Pearl Jam concert poster

Pencil + Photoshop, 16.5" x 24"

This is my submission for the Space 242 90's rock posters and beyond project. I'm really hoping to push out another one tomorrow (Marcy Playground), so we'll see how much sleep I really need to function before I get to that. Working digitally strains my eyes greatly, but at least I have a new, beautiful 23" screen to work on.

I love Pearl Jam, and my plan is to one day have a purple '94 Toyota Tercel with a "PRL JAM" vanity plate. It's going to be amazing.

Anyways, I hope it makes it into the show - I love doing events with 242 and the people there. I always have a wonderful time at their openings, and I've met a lot of great people there.



Also: THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the show, and those who had me in their thoughts! It was a great success in my opinion, and there were so many wonderful works there. I was greatly humbled by the caliber of work there. So much talent - AMAZING.

The gallery is open Monday - Friday until about 6 or 7 for the next month, so if you didn't get a chance to catch the opening, you can still take a look. It's definitely worth it.

Group Show Opening tonight!

Oilhead: Finished design

Hey guys, I just finished the t-shirt design for my friend Britteny's band Oilhead.

I'm really happy to have gotten to do some apparel design, and I can't wait to see them printed. It was a nice challenge to have to work around the printing process (whites under colors to make sure they pop out on black) and solving some technical issues via Photoshop. Did I mention how AMAZING it is to work on a computer that works?? 600 res files? Pshhh, my computer can handle that. In fact, it can handle several.


I also finished that mural for Blick - if you happen to be in the Fenway area in Boston, you should stop by my store and check it out! It'll only be up for the next week or two, but I'm really pleased with how it came out, especially the mum. (Don't pay any attention to the wayward maple leaf...)


Thanks for looking! More art updates soon.

October is Art Month

New window mural sketch for Blick for a contest.

This will be approximately 12 feet by 12 feet on the middle glass window at Blick, facing the street.

I also made little cutouts of leaves that I'm going to hang from the ceiling on the sides. I think it's going to look pretty!


It'll be started and finished tomorrow, so come by Fenway and check it out!

Thanks for looking!

Oilhead Tshirt Concept

Here's a tshirt design I'm working on for my friend's band Oilhead. Their band has really good energy - very upbeat, hip, trendy, with a good edge. All of the members are very level-headed and professional, and I can appreciate the technical background they've all come from.

So here's my first sketch for them, for a one- to two-color shirt print.

Thanks for looking!

Bats!

Here are a couple of small bat paintings I made in spirit of the season. I used to hate fall (California = always summer), but now I can truly appreciate riding my bike with a bit of wind chill and appreciating all things candycorn and pumpkin beer. Halloween is my favorite holiday.


So here are a couple of bat buddies. Just something easy while I couldn't find my pallet.


Materials used: two 4" circle wooden panels, layered with paint and sanded down, characters painted in acryla gouache and finished with Holbein rub-on comic transfers. I'm planning on putting these two little guys at my next gallery show (stay tuned!!)

Portrait Portrait

This is my work area at the moment, until I can get another desk.

I work at my computer desk with two screens, the big one for freelance/editing. I can't believe I ever worked without it, before. Ugh.

Also, if you zoom in, that's a recent painting I made. Lots of sad times lately, but I'm working through them. Bean a champ.

I just really liked this picture, and I rarely like looking at myself, so enjoy.



I know you love the flip flops.
