Israel

I spent the last few weeks of 2008 in Israel on my Birthright with my boyfriend (and favorite ever travel buddy) Craig.

Here are some pictures.

PDFA print on NBC's Heroes

The Partnership for a Drug Free America ads I art directed made a five second appearance on Heroes this week when the character Hiro holds up a comic book in front of a suspicious looking Seth Green.

Check out some screenshots below, or watch the episode on Hulu.com

Meryl for a Drug-free America


Hey all,

Here's a print ad I art-directed for Partnership for a Drug Free America (a National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign), illustrated by Gordon Wiebe.

Two others are coming out later this year.

It's currently running on the back of (sometimes inside of) DC and Marvel comics- so pop over to your local comic book store, read some comics, and check em out.

..and stop doing drugs.


love meryl

"The Perfect Age of Rock 'N' Roll"

So it's been about a month since I've posted anything, but I'm back with some fun news.

Three of my illustrations are being used for the set of an upcoming Spike Lee production called "The Perfect Age of Rock 'N' Roll."

Looks like it finally hit the imdb radar.

*UPDATE* Cell Phone's Dead- LONG LIVE MY iPhone!

Hey all,

After years of shouting curses at my phone/much verbal abuse, it finally tuckered out last night. *(Sunday night)*

Its body may have given out, but its soul lives on.-* In my new Ultra-Hip iPhone *

I still have the same phone number.

I promise to not check my email all the time while you are talking to me.

Seein' Red





Went back to Lucky Cat yesterday to get in some drawin'. I'm relatively happy with these three.

However, it was way way way too crowded--and their "Tribute" to Stalinism theme included them denying my friend Britt of a Diet Coke.

Boobie traps



Checked out this laid back drawing class at this bar Lucky Cat in 'Billyburg yesterday afternoon.
Really enjoyed the model and her burlesque boobie traps gettup. It was initially supposed to be "a tribute to Bowie," so some good music was playing as well.
I'm psyched about going back.

Teenage Space Ship

My buddy John put together this pretty kickass silkscreened book called "Teenage Space Ship," featuring a number of illustrators (myself included) and artists from B-more, Philly, CT and New York.

They were printed in a limited run of 49, so I figured I'd post a few images.

Train








People going places on the LIRR.

The guy on the top right is my favorite. He always sat with those huge headphones on from the early 80's and was furiously pounding away at some kind of math problem like the world depended on it. Maybe it did. Spooky.

Very much reminded me of Robert's character in Proof.

Physically Impossible




Pretty sure this is a physical impossibility.

Björk revised



Björk, done a few years ago, but I finally finallllly blew up those twin birds on the bottom left. I think it helps enormously. Haven't painted in a while- I would really like to do more work like this....

Doctors



Professors from vintage yearbooks who could be convincing doctors.
