Letterpress design

Another letterpressed design, with the image dominating the overall design instead of the type. I carved the fighting roosters out of a linoleum block and used 10 line Gothic Extra Condensed wood type for the lettering. I printed 9 total on beige colored BFK paper. Also on a flat-bed cylinder Vandercook press.

Letterpressed broadsheet

Letterpressed broadsheet printed with a flat-bed cylinder Vandercook proof press. The type used was 30pt Garamond Light and the paper used is grey BFK. The quote was taken from Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian.

       I carved the image of Death riding a horse from a linoleum block mounted on wood. This is the block after printing.

Pagan deer skull commission

Pagan deer skull design drawn up as a commission for a friend hoping to eventually have it tattooed.

The Magbar show

 
This design was mostly inspired by the work of artist Horsebites (Richard Minino) and Ivan Bilibin. Drawn with ink on Bristol. Used Photoshop for color, text, and touch-ups.

The County Line

Ink on Bristol paper. This is my second attempt at trying to copy the style of an old engraving or woodcut, only with pen and ink.

Below is the final product in the form of a cardboard CD case. The album was recorded at Nic Braune's home by Brian Seong. The layout was finalized by Kyle Ellis.

So here is my first posting since the summer, shortly before leaving FL on the motorcycle trip. Living in Louisville Kentucky right now and just finished the cover art for The County Line's debut album.

Vessels of Energia design

So here we have it, the final design for the Vessels of Energia t-shirts. Its a better version of the original Zapatista piece, with the lettering crudely inserted into the design via Photoshop.

"bee yourself" test sketches

This series was started as a commission for a friend who wanted a tattoo design based around a skull wearing a beard of bees. These three rough ink sketches were the final results, and he chose the Civil War-themed sketch as the final design.

Here's the final product on our very own Corbin. I begged him to get the 'bee yourself' banner but I guess even he has limits. The work was done by ryan from Automatic Tattoo in Melbourne, FL.

So this is the blog. I only have the one finished piece up right now, but there will be more to come within the next few days. Thats right, check back and check back often.
