A few months ago I was contacted by Len Small over at Columbia Magazine. I always wanted to work with Len and this was a really fun collaboration. He had the idea of integrating actual photos into the illustrations, something I haven’t done in many years but I really liked the potential of doing something […]
[sgmb id=”1″]As some of you know my drawings appear on Crooked Fingers’s release Breaks in the Armor as well as the acoustic version of the same album. Crooked Fingers aka Eric Bachmann has been one of my favorite artists for years (since I was in high school!) and last night I was happy to attend a special performance […]
[sgmb id=”1″]Last year I attended a Bob Dylan concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York. I made a few drawings, and David Gaines, the author of a new book on Bob Dylan, saw one of the drawings which I had posted on One Drawing A Day and asked if he could use it for […]
Of all the shows I’ve been to (and drawn), this was my first outside of the US. The Wedding Present has been one of my favorite bands since high school and Cinerama is another band I’ve grown up with, so you can imagine how happy I was when I learned they would be performing in […]
It’s been a few months since I did a reportage at a concert so it felt great to get out and draw. Neutral Milk Hotel is a special band. I’ve been a fan since the 90s and,without getting into detail, they haven’t toured since. Last year they announced a world tour, which almost completely sold […]
I was privileged to be asked to photograph The Monochrome Set on their recent tour of the US. Having not played in the States for over 30 years, I was truly intrigued by what I would see, and I was blown away by their performances. During the shoot I was able to put the camera down […]
I spent Monday and Tuesday nights at Destroyer shows. They were great. Those of you who follow my blog know that I have made a habit of creating reportage drawings at live music events and have covered Destroyer on more than one occasion. Here are some past shows, here and here. If you haven’t given […]
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 […]
