Leaving Orcatraz
October 14, 2008
Another longwinded, heavy-handed Video8 quickie edit with accompanying dorky poster from the box o’ tapes I’ve been hauling around for TEN YEARS. This was the night before, day of, and week after leaving Orcas Island, 2001? (Right before Brainfag...
Killing Mr. Griffin
October 12, 2008
From found tape: This footage is from a thriftshop box find full of Video8 tapes, most of them computer backups — except this gem. I’ve been carrying this around and meaning to edit it for ages (aka 10 years). I finally found some time to...
The Sinking Ship
September 27, 2008
For those not in the know, I’ve been living single for the last week and Soon Bok made the brave move to New York. This has resulted in me eating copious amounts of pizza for every meal, drinking cheaper and cheaper beer, thinking about drawing a...
Crappy Jam Comics Du Jour
September 20, 2008
Andrice Arp and Jesse Reklaw were in town for an art show opening last night down the street at Secret Headquarters — which embarrassingly I completely forgot about. I swear if things are not thrust in front of me AS THEY ARE HAPPENING they may as...
Any Ranch That You Can See on Foot Just Isn’t Worth Looking At
August 20, 2008
I recently had a drunken spree of watching old westerns, starting with the classic The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. While “camping” last weekend, I watched it again with my 12-year-old nephew Aaron who initially scoffed at the obviously-overdubbed...
Our Goofy Ass Kid Website
August 07, 2008
If I’ve not blathered to you in person about it, we recently at my dayjob relaunched holamun2.com. This was the culmination of an 8++ month operation pulling out the wildly (manmade) cancerous and expanding Wordpress innards and replacing them wi...
Self Portrait Post Horror Manga Marathon
July 25, 2008
Microcosm asked for a photo for promotion of BFF and I was inspired to draw something since I don’t really have any decent photos of myself. Or maybe I just wanted to draw myself without eyeballs, I don’t know. Scrufftastic. Hair cut and a shave...
Portrait by Michel Gondry
July 20, 2008
One of the perks of this year’s MoCCA was the odd appearance of Michel Gondry and an hilarious comic “32 PAGES, ALL IN COLORS” called “We Lost The War But Not The Battle – a revengeful story by Michel Gondry.” I guess there’s extra drama to be fou...
Pays to Have a Geek-Artist Boyfriend
July 16, 2008
I’ve been getting a kick out of helping Soon Bok’s Etsy shop Pretty Monsters by designing some labels and her banner image. I guess it’s a relief to design for something you don’t have to worry about 5,000 people using — that is, a sticker instead...
BFF scraps
July 09, 2008
As I sat down to write this, I heard some unearthly-sounding squawking and growling from outside. I looked out just in time to catch a raccoon being forced off the edge of a garage by two other huge, screaming raccoons. It was very much like a sce...
Nate at MoCCA 2008!
June 08, 2008
I’m in the midst of a NY visit for the MoCCA arts fest. I’ll write something here very soon, and completely change the site up, I swear. (Got that partially done..) I’m REALLY retiring brainfag.com to just a showcase for the 10-issue run and BFF b...
Silent in LA
July 11, 2007
Not too much to report, been working on holamun2.com fulltime+ since I moved to LA. I do have a book cover in the works for Willy Vlautin’s new book, Northline, with Faber & Faber. I’ll put that up soon, I’m not sure where it stands at this po...
Failing god’s weird tests
April 15, 2007
Just put up the recent Papercutter art, put out by Greg at tugboat press. In the last month, I’ve bought a car, a mobile phone, become an NBC/GE employee, and now I“m moving to LA in a week. Wtf?! Is this god testing me? Am I failing? Or winning?...
Special News Morsel
February 09, 2007
The Wurstminster dog show is now up on their site. Added a few illustrations for the Mercury, as well as the new Papercutter inside covers. Willy Vlautin dropped off the new Richmond Fontaine album I did cover art for, Thirteen Cities, which looks...
new site live!
December 17, 2006
After an exceptional bout of procrastination, I have finally forced myself to find time to piece together a quick Django site (with a little help from mootools) to pimp my illustration self. There will be much more exciting things to come in the f...
