Ouch

So this hands-hurting thing has really taken a toll on how quickly I’m getting stuff done. Hopefully resting them for the weekend will let me power through and get a lot taken care of next week. Vacation work power session!

Getting there

I’ll wait before I post the rest, but I figure I can get one animal done a night, then spend a day on the background. After that, got some new ideas for how to color it thanks to some new free/cheap supplies

Starting a new big deal that’ll take a bit

Got a big project. Here’s day 1. Trust me, it’ll be awesome when it’s all put together.

Los B at the Limelight Lounge, Haverhill MA, 6/29

More stuff coming

Gonna have a new flyer up by Saturday afternoon for a show at O’Brien’s in Allston featuring Luau, the Big Sway, Old Grey, and Oh The Humanity!.

Finally getting something done outside of Lowell!

Until then, anxiously awaiting the arrival of these 4.25×5.5 stickers:

Flyer for Los Bungalitos, KDC, My Fictions, The Turn, Matahari, and Oh the Humanity! at the Tap, Haverhill MA June 29th

This is what Los B looks like.

THE FUTURE

So I’m doing a little networking this week. I’ve got a lot of talented friends and it turns out I haven’t done anything that really pushed my limits in a long time, so I’m reaching out to everybody and I’ve gotten a few responses already. Expect to see some epic pieces this year, definitely.

 

SO MANY COLORS AND VOMIT

“Learn to be p…

“Learn to be poor yet dedicated, forever. Step away from the computer every chance you can and learn how to be flexible as an artist/designer. Learn art history, color theory, grid systems, typography, photography, and illustration. Work with other artists/designers around you. We all learn from one another. Education is everything, but the institution isn’t. School is great, but retaining information is better. With that said, Art School is great for some and a waiting room for others. It’s certainly not a requirement to be an artist. Once you have a knowledge base, the world is yours to make.”

New Flyer, April 28th, the Worthen Lowell MA

A quick on in that pop art style I do. Color scheme blatantly stolen from the book cover for Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad (awesome book, each chapter focuses on an in-depth behind the scenes view of the rise and occasional fall of some legendary indie/post-hardcore 80’s-90’s bands).

Given the influx lately of kids moshing or being all-around unpleasant at shows, I think I might keep going with this “Play Nice” tag at the bottom. I’m sure the bartenders at the Worthen have no problems with it saying “tip well.”

That’s that!

P.S. It’s a lady giving birth in a kiddie pool, only I changed her head for a horse, just so you know.
