[Originally published, September, 2007] December (2007) marks the 10-year anniversary of my “cartoons drawn on the back of business cards” format. Here’s some random notes on the subject, in no particular order: 1. I came up with the format in early December. I moved to New York about a week and a half later. But the format […]
[Barbara Kruger. Untitled (I shop therefore I am). 111″ by 113″. Photographic silkscreen/vinyl, 1987. Courtesy of the Mary Bo.] PART ONE: Back in my young, early, I got really interested in the work of Barbara Kruger (she uses words and pictures, so it makes sense, right?). I hadn’t discovered her work through an art gallery, […]
This is a video of one of my Moleskine drawings, currently hanging on the wall at gapingvoid Central. I don’t make too many of the Moleskine drawings, so they sell out quickly [though if you are ever in the market, I’m always happy to talk etc].
We Need To Talk! This print is currently up for auction on eBay. Originally drawn in 1998, this is one of Hugh’s most popular images. Currently the 24″ x 36″ is in our gallery for $2,975. The piece that is in the auction is an 18″ x 24″ image size, which Hugh will sign and personalize […]
[Sent out originally in the newsletter etc.] This year, Hugh’s set aside some time this month to draw for you.

Instead of the usual $3 – 5,000 for an image, he’ll draw you your own, custom image starting at just $500. […]

Some of you will see a sunrise. Much like the famous philosophical discourse between skeptics and […]
[Moleskine drawing from 2009: “Tried Meaningful”. You can see the enlarged image here. See more like this over at the Moleskine archive etc.] “Ideas that do not risk offense, aren’t.” And yes, your business is an idea. Your product is an idea. The conversation you’re trying to have with your market is also an idea. Hey, […]
This one is called “The Intense Longing”. The latest from the “Moleskine” series [Click here to enlarge etc]. Friday night I was in Marfa, hearing my favorite local band, The Doodlin’ Hogwallops, play a gig at Padre’s. Because I was driving, I wasn’t drinking any alcohol, so I just stuck to black coffee the whole night. […]
Very cool. “Tried Life”, one of my favorites from the “Moleskine” series, is now for sale over on the gallery. You can see the enlarged image here.

His work acknowledges the absurdity of workaday life, while also encouraging employees to respond with passion, creativity, and non-conformity...
