Been a while since I posted, so I'll try to catch everyone up. This was the flier for the Shitstorm/Holly Hunt West Coast show back in July. Seeing as it was my good friends from Torche,  I had to do the design for the show. Not to mention, Holly Hunt destroys and has Betty from Cavity/Floor on drums. This show killed!

Currently working on the new Torche album cover and after a setback I'm rolling through the inking and colouring process. Seeing as I won't be showing off all too much of the cover during the process, I thought I would show everyone the VagBot (left) and the CockBot (right). Yeah, it's like that.

I'm happy to announce that I will be working with Ryan Kasparian and Burial Clothing! 

The first design is a reprint of the "Reptilian" design. This originally was limited to 50 shirts and was printed white on black. Burial has revived the design and will be printing it in silver this time.

"Antlereye" is the second design and was an illustration used for a collaboration poster with Brokenpress. This tee carries the illustration only from that design.

Burial also has tons of shirts from other awesome artists such as Ryan Kasparian, Chris Angelucci, Bruno Guerreir, Aaron Riddle, and more.

The awesome folks over at Brouwer's Cafe recently commissioned me to design a t-shirt for this years Hopfest. I guess my work for Epic Ales is how Matt and Nat came to find me and we quickly went to work on figuring out an idea. They had a "hop demon" from previous Hopfests, so they asked that I metal him up and make him look more menacing. Demons are pretty easy to make more grim and they were stoked on the final design.  You can read more about Hopfest on their blog and if you live in Seattle, WA, you can head down to Brouwer's Cafe starting Thursday, September 26th- Sunday, September 29th.

Now that I'm settled into my new art room, the designs have been being pumped out at a quick rate. Take for example the new "Space Owl" design for Kevelrtak. It took only one week to complete as they needed it in a time crunch. Erlend gave me the idea of a sci-fi/robot owl and the first thing that came to mind was more inspired by Bubo from the 1981 Clash Of The Titans movie than a new style mech owl. I also wanted to reference a real owl, so I added the horned owl skull in it's talons along with the real owl's claws attached by thin ropes to the it's jawbone. I wanted it to be sort of a "machine conquering flesh" sort of vibe going on in the design. The guys are really happy with it and i'm hoping that they'll have them when they head to Australia on Saturday. If not, then they should have them on their upcoming US tour with High On Fire starting November 10th.
