View post →A lot of my friends find it a bit strange that I keep saying that moving from Manhattan to Jackson Heights is like moving to the country. Remember that Seinfeld episode when Kramer described Queens that way? There is definitely something to it, because here it is the weekend, and I am making a drawing […]

After I took the Kilimanjaro Safari ride in Harambe Village and saw the elephants hanging out by the baobab tree I made a few inspired drawings. Just thinking about the relationship of […]
