Sketchbook: Life of the Mind


Just finished this cover for a friend’s band, The Squeaky Caskets. You should check them out!

I also spent a while drawing my buddies below. They didn’t work out for the cover, but I wanted them to live somewhere so here they are.



After watching this film last night at our incomparable local independent video rental store and theater, Cap City Video Lounge, I came home and asked myself: what if Kathryn Bigelow’s 1987 vampire feature Near Dark was released in 1967 instead of 1987? Then I stayed up way too late and made this poster.



I spent a few hours the other night painting this random happy dog from the internet while a Family Times marathon streamed on the TV. This was a perfectly valid way to spend an evening.

A stop on the Florida Black Heritage Trail: The John H. Hurston House in Sanford.
Zora Neale Hurston’s father lived in this Second Empire style home while he served the community in Sanford as minister of Zion Hope Baptist Church in the 1890s. Later, the house, located at 621 E Sixth Avenue in Sanford, was a maternity home for local mothers.
