I suck at Hopscotch!

2009-12-31T17:28:00.000-05:00

A little idea I came up with today at work. Q Bert failing at hopscotch and "cursing" his brains out. I think I might make a painting of this one...

Stephie Stitches! Site / Company Logo...

2009-12-29T17:30:00.000-05:00

I designed these logos for a friend who is making a website for her business in which she makes all sorts of hand made crafts, quilts, wear-your-babies, etc... Not sure if they are going to go with these designs or not since they are still working on the site but I thought I would post em' up here!

Funny sXe shirt logo idea

2009-12-15T15:37:00.001-05:00

I just made this in paint since I was bored and thought it was funny. If you don't know what sXe (Straight Edge) is then forget you saw this since it wont make any sense / be humorus to you.

Reddit Alien in Plastic Canvas

2009-12-07T15:48:00.000-05:00

This is a plastic canvas project I made for my Secret Santa over at www.Reddit.com. It is the websites mascot made into a Christmas ornament as well as their envelope made into one with A top opening that actually works.

I have been working on a bunch of other stuff but as I said, it's all Christmas gift stuff so it won't be posted until after Christmas or until the gift is given. Whichever comes first.

Mark Lind - Banner Ad

2009-11-20T09:52:00.005-05:00

This is a Banner Ad I made for Mark Lind's new album Homeward Bound. Just a simple 3 frame animated gif that gets the info across.

If you have a banner ad blocker this won't show up for you so this is what the first frame looks like...

Crimson Bile - CB2 Album Artwork

2009-11-19T15:22:00.000-05:00

Here is the first draft of the new "CB2" cover (Crimson Bile album sequel). Waiting to hear if they want any changes done to it but their first response sounded like they were diggin it (at least CraKd was, waiting to hear from the other member). I still have to do the inner panel, tray card, and on disc art and I will post it up once I get it going.

This is the cover for the 1st Crimson Bile album... A VERY gruesome feel to it and the new cover isn't so "IN YOUR FACE" gore but there is a reason the other cover looks they way it does but I don't know if they would want me sharing the basis for the album art. I made this one a few years ago and they asked me on to do the sequel.

A new project about any new projects?

2009-11-19T13:52:00.000-05:00

Yeah, here is the first post on my new project that I made so I could post up about any new projects... Does that make sense? ANYWAY... as far as what I have going on... I am just wrapping up the new website for Mark Lind & The Unloved which the site is looking REALLY good, should be up shortly and when it is it will be up at http://www.Mark-Lind.com/. I was excited when Mark hit me up to do this as I am a huge fan of his work.

Here is an early sample of the main site selection bar, there have been a few changes to it since I sent this sample to Mark but the asthetics are still the same, just some of the selections are different.

I also have a few paintings in the works but I can not post those up because they may be "Christmas Related"...

Finally, I am working on the artwork for the sequel to "Crimson Bile", the horror based rap album that was the precursor to the rap / rock group of the same name. This is the sequel to the horror rap album so it will be in the same vein and the group title and album title is "CB2" to not add anymore confusion to if it is the horror rap group or the rap /rock incarnation (yeah, it probably only makes sense if you know what I am talking about already). Check out the rap / rock incarnation at http://www.crimsonbile.com/ and see what you think! I know I am a fan and I am happy CraKd asked me to do the art for the sequel since I made the original. I will post up the new artwork as I am working on it and I will probably post up the art for the original as well just to show the differences / similarities.
