For the night readers, here’s a new piece for Bushwick Daily’s fiction section (Sunday Read). It’s for a story by Frances Gill’s short “Eavesdropping”.
New comics! My best friend Josh wrote a comic and I begged him to draw it. He’s a brilliant comedian and has gotten incredible at stand-up. We’re going to make more great comics, even with the entire length of this country keeping us apart.
I also have a comic over at Bygone Bureau, so go check it out (and all of their other great articles).
HAPPY ASH WEDNESDAY. GO PUT ASH ON YOUR FOREHEAD
THIS IS A YEAR OF MY LIFE. Over 80 pages from my sketchbook, finally collected in one place.
One of the roughest years of my life, written down and spanning from February 2012 - December 2012. Feel free to try and read it, but if not, just look at the pretty pictures! Thank you all for following my tumblr and this project I spent ‘12 doing. You’re so fantastic!
Comedy! Magazines! RE:COM published its sixth issue, available now right here. This is the illustration I did for a column by Jonas Polsky, teaching you how to become a better heckler. It was a fun article, total tongue-in-cheek, but I got to do a cool ninja drawing nonetheless. The challenge I find with doing illustrations for stand-up is trying to find an angle that is more than just a comedian and a microphone. Thanks to my art director and editor Kristy Mangel for the spot!
Check out my site to see Polsky’s accompanying article!
I’ve been illustrating for my neighborhood news blog, Bushwick Daily, and making some of the most freeing fun work ever. I’m just experimenting and trying things out, and hopefully finding some hits with them.
I have scans or pencils and inks on my website, and links to the articles there, too. Cheers!
Nick Kroll’s KROLL SHOW premieres tonight on Comedy Central! I love Kroll a lot, I especially liked his stand up special Thank You Very Cool. So much that I did an illustration of three of my fave characters of him. Now that he’s got his own sketch show, I had to repost this.

Oh my goodness! This was in my queue and I meant to write something for it. But then life took over and AAAGH!
I did a bunch of these animals while at the Museum of Natural History with two of my best friends Kate and Lauren. I love going and sketching with them. Just good company, fun stuff to look at, and then usually a meal and good conversation after. That, really, is all I need in life. I love going, all three of us lined up on a bench, using different materials, drawing in different styles, and having pedestrians walk by, stop and talk with the three of us together. It’s a great icebreaker to talk to people you would normally not talk to. We love getting old ladies chattin’ and cracking jokes, too.
And now that the Theodore Roosevelt Room of North American Animals opened back up (it was closed ALL summer!), we’ve got to go and get another sketching trip out of it.
Love,
Jeremy
Happy Apocalypse! This is my contribution to my buddy Luis Echaverria’s upcoming anthology. A lot of great people are int his book. And as a bonus, it’s being printed in both English and Spanish versions. It was fun to handletter for both editions. Stay safe, and alive!
