Evan Wright

Just finished a commisioned portrait of Evan Wright. author of Generation Kill - recently adapted for a HBO miniseries that airs sunday nights.

The book is incredible and the show - written by David Simon & Ed Burns - stays fairly true to the original material.

nauseating illustrations

from the Philadelphia Weekly letters page:

To Steven Wells on a recent On the Radar column:

"Thank you for another breezy, uninformative rant against religious fundamentalists. We get it: They suck. They’re child fuckers. They believe in ghosts. They think the world was created by magic.

I hate those groups, and I still can’t stand your weekly diatribe.. Your same take on the world is published on the same page of PW, accompanied by the same nauseating illustrations every week."

Thank god somebody finally noticed! I've been drawing Belle & Sebastian being mutilated, Morrissey as a Nazi, Rudolph Giuliani sucking a Cheesesteak through a Glory Hole, for going on 3 years now without so much as 1 lawyer letter or even an angry email.

nazi morrissey

allegedly the king of indie-goth mr. morrissey said some not-so-nice things about immigration in england. now he's suing anybody that prints them. so this illustration was never published.

pop pimp with flame thrower codpiece

for philadelphia weekly

"Great pop doesn't hide under a gray bushel. It dresses up in a fluorescent DayGlo pink-and-yellow pimp suit and struts the streets with its tits, cock, vagina and savagely prolapsed ass hanging out, screaming at and punching strangers...if your stage show doesn't feature prosthetic tongues, flame spewing codpieces, chainsaws, a perma-sneering Dickensian hunchback singer with the eyes of an insane satanic ferret, and a mock execution or two..get the fuck out of showbiz!"
