why was i thinking about potatoes and tubers at a bar? i am not exactly sure, but it was dark, which might have had something to do with it. originally this drawing was vertical, but due to the wide format of the sketchbook, it’s now a sideways growing spud.
another eben illustration ran in the new york times last saturday. this one being about chicken-economics, specifically, the authors of the book freakonomics, have a blog for further extrapolations into the economics of the everyday world. the specific idea for this illustration came from the the entry, ‘why pay $36.09 for rancid chicken?’
a hamburger today, is a tasty blog that documents one of the tastiest cusines out there, the hamburger. adam kuban, founder of the a hamburger today, was also kind enough to link to my illustrated burger, “the goal is always before us yet always just out of reach.”

thank you to everyone who came out to prospect park to celebrate kandle’s and my birthdays. we had a great time. thanks tobias for your documentarian skills. if anyone has photos, i would love to see them.
also, much love to silver for making an old man with a faulty memory’s dreams come true.
oh how that dragon mocked us…”look how high i am in the sky! come and get me!”
yup, this is pretty much how the middle and end of the bbq looked to most of us. note: this photo is not turned sideways, prospect park was actually at an angle on saturday, hence silver’s inability to stand.
piñata number 1 made a lovely top hat (thanks sb!). considering ao and i still seem to be on our feet, this must have been early in the bbq.
union square, new york
well, let’s just get this out of the way, the name of this drawing is, ‘horsticles.’ sitting drawing in union square with steph, all the highschool kids were moving around too much to be drawn, so pondering what to draw next, there in front of us was the statue of george washington atop his trusty steed. needless to say, the angle was awkward, but draw it i did.
