affordable side, as far as hand-made, screen printed objects go. In addition, I will have many screen printed posters (old + new!) and my larger books available.

This weekend I will make an appearance at SPX, which I am totally excited about. I've also secured a half table for the upcoming, second annual Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival. The Brooklyn Fest was so much fun last year that I'm extremely psyched to be able to exhibit this year.
Above photo displays a small sampling of separation work waiting to be printed, and a large tube of Kalles Kaviar, a Swedish delicacy that I am addicted to! You're supposed to spread this smoked roe delight on crackers but I just squeeze this stuff straight into my mouth, tasty! I am almost out of this stuff :( so hopefully I can make it back to Ikea to replenish for my addiction. I also love the Swedish pickled herring, there are six different kinds, I've only tried the jar with garlic sauce but I hope to try all of them!

New silkscreen print for "Crazy 4 Cult" show in LA!

2010-06-30T23:46:00.000-07:00

I make all of my color separations by hand. It's a lot more fun for me that way (also, I'm not too versed in the computer department) I like to work straight onto the Vellum and I usually use a combination of pens and oil markers to ensure opaque-ness. The top image is the white separation.

After I have all the color separations ready, I can get to my favorite part which is printing! Here we have the blue and pink colors printed, which, layering the two colors on top of each other with the right transparency ratio makes purple.

It gets better! Printing the transparent yellow layer will then bring out a whole slew of other colors, with beautiful green and orange and browns.

There's an endless amount of things to keep in mind in order to ensure quality printing. For every layer to be printed there is an elaborate process to it. Before shooting your image on the light machine you have to make sure that the coat of thin emulsion on your screen is absolutely dry. I found myself still having to fix my images after each and every shooting.

Here is what the final print looks like after the white and line work. The paper I've always used is the Rives BFK cream color and I love mixing my very own brown for the final line separation, which I think goes perfectly with the cream paper.

Something to keep in mind while printing the paint through the screen with the squeegee, make sure you are printing at a 90 degree angle. I've only recently been tipped off to do this, and it was challenging (on my back!) at first, but it can prevent things like a flooded image. The paint also needs to be the right consistency, like melted ice-cream. There is seriously so much to the process!

New comic in IKJK anthology!

2010-04-05T00:42:00.000-07:00

I recently did a comic story for the newest installment of I Know Joe Kimpel (IKJK) 4- square anthology, "Future" which will make its debut at MoCCA festival!

It's been a while since I've done a B&W comic! My story is titled "Virtual Date." It's about two boys that encounter each other online, they then find themselves involved in hologram dates and interplanetary romance. :)

The newest, latest anthology also includes stories by José-Luis Olivares, Jason Overby, and Emily Wieja. You can check out previews and more here: http://www.iknowjoekimpel.com/blog/?p=327

As always, very excited to go to MOCCA, which is coming up so soon this year!
It's next weekend, April 10th and 11th, held at the Lexington ave. Armory in NYC.
You can find the "Future" 4-square comic at the IKJK table (G6). The image on the left is the cover but instead of the yellow it will be gold foil (nice!) so pick up a copy :) See you guys at MOCCA!

I actually have not seen this film until now! After I got invited to participate in this show, I went out to rent it right away. I watched it with my roommate and we really enjoyed it (we found it thoroughly amusing that Dorothy was pegged as a loony from the beginning) but anyway!

For this show, I did a portrait of Jack Pumpkinhead.

APE 2009

2009-10-23T15:19:00.000-07:00

here i am placing postcards on the Tong/Vermilyea table!

I can't seem to get enough of San Francisco! Being there for APE made it my fourth time visiting this year and it's never short of a crazy good time. The weather was near perfect, different from last year when it rained and I was worried about not having plastic bags for the posters I sold.

The party at Lasp Gasp which kicked off the weekend was so good... it's a good feeling being surrounded by millions and billions of books while enjoying beverage in one hand and fancy h'our dourves in the other. (Or as Eliza and I put it, a cartoonist's wet dream) Seriously, endless platters of smoked salmon (!!) lots of cheeses and fruits, spicy curried chicken... bbq pork sliders. yummm

Jon and I did very well at our table! It was fun getting to meet and hang out with some folks who made it out. Got to know and chat with Helen Parson, she is super sweet and I hope to run into her much more. Chatted with Cat who is super cool. She was doing a residency in Oakland and has now returned to NY! My new book did really well, I brought just a handful and made it out with 1 copy left. :) We went to a party at Ryan's place and got to check out his rooftop with an amazing view of the city!

We did plenty of touristy things of course :) Jon and I sure are speedy walkers! We walked pretty much everywhere, all the parks, saw the full house houses. Japantown (checked out the New People store) Did the Golden Gate bridge and Haight st. Ate lots of amazing burritos.

The photo above is of Jon in the distance and one of my all time closest friends, Angie, at the sutra baths at Ocean Beach. We explored some caves and ended the evening at the Beach Chalet. We got there when they had an amazing happy hour of 2 dollar pints and oysters! They brew all of their own beers, my favorite was definitely the Fleishhacker stout. :)

My new book "rainbow & i" is now available to view on my site! Be sure to check it out. :)

the beauty of off-set printing

2009-09-27T22:31:00.000-07:00

I am currently on the verge of finishing my second silkscreen book, and I'm very excited about it! My new book will make its debut at APE in San Francisco, where I will share a table this year with the very talented Jon Vermilyea.

I've been spending a lot of time this summer at the SVA print lab. Here are some pictures of pages of my book being racked.

What I really like about silkscreen is that, unlike painting, I have less control over the result of the image. I'll have somewhat of an idea of how it will turn out, but especially dealing with color transparencies oftentimes I won't know the resulting color tones until it gets printed, and sometimes it's a nice surprise.

Another wonderful thing about silkscreening is that not every print will come out exactly the same as one another. Sometimes the result of off-set prints can be a beautiful thing, that's another thing that makes each print unique (if in subtle ways.)

The new book will be 20 pages like my last book, Pink Lemonade, but with comic panels so it will feel longer.

I have a computer again! ...after living over 2 months without one ever since the screen stopped working on my last one. hello again, world.
So, I will definitely try to post more, as long as I have the time and my internet doesn't fail me.
Here's a close-up scan of a recent silkscreen print. I printed the second separation upside-down accidentally after the first separation and decided to keep flipping the paper and printing that way, omitting the line work in the end. There's only one original copy of this print-proof, which I recently gave away as a birthday present.
Stay tuned for some proper preview images of my new book!

this weekend... MoCCA!

2009-06-04T23:55:00.000-07:00

I've been spreading the word and spreading it good. Pretty much been emailing not only all of my friends, but friend's friends, acquaintances, EVERYONE about this. I've been eagerly anticipating MoCCA fest for what feels like very long weeks! And the weekend has finally arrived, eeeeeeee!

I'm especially looking forward to running into old school colleagues, professors, and the huge array of cartoonists/artists making an appearance. I'll be in a panel which will take place on Sunday, moderated by my old professor. There's quite a few panels that I'm really looking forward to.

I'm going to try and make it to all of these night events, surrounding MoCCA (most of which takes place within walking distance from my apartment :)

a little vacation

2009-05-27T20:15:00.000-07:00

I recently came back from a nice little vacation in San Francisco. Even though it's the city where I grew up, visiting the place with a bunch of east coast friends and making a point of touring there makes for a very different experience! I had an incredible time (at some points, surprisingly inspirational)

one of my all-time favorite activities: beach bonfire!!

I traveled there and back with my good friend Deo, he pretty much was taking pictures non-stop. For more incredible photos, visit his flickr!

Now that I'm back and off of vacation mode, I've been working hard on preparing drawings for my next silkscreen book, which I'm really psyched about. I'm finally getting to coloring in some separations and I have to say, scribbling with the extra BOLD tip oil-paint Sharpie is such a sensational feeling... It feels amazing, coloring like a kid essentially. I can't imagine making silkscreen separations on a computer screen?? (not that I know how to, anyway!)
So, I'm hoping to start printing once summer arrives and try and finish the project by end of summer with an all new silkscreen book for APE this year. I can't wait to print!

Corner of the room where my drafting table resides.

This is the room that I currently live in. It's where I sleep. It's where I drink all this coffee before exerting my creative energy into whatever project at hand, on the very table pictured.

Immersed in the organized clutter (in the detail photo) : antelope brown india ink, at least 2 pairs of scissors and box-cutters (when things get hectic they are lost so easily!), an array of tiny tiny oil brushes, sumi ink, 4 different kinds of tape, oils, random tubes of acrylic, uhh toothpaste?, etc.
On the other side of the drafting table: books, more books.

recent reads:
"The Road" Cormac McCarthy
"Post Office" Charles Bukowski

currently reading:
"Swallow Me Whole" Nate Powell
"Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby" Takashi Nemoto

"Sweet Surrender" it opened!

2009-03-21T20:57:00.000-07:00

The opening reception was incredible! I couldn't believe all the people who made it out! It was good to see my neighbors, my Brooklyn roommate and all his friends, former weekend art students (circa YWCA!), SOTA kids, people i've met at Wondercon, even people I met last year at APE (!) and some folks I met on trivia night that very week turned out for the opening. WOW! Met a ton of new people as well. The night blew my mind!

I wasn't able to take any pictures, but here are some photos courtesy of friends and the gallery:

from left to right: my friend Scott, neighbors Paul and Jon, and myself

my parents and me looking fascinated by whatever Sarah is saying (Sarah, my former art teacher from the Y)

what do i like?

2008-11-28T19:09:00.000-08:00

I've been asked a couple times who my favorite painter is. Twice over the course of the last 24 hours, by my dearest friend Andrew over thanksgiving dinner, and by a gentleman whilst hanging out at Beauty Bar the night before. There are quite a few painters that I admire, both times the first that comes to my mind is Balthus--

others: Henry Darger, Marcel Dzama, Thomas Eakins .... to name just a few.

I glossed over a really great book a few days ago. "A catalog of hand-drawn patterns" which is another thing that I admire, and there are some meticulous, beautiful examples that can be found in the book, "Over and Over."

I might try to buy this book but I am still waiting to receive Kramer's Ergot 7 from an online retailer, which i hope is coming soon.

wishlist: "Skim" by Jillian Tamaki

Some reference photos I've gathered through the internet, in light of my latest project.

penelope cruz

aki hoshino

heidi klum

This is just a sampling of my folder filled with hundreds of these photos, i admit its fun collect these on behalf of my new series. My upcoming pieces are pretty much influenced by combination of these photos (the models seem almost robotic-like to me) plus my own personal experiences.

the coffee post

2008-11-08T14:04:00.000-08:00

Each day I consume at least one largest size cup of coffee (20 oz or more) On days that I am at my day job or days where I feel especially productive I drink 2 or 3, sometimes 4. A lot of the cafes i've visited in San francisco, and for the most part in NY offer medium to stronger brew for their house coffee, which is the only kind I prefer. Colombian brew won't do the job for me, give me Sumatra! Mexican coffee beans are also very nice-- I had a brew that tasted like unsweetened chocolate at Gimme! coffee. Other places I really enjoy - Ritual, on Valencia st. People's cafe, on Haight.

APE weekend, halloween, and everything else

2008-11-07T22:56:00.000-08:00

I had an incredible time at APE! But, because I don't own a camera i'm afraid I don't have pictures. It took place during halloween weekend and i do, however, have a picture of me and my friends on halloween night!from the left: me as a rainbow, tabitha as pimp, allison - ms lovett, and tony -johnny depp

This took place at a bar close by after the APE exhibitor mixer /pre party, which took place at Last Gasp publishing office/shop. The night became a bit of a blur, as to be expected on halloween in SF.

The next day, arrived an hour early to set things up, I managed to remember everything except for a table cloth! (which I didn't even think about) but a table neighbor was kind enough to loan me his extra one. It was my first time at APE and my first time having my own table so it was triple exciting! and very successful. I sold plenty of prints and books, all silkscreen, and had the pleasure to interact with so many people. It was definitely the best time I've ever had at a con, despite being glued the entire time to my table (although I managed to attend 30 minutes of the "Making of Kramer's Ergot 7" panel, on Sunday)
The Isotope party that Saturday was also an amazing time. I am deeply grateful for my friends, Teddy Hose and Scott Norton for helping me out with my table and for keeping me company! And my mom for bringing me food all weekend.
I will most definitely return to APE next year (too good not to) and I will try to drag with me my very talented, former roommate and close friend Jon Vermilyea (perhaps we will share a table next year? hopefully!)

In other news, Obama is our new president! My friends and I couldn't stop screaming, took ourselves outdoors and everyone else felt the same. Tabitha asked me to paint an Obama mural in their household, i might do it if I find time (still in mural painting mode, especially after Asa's ginormous one)

Now that APE is over, I'm continuing my work for my next show which is taking place at Gallery1988 (SF), opening in March 2009. One of the owners, Katie, who i believe runs the SF location, stopped by my table this weekend to say hi. The group show is going to be a good line up of myself and 3 other very talented female artist, more info to come!

In the mean time, here is my set up at my parents' home as I try to spend the rest of vacation doing a little catch-up.
This is the birds eye view where I have a view of the porch ahead of me and a TV next to that. I pay most of my attention to music and reference photos on my computer.

Above is a detail of part of my painting surface, my muses, the antelope brown ink I always use, and a new bottle of Prussian blue ink (beautiful color!!) I originally was looking for purple but was happy to discover (or rather, rediscover) prussian blue. Its purpose will be revealed later.

"waverly" by asa kawano

2008-11-06T17:29:00.000-08:00

hi everyone!

I had the exciting opportunity to exhibit at APE this past weekend and it was a phenomenal time! more on that later.

While in new york just before leaving to visit the west coast, I spent one evening helping my very talented and close friend asa kawano (and her boyfriend chad) paint her gigantic graffiti/mural. It was an amazing experience.The mural, titled "Waverly" is 45"x22" can be seen riding the F train towards coney island, just before approaching the Smith & 9th st. stop (sitting backwards, on the left side of train) You can also see it from the BQE where the Lowe's is located (Hamilton Ave.)

"Cannibal Hearts"

2008-08-25T07:14:00.000-07:00

For Immediate Release

Cannibal Hearts
Jennifer Tong
Solo Exhibition
September 5 - 30, 2008
Opening reception: September 5, 6 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Metropolis Gallery is pleased to present Cannibal Hearts, Brooklyn-based artist Jennifer Tong’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. The artist’s new works explore the symbiotic relationship between living things, both human and non-human, in a forest setting where shared carnal nature and emotion come alive. An opening reception for Cannibal Hearts will be held Friday, September 5, 2008, from 6 p.m. - 10 p.m.

For Tong, Cannibal Hearts inspires, on a general level, exploration into the universal carnal nature of all living things, and, more specifically, investigation of the characters’ interaction with and reflection of the surrounding natural world. “It alludes to the feelings of these people who are food, eating food, eating each other,” says Tong, “It could be a semi-romantic situation, or a gluttonous one.” Her depiction of “garlic nymphs” exemplifies this attitude and attention to aesthetics. The juxtaposition of the nymph characters and cloves of garlic showcase the striking similarities in form, while the stark color contrasts reveal the differences in content and emotion. Although she leaves the interpretation of her work up to the viewer, the primitive feeling of Tong’s world where instincts are Law cannot be missed.

Tong admits her palette is constantly changing as it is constantly inspired, pushing her to evolve her oil and ink paintings and to experiment with new mediums, including watercolors on toothy, skin-colored paper. Tong draws inspiration from “a vast pool” that includes literary authors like Nabokov; artists and cartoonists like Marcel Dzama and Helge Reumann; and musicians ranging from the melodic Radiohead to the calming folk songs of Joanna Newsom. Tong creates works that possess a vintage look, while her theme maintains a modern disposition and is saturated with emotion.

ABOUT THE ARTIST From Brooklyn by way of San Francisco, Jennifer Tong is one of the foremost young indie comics artists. Appearing in the second volume of the landmark Fantagraphics book "Beasts!", which has previously featured such great artists as Tim Biskup, Jeff Soto and Jeremy Fish, as well as showing in major galleries across the US, Jennifer has just begun to truly emerge. Her work recalls the indie comic innocence of Chester Brown, the outsider art creep vibe of Henry Darger, and even famed "Gnomes" illustrator Rien Poortvliet. Part of the growing webcomics movement, Jennifer was recently featured in an ongoing show celebrating the webcomics scene at The MOCCA in NYC and was part of a three person show, “Smoke From Distant Fires” in July 2008 at Lab 101 in Culver City, CA. Tong received her BFA in Cartooning from The School of Visual Arts.

About the Gallery

METROPOLIS is both a retail store and art gallery in one space featuring Mid-Century Modern Furniture, Designer Art Toys, and Modern Art. Whereas the traditional idea of an art gallery has typically been 2-D art hung on white walls and little else, METROPOLIS expands by combining good design from any medium and presenting a clearer idea of how any or all of these pieces could co-exist within one's home. METROPOLIS Gallery is located at 154 N. Prince Street, Lancaster, PA 17603. For more information on Metropolis Gallery, visit www.metropolis-store.com, email info@metropolis-store.com or call 717.572.9961.

old show, and the new

2008-07-27T21:20:00.000-07:00

I've updated my website with all the new pieces I did for Lab 101 in LA.

Click here to check it out!

Also, here is a preview photo of a new painting that's nearly complete. For the show at Metropolis, opening September.

I've been vacationing in San Francisco and it's been a surreal experience, to say the least. One of the first things I made sure to do was to attend the Frida Kahlo exhibit at SFMOMA. Ever since then, my dreams have become slighty more haunting - sharing these dreams with my friends have been an increasingly interesting experience.

Every time I "vacation" in SF is really more of an opportunity to dedicate more time in making art/getting things done. Its also a nice breath of fresh air from being in New York, but I love both cities for its differences. I wonder if I'll be able to someday live in both places, take turns.

liesurely things

2008-06-25T13:18:00.000-07:00

ever since the move, i find myself going to places and doing many things that are very in tune to this neighborhood. I guess that goes with anywhere you live, you get to know the locals and acquire a few favorite places.I recently saw Gogol Bordello play at McCarren Park pool with my friend Cat who introduced me to them for the first time. They were crazy good and they had all this energy that made most of the audience near the front jump up and down. McCarren is a ridiculously gigantic space/formerly a swimming pool (although i can't imagine that) so its easy to either jump around or do cartwheels if you want, or lay back and relax from a distance. Every night there's a band or movie playing at the pool.

Other book I've been reading--- (besides "The heart is a lonely hunter" which, so far, s been sad but beautifully written)
"No One Belongs Here More Than You" stories by Miranda July
comics/visuals--
"Goddess of War" by Laura Weinstein (so good!)
"Elvis Road" Helge Reumann, Xavier Robel

where i've been

2008-06-22T22:54:00.000-07:00

hello!
i know i haven't posted in a while,
i recently moved to a new apartment in Williamsburg and I'm loving it.
Still trying to get myself adjusted/settled and trying to tackle deadlines.
I'm shipping out new work tomorrow to Lab101 in LA for a 3 person show, and I am extremely excited.
It opens July 13th, I will post the flyer later.
I'll update my site with the new pieces the week of the opening.
Here's a sneak peek in the meantime:

"Falling Stars"

"Hope You're Swell II"

"Onward, Upward"

Lately I've gotten into music by the band Metric. There's one song I find myself listening to over and over again. called "Hustle Rose" Emily Haines (the band's lead) has a talent for words.
I've also started reading "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers.
Ever since my move my train commute is much shorter now, which is the time I use to rely on to get some reading done. I will try to put a little time aside to read.

polar bear mountain in color

its not the best picture.
I'll scan it after its all finished.
all it needs now is ink.

2008-04-18T22:27:00.001-07:00

currently working on a polar bear.

I'm almost finished with the oils for this. Just needs time to dry so i can ink.
So far i've more or less kept up with the workload. One of my biggest fears is to run out of ideas.
But, i'm sure as long as one is constantly inspired, the ideas will then follow.

"i feel like drawing a whale today" "I think I want to paint a bear"

"i feel like drawing an orgy of naked-sushi-women"

My friend Andrew is auctioning off some very exquisite necklaces to help raise funds for Breast Cancer research. Help make a difference! This is to benefit the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
Check out his blog for details on the auction.

from sketch to finish

2008-02-28T15:58:00.000-08:00

Sometimes the sketch is pretty much traced for the final outcome.
I did that one in my sketchbook on a plane ride to Chicago.

Usually the idea is taken down in tiny thumbnail and the final image is worked on from start to finish.

garlic nymphets on my mind

2008-02-24T20:25:00.000-08:00

a good sized detail of a new piece.

I've recently read Nobokov's "Lolita"for my roommate's book club. I think it had something to do with the idea for this.

i drew one of these little garlicky ladies for the first time during a work/drawing session over at my good friend Andrew's place. The painting is very close to being done (just needs the ink job)
