My Friends

This post is for three of my friends who are better artists than I am and I sometimes rip them off.

1. Ben Sears

Ben drums in a band called Mountain Asleep who rule. His drawings are all over the midwest in the form of shirts and album covers for every band ever. He likes to do gratuitous details; really long curvy things like intestines and a lot of clouds and things. I’m trying not to rip him off anymore.




2. Mez

Mez makes me embarassed. She is a few years younger than me and way better than me. She lives in Australia and I’ve admittedly never met her but maybe I’ll be in that hemisphere again. Her digital work is very detailed and clean, and her colored pencil work makes me jealous.



3. Matt Barnes

Matt is in the awesome band Bears. Every time we hang out, we share sketchbooks and I get really jealous of his style, then spend the next week or so trying to emulate it. His screen printing is super pro and makes me want to start printing again and wish I wasn’t so lazy. He also always gives me things to make me better and encourage me to keep working.
