a couple updates

 








Got to see a some of my illustrations in a couple cool places lately.

The Genesis the Greykid video has been getting some nice exposure in the blogosphere, but seeing it on 2dopeboyz was a bit of a personal achievement for me, as it's a blog that I have been checking out almost every morning for the past couple of years.

Besides that I was also flipping through Vice Magazine this week, and saw my Sled Island illo in there. Was a nice surprise to see it in a mag I read on the regular.

april fools

This is an illustration running in Beatroute, which was April Fools themed. Posting this a bit late as April is almost gone, but read the article here, you should also be able to find this issue this week I think.

Your song of the day is For A Fool from The Shins new release "Port Of Morrow", which I think is pretty awesome.

you can go home again

Here's an illustration I did for FFWD this week. It accompanies an interesting article about 20 somethings moving back in with their parents which you can read here, or better yet, grab a FFWD off your local newsstand and read it in the Life and Style section.

Your post related song of the day is "The Old Prince Still Lives At Home" by Shad

weird....toys

Here's the April illustration for BeatRoute's monthly sex column "Keepin' It Sleazy" with your regional sexpert EZ-Breezy. Weird Sex Toys was the subject for the month of April, so I figured I would create my own weird sex toy for the illo. It's a tentacle with a multitude of smiling happy faced suction cups, with tongues at the ready. Do you think I need any more info before I make a Kickstarter page for it? (kidding) Check out the article here and learn about a few bizarre items you had no idea existed, or you can always pick up an issue off newsstands.

Your song of the day is La Roux with "Not Your Toy":

gale wind

This is one of the pieces of mine that showed on Friday at the Superstition show. It's based on a childhood memory of mine, which involves a fetus and a chicken in the graveyard, if you are ever curious about it you can come ask me in person. :)

shakeout

I created this illustration and ad layout for ShakeOut, a small music fest that gets you geared up for Sled Island (which I also had the pleasure to illustrate for). It's currently running in BeatRoute magazine.

You get to listen to some great live music at all my favorite watering holes; Ship and Anchor, Broken City, Palomino, Tubby Dog, Vicious Circle, and Drum and Monkey. The Wet Secrets, The Get Down, and Dojo Workhorse headline so come drink some beer and enjoy some great tunes this May long.

Listen to Dojo Workhorse below.

under the covers with david homer

"Vodka & Ayahuasca"

For this month's Under the Covers column I talked to David Homer, co-founder of Debaser Studios in Australia. We talk about the Gangrene cover he illustrated, why they chose the name "Debaser", and what he does when one of their co-workers starts listening to Beyonce.

Read the full interview on the Freq website here.

Your song of the day is Gangrene's "Vodka & Ayahuasca" title track, check out the hectic video below.
