I have a new project in mind of some superheroes ordering drinks at a bar. I plan on making this one in real life if you get me, and framing it all up. This is a rough sketch of the Batman progression.
Legends of Rock #02 - Neil Young
Next up, the most American Canadian ever to grace us with rock and roll music. There isn't a whole lot I can say about Neil Young other than the man's a true Legend Of Rock and his run of 5 albums from 68-74 is unrivaled in my estimation of rock singer/songwriters.
A Neil mix for proof of prowess.

More art in a long line of art for DJ Lani Love. This mix was done for the nail art magazine Tipsyzine. They're both pretty excellent at what they do, so head over and check out the pretty wicked nail art and Lani's other mixes. Yeah, and don't forget to actually look at the album art!
Process Post: Cover Art
Again, a view into the way I work for better or worse. Process of the cover art for DJ Lani Love’s winter mixtape Snow To Stars. Projects for Lani always get me to work in a more sleek, hip fashion. Not much room for smiling pixelart or batmen, but I’d like to think I can do cool too. You be the judge (I’ve decided this is going to be pretty cool if I stick to it, but your confidence is highly appreciated).
Step 1 & 2.
Left: Extra rough sketch for the basic layout and concept. I went with the snow and stars. Right: Less awful rendering of Ms. Love. Coolness tip: head slightly raised, shoulders slightly back? Coolness. Who knows why.
Step 3 & 4.
Left: Serious cleanup of the face and hair with a rough shape for the space-blouse. Right: Her hair loaded the right side of the frame unexpectedly - so the sweet gloves and dropping the collar for a bit more asymmetrical balance.
Step 5.
Clean it all up. Next step will involve the tough decisions of shading, color, text, etc.

My buddy does an epic Wrestlemania party each year, so I made some "get out of a shot" cards for the various games where when you lose, you drink. I think it's the only way to get people pumped about wrestling if they're not already. I went with a few famous finishers here. I'm new to wrestling but I already know I missed the best guys, namely Hulk and Macho Man.
I've undertaken a project to catalogue all the bad guys in each X Files episode. I've started on season 3 since that's where I was when getting the idea. I've about 200 or so left to do... Poster series to come. You can check out detailed info for each here.
Season 3 Episode 11 in which a man with hot hands hunts those who exhibit the signs of the stigmata.
This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!
Continuing on this Record Store Week "release all my music" bonanza comes Prescription Strength Hugs' Detuskit EP. I'd consider this part of my "Serengeti" phase - lots of drums, recorders, saws and various percussions. Check out the album art and listen to the tracks! You can get the album on my Bandcamp page, thanks!
