St. Louis' Last Toynbee Tile

5-color screenprinted homage to the last "Toynbee Tile" in St. Louis (RIP), located downtown at 8th and Market. Asphalt gray, White, Bright Blue, Yellow and Jupiter Red hand-printed on 19.5"x 12.75" concrete gray paper. Edition of 50. Get one here!

Around the edges of the tile is a short history of the mysterious tiler, along with a strictly theoretrical DIY guide to the process of creating and gluing your own piece of street art. Here's an even more theoretical comic I (with the help of Leon Beyond) drew about the same tile:

Drink Along with THE SWIMMER

"He seemed to see, with a cartographer’s eye, that string of swimming pools, that quasi-subterranean stream that curved across the county..."
I've recently become obsessed with the 1968 Burt Lancaster movie THE SWIMMER and keep returning to it. The original John Cheever short story is worth digging up, as well as the full screenplay by Eleanor Perry. There are lots of deep theories and angles to dive into, but I jumped into the shallow end by doodling the (mostly alcoholic) drinks of the film in my sketchbook.

There's symbolism poured into each of these beverages, and I'd be tempted to organize a screening with the full menu if it weren't for the final libation, the "bullshot".

I'll probably draw more fan art for this strange movie, and advance my own pet theories (hint: CAVEMAN), but for now, proceed safely through whatever holes your neighbors dig in their backyards.

Paradise City

I did a 2-pager for this cool comics anthology HANKERIN' FOR RUINATION, a loose set of 'covers' of every song from the album Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses.

I covered the final song on the 'G' side Paradise City. Get one here! Here are some thumbnails and reference collected during my research.



I took some inspiration from the Koreshan Utopian Community...

...as well as J. Wimpy Wellington.

Have you read the great Wimpy intro strip by Kevin H?!



Thanks for checkin' it out!
