I recently completed a personal project where I illustrated each contestant from RuPaul’s Drag Race the morning after she was eliminated from the show, each week until the winner was crowned. To see the entire series, visit my tumblr. Next Magazine also profiled my process (link contains some adult content).

One of my favorite activities to do with young artists. Pick a font and write your name in that style! I’ve also made notecards with a different style written on each one and have the students “pick a mystery font” to start the class. A lot of kids really dig this challenge.

My illustration of ”Captain Greenbeard” made the editor’s pick in Next Magazine’s annual Comics issue. The Captain is a well recognized NYC personality often seen at Riis Beach in amazing costumes. He goes by many names (“Rockaway Betty”, “The Queen of Queens”) and is never without his pup and trusty parrot!
After School Activities
The end of summer and back to school season can be tough. But after school activities can help ease the pain!
I just love this show… and the B! Looking forward to the new season.
