Day of the Dead show 2009

My entry in the 2nd annual Tweet Day of the Dead show. It's made out of old wooden window blinds, wood trim from home depot and lots of sclupey.

Quickie done on a cardboard insert for a glove.

The Death of Spy

My piece from the Mad Generation art show at theThe Gallery in East Atlanta,

The Man Upstairs

I'm in a couple of Day of The Dead shows this Month. This one is for the Tweet Show. I made it out of Sculpy and Balsa wood. I heard it has sold already and the show doesn't even open till tomorrow.

Sigmund the Sea Monster

Here's the final. My pal Benji Williams did the coloring. Thanks Benji.

Boredom On The Planet of The Apes

This is the piece I did for the "Damn Dirty Apes" show, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the "Planet of the Apes".

More Birthday art

Lucha

Sorry about the bad scan. This one's still in the rough stages. It still needs a lot of work - anatomy problems, clothes, hair and hands all need to be redrawn. I'm gonna try and lose a lot of the detail and keep it simple. I started working on a couple of other Lucha drawings. Hopefully I will get back to them. I'm so busy with work that whenever I do have free time, I always want to move on to something new.

Mary Weiss

Here's a rough sketch of Mary Weiss from the Shangri-las. I'm headed to SXSW this month and I'm going to try my best to catch her show with the Reigning Sound. I roughed it out pretty quickly with a black ballpoint pen and the added the heavier blacks with a Micron and a Pigma brush pen.

Birthday drawing

Birthday drawing. I should post more of these. I'll see what I can dig up.

Wedding invite

This is a wedding invite I did for a friend of mine in California, and yes, I am a big Jim Flora fan.

New Tiger! Tiger! CD

This is some artwork I did for the new Tiger! Tiger! CD. It should be out in a couple of months. I've also been busy doing some simple flash animation for our new video. I've been trying to animate it in a looser style, trying to bang it out, a bit different for me. It's been fun. I'll post it when it's done.

Tammy

More to come.

Dolly

The latest piece in my ongoing "hair "series. I have the next three or four roughed out. Now if I can find the time...

Black Dagger

Sat. June 3rd at the EARL. Tiger! Tiger! Single and video release party - w/All Night Drug Prowling Wolves. Pre show (Black Daggers) ART SHOW!
This is something I'm working on for it.

Woggles Flyer

This is the flyer art for a short tour Tiger! Tiger! did with the Woggles.

The Woggles

This is the front and back cover of a 7 inch single I did for the Woggles a couple of years ago. This was an early attempt of mine to do something in a similar style to Langston Hughes. I stold the marquee design from an old Gene Deitch drawing. Sorry Gene. If you get a chance, check out Gene's book, Cat on a Hot Thin Groove. It's a collection of the Jazz cartoons he did for Record Changer magazine during the 40's and 50's. Another cool book that I look at frequently for inspiration is Langston Hughes' First Book of Jazz. Great stuff.

More Space Baby

A couple more Space Baby designs. You can see the difference here between my rough pencils and marker drawings and these finished inks. I ink everything by hand, scan it into photoshop and then clean it up.

Spacebaby designs

These are a couple of sketchbook pencil roughs I did for Spacebaby baby clothing. The finals were printed in silver on black baby tee's.

White Lights flyer

Here's something older. I did this for The White Lights reunion show in Nov '04. This was a band I was in for a few years. I remember when I was working on this I didn't want to get hung up on getting an exact likeness of everyone, so I drew everyone from memory. The only one I think I cheated on was Johnny V. (the guy sitting playing the guitar). I just couldn't get him right, so I looked at a couple of photo's. This one was fun to do.

The Two

Not much to say about this one. I was inspired after looking at a bunch of old photographs. I was also reading a bunch of weird old comic books at the time.

The Seventh Victim

Okay. Here's the last pic from the Skull Show. I haven't done any "real" painting in quite awhile, years actually, so the two color pieces were both painted very flat. Mostly gauche and a little acrylic. I was feeling a little intimidated, but I was also a little pressed for time. For what they are and the amount time I put into them I thought they turned out okay. I'm sure in a few months I'll wonder "what the hell was I thinking"?

I See You Everywhere

Here's the other color piece from the skull show. It's a little stiff and weird looking... like a lot of my stuff.

Skull art show - Piano Player

These are from the Skull Fuck art show last October. They are the first two in a series. I'm planning on doing three more of these. Drums, saxophone and stand up bass or maybe trombone. These were done on two hundred year old paper. Ink and white gauche.
