Aquarium Drunkard turns 20 years old today. I couldn't put into a short soundbite how honored I am to be a part of it as a writer, visual artist, and simply a reader since 2007 or so. A real last bastion of arts journalism, and that's just scratching the surface

... during my three hour visit with Bill, I was gifted some truly insane ephemera like this. Original Byrds-era Clarence White business card!

A few years ago, I took a roadtrip on an assignment for British magazine Shindig! to interview Bill Bartlett, guitarist for psych-pop legends The Lemon Pipers (# 1 hit "Green Tambourine in '68). In addition to the magazine article, I expand on the singular Pipers saga today at @aquariumdrunkard.com

I should have found a more attractive model BUT the folks at Worn Free did an amazing thing and made t-shirts for my short film PURE ANIMATION FOR NOW PEOPLE. With spring approaching, who doesn't need a shirt promoting independent animation and both Mark Neeley and Mothersbaugh? Link below ...

I got to draw the historic, 170-year old architecture of Findlay Market to design these sparkling American Water cans (you may have seen 'em at the likes of @woodsist.bsky.social Festival). The cans and other stuff will be available at the annual MLB opening day parade in Cincinnati next week 💧⚾

Although I know nothing about golf, this is a snippet of a new music video I animated for Rachel Goodrich via Soul Select Records // the single being a heartfelt homage to her late grandmother. You can watch the full thing here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ4A...

Spring Training

Eric Dolphy is my single favorite jazz musician, and today at Aquarium Drunkard I wrote about the Dutch documentary Last Date (1991, recently surfaced online). A wonderful location-hopping film from hometown LA to the NYC club scene w/ Mingus to the final exodus to Europe

Mom, I’m in the New York Times this week! @nytimes.com
