Emily The Strange is a counterculture icon and lifestyle brand created by Rob Reger and his company Cosmic Debris.

I was the first artist hired by Cosmic Debris to be dedicated to the character and brand. I worked there as the lead designer and art director 1999-2006.
In 2019 just before the Pandemic I returned to Cosmic for what they now call content creation, and began creating new designs for t-shirt, and developed the stop-motion animations for reels.

New release: This Is How I Draw Cats Now is a 32 page paper zine booklet. Each copy is individually packaged within a series of informational barriers.

These books are written and illustrated and designed and laid out by me and printed right down the road at Green Copy, which is a 22 minute walk from my home.

Available for purchase at the Pillowgoat Book Shop. Follow This Is How I Draw Cats Now on Instagram.

I created Oopsy Daisy in 1999 in collaboration with Cosmic Debris. It quickly became a successful t-shirt and stationery line and international licensed character. The brand became inactive in 2006. In 2018 Emily and I revived the characters and further developed them. The Oopsy Daisy universe includes GoraX, Princess Pretty, and Sidney Punk. Visit their Instagram pages and the Oopsy Shop for T-Shirts.

Local Artist, Local Art What started as an activity to get off the computer in the early evenings, turned into a multitude of demented documenting projects based on my immediate neighborhood that I have lived in for 25 years. My neighborhood projects began innocently enough through plein air paintings documenting the changing neighborhood (2014-2020), and later took a turn into the unknown through road construction documentation (2021-2022), and mapping and surveying (2020-2022), and is now settled on what I call Temescal Now, a booklet documenting local businesses (2022-2024). Parts of these projects have been published as zines, brochures, and videos. Brian Brooks Art Institute

Bus Stop Build-Out Construction Drawings are a series of time-lapse videos documenting my work documenting two bus stop build-outs being installed in my neighborhood. These fast-paced videos were recorded with just a tripod and me, trusting that no one would steal my equipment as I ventured sometimes a block away, and looking like a fool in every way. The videos were filmed and edited in a single evening, with soundtracks, sound effects, and graphics added the same day.

Hooper’s Loopers is a series of short improv time-lapse videos with sound effect and soundtracks developed in 2018-2019. Each video begins and ends with the artist facing a door alongside the back lot of Hooper’s Chocolates, a vacant chocolate factory.
