Happy Holi-Dakes!

Here's the newest cover illustration I did for Happy Holi-Dakes 2014, as well as my design for a new EP from my brother James and me. You can find both of them, musically, at jamesdake.bandcamp.com. Thanks!

Process & Progress

Recently, Studio 360 opened up a listener challenge involving drawing or doodling in tandem with cartoonist Alison Bechdel. This was just the kick in the pants I needed to do some drawing. I started more realistic, but eventually floated more to the realm of the ambiguous and abstract.

Infinite Corpsey

I finally got around to producing something for the website, Infinite Corpsey, which is a version of exquisite corpse - the game where you add things to a drawing without seeing the whole until it's finished. Infinite Corpsey follows a three-panel comic format with the skeleton character, Corpsey. Check it out!

If Then, Go To

I was reading on a sunny afternoon at a local coffee shop. Then something happened, so I made a comic about it.

Super Bowling

For fun, I offered a chance to win a postcard related to the Superbowl. But as a consolation prize for everyone who entered, I created another digital postcard of sorts. Each person was provided a link to a hi-res version for their 'records.' It includes the first-ever fully realized seabronco, a rare creature only spotted in the depths of the deepest, darkest, most magical ocean.
