Thank you





It's a sad week for me as one of the most fun columns (and influential on my art) has been put on hiatus. The 'Night Watch' column which I've had a part in since my first illustration back in April 2008, will no longer be running in the New Times Broward/Palm Beach. The writer has moved onto greener pastures and there isn't any immediate plans to hire a new one.

To say the Night Watch column influenced my work is an understatement. At least twice a month (sometimes 3-4 times/month), I'd get a creative story on unimaginable topics. One week I'd be drawing superheroes and roller girls drinking martinis. Other weeks, I'm diving into sexual fetishes and smokey dive bars and gallons of liquor. Hopefully my illustrations reflected the descriptive topics and the fun I had creating them.

Thank you Miche, Tara and James. Each week was a hoot and I'm lucky you allowed me to play a part. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the column will be revived in the future!

Here are some of my favorite pieces over the years starting with the first: the roller girls
