Revenge Of Thrash And Burn

I got home last night form band practice and immediately sat down and stippled in this new environment for Mr. Skull. Most of my drawings have a real weak spot for background design. Normally I just draw a black boarder around whatever is in the drawing and call it a day. From now on I'm going to stop being a lazy bum with composition and think of better background/foreground relationship.

Yeah, how many times do I make these dumb declarations?

Man, I really hope the band likes this....

Thrash and Burn, Misadventures with Coffee, Speed Metal & No Sleep.

I got a message from one of the dudes in Blasthrash asking for artwork. Blasthrash is a killer Brazilian speed metal group. I think very highly of them and it was a real thrill to have them want some of my artwork. I did this pencil drawing that very night.




A day or two later I sat down to ink the bastard. I had a bunch of coffee and really went over board of the stippling. It turned a drawing that I could have finished in a couple of hours into a drawing that took me many, many, many hours.

Better than nothing

More Fliers

Here are a few fliers I've done in the past few months. I really wanted to do something cooler for the Anvil flier but it was a real rushed job and I didn't have the time to draw anything for it. Regardless of what's on it, it was cool to get do this at all.



This flier below ended up getting changed after Mortuary Drape and Deceased dropped off the show. This one ruled, Inquisition is indeed as good as everyone says.

Take the old ideas off the shelf, Recycle in 2012

It's a new year and I'm going to do more drawings(this time I mean it!!!) and post more art, DAMNIT! My son is two years old now. I have enough income to justify sitting at my drawing table. My life has fallen into a rhythm that I can work with so it's time to get back to work.

I've already been hard at work but my first order of business this year was to clean out my dusty dark studio and excavate enough space to work in. Instead of throwing away thousands of bits of paper I checked through stacks of old drawings, in search of something usable.


Yeah, none of this stuff is magic but it's all usable. And beats throwing it all away, too.


I did this Dan Seagraves looking thing above, at a friends house and let him keep it. This image was taken from my phone.

I did the drawing below awhile ago. One of the dudes I'm working while now made a general comment about women warriors in comix, video games, ect, never clothed in enough armor to protect their vital organ, or their not so vital organs either.




I did this drawing for an English punk band, who ended up keeping my the rough drawing, hiring another artist who inked over my work. Don't worry, I'll change the composition so it isn't the same drawing, yet again...That would be lazy and me stealing from folks who stole from me.



More soon. I'm off to the mall to run the kid and spread his cold!

BLACK METAL 2 Monday!

Alright! I finally got to see a copy of Black Metal 2 and I have a pin-up drawing (above) in the back of the book. I did this one in the mid summer. It's been really hard keeping this under wraps but there was no guarantee that the art would be in this book. Loose lips and stuff, you know?

Black Metal should be out in the next few weeks. It's on Oni Press, written by Rick Spears and drawn by Chuck BB. (who won an Eisner Award for his artwork in Black Metal 1) Don't sleep on this one! Buy some comix!!!


My band Gnawed is back in action in a few weeks, opening up for Deceased and sporting our new demo. I'll have more news about that soon and I'll try to offer a few tracks here.

Below are a few other fliers I've done in the past few months, enjoy. Happy Monday!

Oh Gawd...It's GNAWED!!!

I start recording vocal for my band GNAWED's demo tonight. On top of doing these design and fliers, I've been busy on a few long term projects, that I have to keep under my hat. So, the rock band has not taken away all my drawing time, if anyone is worried about that.
