Broetry

July 5th is the big release date for a book of poetry that I had the pleasure to illustrate: Broetry, Poetry for Dudes by Brian McGackin. It gave me a chance to illustrate such poems as "O Captain! My Captain America!" and "My Friends Who Don't Have Student Loans". It even has a poem with stormtroopers. And although I didn't illustrate "Cleaning Off My George Foreman Grill", I wish I had, because it's surprisingly poignant.

The art director was the fantastic Doogie Horner at Quirk books.

Hamilton!

The city of Hamilton, Ohio was renamed Hamilton! in the 1980's. What happened to the exclamation point? 
For the Dr. Know column in Cincinnati magazine.
