Paint it Black

I was a little cranky when I wrote that last post. So here's something more up beat for my triumphant return. It's acrylic on canvas. I painted the canvas black before I started, not because I'm goth but because I think a black surface sets off color better than white. I also think that real painting is kinda cooler than painting in the old computer (a year ago I didn't feel that way so much) but there's no shame in painting with pixels if that's all you got...

I have another painting I'll share next week...Well, we'll see about that.

...And I was all, like AHHHH! AAAHHHH!!!

I don't think I've put up a post scenes Blogger changed the format around. It's been long enough so that I'm not even sure that that's true. Blogger's format changing is like a symbol all these other sudden changes that happened over the last few weeks. (months?) I handled these circumstances all by shutting down because I'm an adult and it's not cool to cry and brake everything. You know how it goes, you miss a trip to the gym, don't practice your guitar, don't smoke that rock of crack once and then it becomes easier not to do it again and again...

I'll also mention that I was out of town for this show that the flier above is for so I don't know if Humungus played that night or not. 

Here's to putting out more weekly Post that NO ONE will comment on. I'm going to draw a skull and cry.

It's done, I can sleep now!

Windhand Wednesday

I put some ink on this last weekend. I doodled it in pencil a year or two ago and just forgot about it. Inking it was more fun than I've had drawing in a long time. On the down side, it's huge and scanning it will be a real pain in the can. The drawing also come to the very edge of the paper so if anyone wants it framed that's going to a really hateful task.

I was asking myself just last week if I would ever be asked to do more show fliers again. Just after that, I was asked to do a hand full of them. So, I'm going to be really busy for the next few weeks. Here's the first one. It's going to be a righteous show.



If you haven't heard Windhand, do yourself a favor and check 'em out! What's do they sound like? Well, do you like Black Sabbath? Of course you do!

Shut up and give them a listen!

The Dagon Girl is Mine

I don't have anything funny or interesting to say discuss tonight. I'm actually getting work done, so, smell ya later!

Cold War Weak

I've been battling a cold all week. I can't draw for squat when I'm sick. I'm a big fat baby like that. Instead I colored some drawings in one of my sketch books with acrylics. I've been meaning to do this for a while. My kid really like watching the old Charlie Brown cartoon specials. The backgrounds for those are really textured and painterly. I think I've had enough Photo Shop flat coloring for a while.




So, I should really use a better camera to photograph my art if I do more of this kind of hand colored work. I probably won't get to do either for a while.

Eye Out For Occultist

Hey, Occultist is going on the road pretty soon. So you should do yourself a favor and get to the show on time and check them out. They are for the most part and D-beat punk/metal band. It's got nice mix of blacken darkness, a hint of sludge doom and crust punk influences. They used the term inverted crossover on a t-shirt and I think that best describes the sound.

I did this flier a while ago for this show.








This one below is almost unwatchable but there are so may bad-ass Tonka tough riff in the damn song I just couldn't leave it out. Of course it's also not on the demo either, so your welcome.




Check Occultist out on Band Camp!
