Ode to a Show About Nothing
Seinfeld I’ve wanted to do a Seinfeld caricature for years now, since college, but I was too lazy about it. I knew that if I was to do it right it would have to have a detailed background of Jerry’s apartment. So I’m glad I finally got around to it!
Seinfeld was in its early years when I was in art school and it’s pretty much the best sitcom ever. I remember looking forward to watching it with my dad every Thursday. My wife and I have been watching it again on Hulu and it feels even more relevant now that I am older.
Hope you enjoy some of the references from the whole series! I’ll post some details of the whole thing later… yada yada yada.

Hermit Crabby
This is me in a couple of years. Growing up at the shore, I always had hermit crab pets. I built little cities for them out of Lego or cardboard. Now I feel bad for them; they are ‘disposable pets’ many shoobies bring home from vacation.
This one goes well with my angry seagull illo… might have to continue the beach series!

Bob Ross 20 Years and Beyond
Two years ago, my wife and I set up a little art studio and shop in downtown Woodbury, NJ. Since then, I have created hundreds of canvas paintings while doing my best Bob Ross impression for parties and classes of all sorts. It’s been a lot of fun, and I’ve picked up new techniques along the way.
Last year we celebrated my 20-year artist retrospective by hanging a number of pieces in our gallery. The show, ‘Making Faces,’ then traveled to the Dr. Ross Beitzel Art Gallery at Rowan College at Gloucester County. It was rewarding to see the illustrations–many from alt newspapers and magazines–and how they fit together in different themes over all those years.
The exhibitions made me realize how much I had missed painting famous faces and pop-culture portraits for the pure pleasure of it, and I began completing a bunch of sketches I had been working on in the past few years. I pulled from my ‘Sketch-of-the-Day’ series and finished painting a handful of doodles: some painted in oils and many painted digitally.
Thank you for visiting my site!
