Satan Likes it Hot!

Whipped up this one recently. It's been on my mind for a while and has gone through several revisions in my sketchbook. At first I imagined it as some sort of flash tattoo type of illustration but as it usually happens, I felt the need to flesh it out even more. I don't remember what inspired it but as I've been working on it, the thought of nasty customers from my past service industry jobs and current one have definitely fueled the process. I'm hoping to tighten up this mix of neon light and the way I usually work into a cohesive body of work. Possibly for a show with one of my friends. Wink. Wink.

From 95 The Met to Earnhardt

Recent t-shirt design I whipped up for the band, Earnhardt. A while back, the lead singer of the band was a regular at the coffee shop I work at and spoke to me about a t-shirt I was wearing. It had a hot pink and blue logo of the radio station, 95 The Met, which I grew up listening to. Turned out he was from a town a short drive away from where I grew up and was curious if I actually knew the station. Well, that sealed the deal, we've had some beers since then, he's helped me assemble some stuff for my apartment and I've been to some of his shows. So, when the time came for a t-shirt design, how could I say no? Him and the band had a pretty solid idea for the design and the color scheme so we messed around with some sketches and then quickly moved into the final and that was that. Thanks to Adam for asking me to do this. Long live the southern tier!

Soul Clap Anniversary

It's that time again! New one for Jonathan Toubin's Soul Clap & Dance Off. It's the 9 year anniversary party and they are puttin on a good one for you. It's all happening on May 7th from 8pm-2am at Market Hotel in Bushwick. Marv Johnson is the man gracing the poster for this very special event.

Attempting Comics

I've been doing little comics during some free time lately. Nothing crazy but having fun with it. The first one is just the endless mental anguish I've felt for years, entitled, "Taste My Pain, Bitch!" Below we have some sort of caffeinated nonsense.

Chosen!

Super pumped to share the news that my James Brown Soul Clap poster was chosen by American Illustration to appear in the AI-AP 35 archive. I've been submitting stuff for years and this is the first piece of mine that they've deemed worthy so it's cloud 9 for me, baby. A huge thanks to the judges!
