Centre Charlemagne buys works for city of Aachen’s collection.
It’s quite flattering, yet extremely surprising that anything I do would be considered to be of historic significance. But I guess that’s what just happened, as Aachen’s history museum Centre Charlemagne recently purchased four of my drawings for the city’s collection.Read more
The Baron of Solitude.
I’ve been asked for prints of this drawing many times and am happy to finally be able to offer “The Baron of Solitude” in an adequate form. The original artwork has been given a careful workover — it’s been looked over thoroughly, cleaned up and little imperfections were corrected. The white on black lettering has been reworked meticulously and now fits the rest of the piece much better. As all of my fine art prints it is printed with Lucia pigment inks andRead more
Mom’s Typewriter on Conan
20 years ago when I was a naive teenager with big dreams of becoming the next David Carson I created a series of fonts. Heavily influenced by the fashion of the time they were mostly of the grunge category. I released some of them as free fonts; one of those fonts was Mom’s Typewriter which was created from a strike-up of my mother’s antique typewriter. 20 years later it has become quite popular and has been used countless times in print and online; it can for example beRead more
The Earth Is All That Lasts.
It’s been four years since I worked with my friend Willem Maker on the cover artwork for AGAPAO, which the New York Times subsequently considered one of the best one-man band records ever. They were also kind enough to refer to me as a “brilliant illustrator”, and who am I to argue with such a prestigious paper! Today, Willem Maker is releasing the somber counterpart to AGAPAO entitled The Earth Is All That Lasts. Once again I had the honorRead more

I am extremely pleased to announce that I will attend this year’s Zine Machine Printed Matter Festival in Durham, North Carolina on February 20th. The festival is flying me in from Germany to join my fellow Mineshaft regulars Aaron Lange and Pat Moriarity. On top of that I will finally get a chance to meet the wonderful people behind Mineshaft Magazine –– namely Everett Rand and Gioia Palmieri –– who have been generously publishing my work since 2008. But that’s not all! My friend Zebulon Whatley of SonsRead more

loBURN Magazine Feature
My work can be seen in the current issue of loBURN magazine. It’s a special edition entirely dedicated to R. Crumb and its main feature is a lengthy 30 question interview with the master himself. The interview was conducted by artist Lana Gentry (who by the way may be one of the most painted and drawn women alive) especially for this issue. If you’d ask me, Crumb is one of the greatest artists we currently have the pleasure to shareRead more
