french fold sketchbook- a start to what I have

Still been thinking about what I want to do for an art show. I still really want to focus on the mysteries and wilderness of the pacific northwest. So, I have been doing some sketches for that. I got 2 large canvasses w/frames at the thrift store that I plan on gessoing over for my own work. SCORE. They cost me $22 total.

this JPG is going to look super weird on this blog. PLEASE click on it to zoom in and get a better look. The actual file is 49 inches long, but I shrunk it down to fit monitor size.

there is a handsome man I draw at the end of my sketchbook. I am pretty proud of myself.

here is from a different sketchbook.

Let me tell you about artist, Johnny Crap

Howdy! I was over at the gigposters.com forums checking out the new artwork forum members were posting and pretty much had my mind blown by a painting by Johnny Crap. Johnny has really really f*cking good painting skills (and drawing) that make me so jealous. He has it mastered and it works so well for his paintings.

Normally, I don't like skulls. But this little character is so well rendered and adorable/badass that I can't help but love his little candy face.

This was the painting I saw. Holy. Shit. I want it!!! You can check out more of his work at his blog.

shirt design

ASD is going to have a bear shirt so that they are big sellers. Here is what I have been playing with. Haven't gotten it approved yet and I haven't decided on colors.

Musical Saw

I decided while watching the Portland band, Musee Mechanique play a few weeks ago, I wanted to play the musical saw. I don't know anyone that plays it in Boise AND I don't have to memorize chords and hand positions, etc. I use my ear to determine what will sound amazing with what is being played and what is coming from the saw.

it doesn't cost all that much either....

A big update of stuff.

Been busy trying to get photoshop onto my computer. I eventually broke down and just put on photoshop cs. I forgot how dated it looked.

I've been pretty busy with another project for the Gorgeous Hussies. 2 down, 2 more to go. I've also been working on album art for Indicater Records, a tour poster, a band bio/package being sent out to record stores and labels and whatnots, and a shirt design!


this is the tour poster wip.
