This is a tattoo design that I did for one of my best friends. The inspiration for this one was the old Ford Econoline that he used to drive in high school. This van was our shuttle on countless expeditions to Guitar Showcase, where many hours were spent trying out gear that we would never actually buy. This is the first tattoo I've ever tried to design, I hope it looks as killer on skin as it does on screen.

Here is a logo design I did for The Public Access Show. My buddy Arjun (who also plays drums in Wallpaper) is the mastermind behind this amazing program. He just posted the second episode which features a sweet animated version of the logo. Go check it out!

Here is a new shirt design I did for the band Horseneck. I got to see them play with Red Fang a while back and it was rad. This illustration was primarily inspired by the armor that horses wore into battle. And yeah, horses are a bitch to draw. Luckily this one is just a bust, cuz when you get down to the legs things start getting real.

A while back I entered a logo design contest for the Hellyer County Park Velodrome. I wanted to go for something with a retro feel to it since all of my memories of that place are from my childhood. My mom and I used to ride our bikes there when I was a kid and watch the racers do their thing. Anyway, I didn't win the contest but I still like what I made.

Some process pics from my most recent printing project.

2012-01-05T12:29:00.001-08:00

Here is a new screen print that I did last week. I'm really happy with how these came out. It seems like each time I take on a new printing project I learn something new about the process that makes things easier for the next one. With each new project I feel my technique getting cleaner and more consistent. Anyway! This is a drawing I did some years ago. It was originally used for some shirts I printed up for the annual pilgrimage to Salt Point. I still feel like it's one of the best things I've drawn. This screen printed poster is 3 ink colors printed on 11 x 17 white paper, with an edition of 20 prints. I'll be putting them up for sale on the webstore shortly.

"The Transformation" shirt design

This is a one is a digital collage made out of images culled from various old Life magazines. The primary image of the girl enchanted with the light bulb was taken from an article documenting early LSD experiments.

The shirts are for sale at Duder Manor.

"Live Forever" is a kaleidoscopic image constructed digitally using photographs I've taken of the Dudleya Farinosa that grows at Salt Point. Succulents are some of my favorite plants, and this one is my favorite succulent.

I have a lot of digital work that doesn't end up on this blog for whatever reason. Anyways, that ends now, a lot more of this stuff is going to start showing up here from now on.

I've been working on this drawing on and off for over a year. Now that's it's finally finished I've decided that I want to add a background and a bunch of other crap, so perhaps in another year it will truly be done. The original idea of this drawing was inspired by a level in Golden Axe where you do battle in a village on the back of a giant sea turtle. This guy here is more of a snapper, so when I finally get around to doing the rest he will be traversing a more swamp like environment. I've got some other plans in store for it as well, but you will have to wait until it's complete to see them.

2011-09-08T16:53:00.000-07:00

Just finished some new prints of this illustration recently. This is a project I'd been meaning to get done for a really long time now and I finally got around to doing it. Originally this illustration was done for the Unkut Hunks record, but since that ended up not getting released I wanted to do some prints of it myself. In case you were wondering, it is a cyclops wizard riding a metal seahorse through an eyeball vortex.

I'm really happy with how these came out overall. The colors on the background are blended manually, so every print will be slightly different. It also glows in the dark! I also printed a layer of metallic pearl ink on the seahorse and the hilt of the sword. It's not really visible on this scan but from certain angles a subtle metallic sparkle is visible.

I only made 15 of these guys, I'll be putting them up in the webstore soon.

A new shirt design for the Sacramento Bike Kitchen

This design is for their Hunt the Grid event, a bike scavenger hunt. I've been doing a lot of hand drawn stuff lately, but with this one I really enjoyed doing some digital illustration again.

A new poster design for the Sac Bike Kitchen

Since this is a "hunt" I thought that a wall mounted hunting trophy would be a fun image for this poster. In this case, it's a bike, with the handlebars acting as antlers. A screen print of this is on the way. Additionally, Rita and I will be setting up a Duder Manor shop at the event, selling shirts, prints, and other stuff.

unless / letting go of what you never had
7" record cover

This is the packaging for the final Unless recordings. This was a band that I "sang" in. I'm really proud of this record, and it is a shame that the band ended so soon after it was released. Anyway, I'm quite pleased with how the packaging came out. I hand printed all 300 of them, and it was exhausting.

The white ink that I used to mix this mint green was super crusty and lumpy, making the first color a chore to print. They came out great though, I think this may be my favorite of the posters that I've done so far.

I'm going to South America in a few days, and I'm really glad I was able to get this done before my trip. I don't want to have this guy lurking in the back of my mind while I'm trying to relax. Anyway, I'm really pumped on how this came out. If I end up screen printing I will probably have to reduce the number of colors, but the internet is a realm of infinite possibilities and colors, so for now it will remain like this.

There is going to be some sweet psychedelic sounds as well. The event is free so if you're going to be in the Sacramento area you should come check it out. The Bike Kitchen will also be selling the new t-shirts that I did for them. Below is a pic of what those look like.

Here are some (crappy) photos of the finished posters. They are hand printed with black and metallic gold ink. 34 of these got printed to be sold at the show. Pretty much all of them are gone at this point but I might put some of the remaining few up for sale at Duder Manor some time in the future. The show itself was great, probably the best set I've ever seen them play. I'm glad I was able to involved somehow.
