Picked up the latest issue of @grandjournal at @onegrandbooks and got to see my illustration in print for the first time — always a surreal moment.

Loved chatting with editor @aaronovitch about how the piece pairs with “Michael’s Marriages” by Myles Zavala — desire, distortion, and intimacy on the page.

Available now at @onegrandbooks and @casamagazinesnyc and online at grandjournal.net

And if you’re in @narrowsburgny this weekend, don’t miss the @deepwaterliteraryfest. Kickoff events tonight by @kevinhaysmusic @dvartsalliance @the_parlor_ny and through the weekend

Another illustration from an old issue of Grand Journal, a literary magazine created out of Narrowsburg by Aaron Hicklin. The location was scouted on Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, but the topography got vastly changed. Character reference picture captured on a Facetime call with my friend Dani Case. You don’t always need to have your models nearby. This was for a short story by Joanna Herson. (Apple Pencil drawing, 2021.)

I don’t post often enough process steps featuring the skeleton of my pictures. This is for Grand Journal, illustrating a short story by Mary Rueffle. Found the appropriate location five minutes from my home. But gave up on including the moon. (Apple Pencil drawing, 2023.)

Featured in Grand Journal today: THE GREAT ESCAPE: How Thomas Allen Crafts New Tales from Old Pulp, by Aaron Hicklin, Editor in Chief

Read this insightful feature in the NEWS section on the Gallery’s website, and at grandjournal.net

Grand Journal was founded in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, as a forum for emerging and established writers. It is rooted in a passionate love of story-telling in all its forms, and an abiding belief that a print journal has a unique and special place in the cultural space, as distinct from online journals, arising in part from the profoundly creative process of selection, layout and design, and from the innate limitations of print that make curation all the more critical. The journal is predicated on giving space to a diverse and inclusive community of writers and artists across multiple genres including fiction, poetry, reportage, criticism, essays, memoir, and art and photography.

Like its parent, the bookstore One Grand Books, Grand Journal is based in the tiny town of Narrowsburg, on the New York/Pennsylvania border, and seeks to celebrate the literary and artistic life outside the metropolitan cities that the media typically centers. At the same time, it resists fetishizing rural or small town America over cities, or the liminal spaces in between, and looks outwards beyond the U.S. to identify writers around the world, often in fresh translation. It is fundamentally interested in an ongoing and electric conversation on what it means to be an engaged citizen of the world.
