The 1940s and 50s were kind of a bad time to be anyone other than a white, wealthy, heterosexual, healthy, American, adult man, but don’t you EVER say they didn’t go hard as hell on the illustrations for their children’s books. Clearly they didn’t get the memo that these pics would be going with pages full of “They went in a big airplane. It took them far up in the air.”

Idk if it’s the way they’re looking up at the sky or the heavy shadows or the monochrome or what, but it feels kind of apocalyptic in a way, like the vibes are off and you’re in for the ride of your life. (first five pics from “We Look And Listen” copyright 1955, last pic from “Around the Corner” copyright 1948, tho my copy is from 49 I think)

Some of you guessed it, I’ve got a Unicorn art book coming - Kickstarter opening June 1st!

I’ve gotten a lot of requests over the years for an art book of my unicorn illustrations, and so I’ve finally put one together – it will feature the illustrations I created in the years 2019-2022, along with all the fun unicorn lore that accompanied them.

I’ll be running it as a kickstarter to cover the cost of printing the book - naturally I’ll be launching the kickstarter in June, in honor of Junicorn, the most whimsical of months. If you’d like to support the project when it launches, you can find it here:

Despite constituting Egon Schiele’s largest body of work, his landscapes, townscapes and depictions of fauna are vastly overshadowed by his famous portraits and nudes. This circumstance is all the more regrettable since they are an indispensable part of his work that, just like his portraits, investigate the conditio humana and are charged with symbolism. Predominantly painted during the less intensive seasons spring and fall the paintings tell of the blossoming and fading of nature, a well-known allusion to the ephemeral nature of life itself. Gnarled trees with good reason are reminiscent of Schiele’s depiction of human bodies and the frequently returning sunflowers are shown in the different stages of their life cycle. In the figurative sense this also applies to his townscapes of which some seem to be fictitious but most are observations of a limited amount of towns. he created during escapes from bustling Vienna: on several occasions Schiele painted his mother’s birthplace Krumau, a picturesque medieval town, from different vantage points and often in invented configurations. In „Tote Stadt III [City on the Blue River]“ for example he manipulated the topography in such a way that a group of houses is on three sides surrounded by the black Moldau, giving the painting an oppressive and seemingly sealed character in which the river takes on the role of a menacing danger.

The aforementioned painting also is part of the Neue Galerie New York’s current exhibition „Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes“ running through January 13, 2025, and presenting a large number of Schiele’s landscapes and nature-related works. As usual the accompanying catalogue has been published by Prestel and, besides reproducing the works included in the exhibition, provides in-depth insights into Schiele’s enigmatic works: curator Christian Bauer e.g. explains the symbolic dimension of his landscapes while Franz Small delves deep into characteristics and underlying allusions of his townscapes, a great help for reading and understanding this body of work that is so worth discovering! Warmly recommended!

Homesick is a loose body of work I made in 2020-2022 when I was grappling with various longings. I compiled the work into a zine in 2024 at the behest of a friend and included some introspective writing alongside the paintings. The zine is available for free PDF download on my website :)

Some highlights 🦷 from my art book „shame feeds greedily on silence - a collection“, 2024

(a collection of my own fallen out hair, hair given from loved ones, my toenails, my teeth)

I was curious about exploring the question: why are some people repulsed by their own hair, teeth, nails, or other parts of that belonged to their very own body, once it’s cut off and separated from themselves?
