I was pleased to be asked to contribute my reportage drawings to VAROOM! magazine. The publisher Derek was looking to feature illustrators that reportage live music and he was a fan of the drawings I made of Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks last year. Here is a post about that show. VAROOM! is a great […]

Those of you who follow my blog or are familiar with my work know that a few of my drawings made at a 2010 Crooked Fingers show were used for the cover and interior of their latest release “Breaks in the Armor”. Last month they were back in town and I had a chance to […]

This was a special night. Jeff Mangum had not performed in over a decade until he started resurfacing, here and there, in the last few years. During his hiatus, his 2 albums (with Neutral Milk Hotel) On Avery Island, and  In the Aeroplane Over the Sea garnered the recognition they deserved as two of the most unique […]

Had a chance to catch the ex-Pavement frontman last Sunday night at Webster Hall in NYC. I decided to break out the black paper and crayons for this one. I always enjoy working in this “reverse” way and I just felt like it captured the mood a bit better than black on white…however, I did […]

Saw an amazing band the other night at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC. The Olivia Tremor Control, part of the Elephant 6 Recording Company, have been in existence for more than a decade, winning a strong underground following. They sounded great and hearing some of the older songs really brought me back. I first became […]

Tommy Stinson, former bassist of The Replacements recently completed an artist residency at The Bowery Electric, playing there each Thursday in the month of August. I was happy to see him touring again as it must be at least 10 years since I’ve last seen him perform (I actually saw him perform on my 21st […]

I’m pleased to announce that Merge Records will be using my reportage drawings of Crooked Fingers as the artwork for the upcoming album “Breaks In The Armor”. This is an honor for me as I’ve been a fan of both Merge and Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers) for years and have always respected their music immensely. […]

I attended a GREAT show (concert) Saturday night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. The Archers of Loaf, a band I loved in my youth, have reunited for a North American tour. I consider them one of the most underrated bands of the 90s which made it especially nice to be part of […]

Sunday night I was thrilled to watch and draw Destroyer at Webster Hall, NYC. I often go back and forth on what is my favorite music to listen to, but I am now sure that this is it. I’ve followed this band for about 10 years and with each new release I am stunned that […]

Here are a few reportage drawings from last Saturday night at the Mercury Lounge NYC. I’ve been following Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers) for the past 17 years, so it was great to see him again live. He’s now on tour with the multi-talented Liz Durrett and I highly recommended that you see them if you […]
