I have a design out on tour with Black Tusk who is roaming Europe with Soilent Green right now. Black Tusk is in a very rad place with new music out and stretching their legs murdering favorites from their catalog. The height of their powers with other rad stuff to come.

I’m jealous of you Europe right now. For a lot of reasons but mainly because I would have loved to see this tour package here in the states. Obviously Black Tusk and I are thick as thieves but I’ve been Soilent fan for a long time. Killer band.

For the past few months I had been sitting on some artwork releases because of several reasons. I have client work I can’t show until they are ready to release on their end. While juggling client work I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to release some prints I was working on. I wanted to make everything kinda fluid so it would benefit everyone. Client work caught up with, prints ready to ship and me working my next set of paintings, client work and other projects.

Well we ready! The store has been updated with new prints from recent paintings. New 11x16 giclee prints (8.25x12.25 artwork) of a pen, ink,watercolor and acrylic painting on 310 gsm watercolor paper. Prints will fit any off the shelf standard frame and matting. Signed and ready to ship flat.

I’ve also put the Acid Bath posters back up for sale for all of you have been asking where they went.

Thanks for any time spent with this and the continued support

I’m WAY late to posting this mainly because I was trying to find the right words. So instead of waiting for some poignant prose to fall out of the sky I figure why not just the facts.

Orange Goblin has and will always be the truest of true. The rock and the roll. A devastating live act and creative recording artists. They have been huge supporters of my career for two decades. They’ve allowed me to make mistakes and to triumph. I’m saddened to hear that they are calling it quits or scaling back or whatever they are doing but I always take the artist’s side in these situations. I’m extremely flattered they asked me to do a poster for them on the way out the door. I nice nightcap to twenty years of making stuff together. Thank you Orange Goblin for everything. All hail Orange Goblin. The truest of the true.

The silkscreened 5 color 18x24 gig poster I designed for Acid Bath’s 2025 Los Angeles show with Pig Destroyer and The Obsessed are now available in my store. Run of 25 artist proofs signed and numbered by yours truly. Thanks.

Pushing inks based on blocked out basic color studies that will evolve. Original drawing for vibes.

Scream of the butterfly. I’m extremely excited to announce that I’ve designed the poster for tonight’s Acid Bath show at the Hollywood Palladium with Pig Destroyer and The Obsessed. The 18x24 silkscreen poster printed by MK Ultra Ink will be on sale at tonight’s show. I’ll have my artist proofs for sale soon. Thanks to Richie Goodtimes and everyone who involved me with this series.

I never made a proper post for this. Here’s the poster I designed for Slipknot’s December date in Manchester UK. I had a bunch of fun making this one. Thanks to Bravado for the opportunity.

"Untitled' 2025. Pencils, pen, acrylic inks, acrylics on paper. Artwork is 8x12 on 12x16 hot press watercolor paper. Another in this series of 8x12 paintings. Two more have been started.

Zinnia Thaw was painted shortly before spring in anticipation of the upcoming warmer seasons in 2022. It was part of a Mounted Artifact Series that I made into objects. I recently found these versions that were made then to be available for traditional matting and framing.

The painting (original is pen, ink, watercolor and acrylics) was scanned and printed on 8x10 watercolor textured matte archivable 310gsm paper. Artwork is 5x7 on 8x10 paper laid into and 8x10 mat with a 4.5x6.5 window. This piece will fit into standard 8x10 frames easily. Print is signed by the artist.

Ruin in the Stand (2024)

I’ve been accused of my artwork taking an autobiographical slant without me knowing it and honestly they’re probably right. Inspired by a very large raven that visits our gardens daily and some of the vegetation I enjoy seeing on my trips to Richmond. Ruin in the Stand is a large pen and ink drawing that has been digitally colored and made available as prints.

Prints are available in two sizes and printed on 8x10 and 11x14 watercolor textured matte archivable 310 gsm paper. Artwork is 6x8 on 8x10 paper and 9x12 on 11x14 paper. All sizes are standard and make it easy for matting and standard framing.

I have a new piece out on tour with Lamb of God as they barnstorm with Mastodon across the country celebrating their landmark albums Ashes of the Wake and Leviathan. I was very early into my career as I started working with both of these bands but especially Lamb of God. From the end of Ashes through all the Sacrament run I was dragged kicking and screaming to be a professional by Lamb of God. They were extremely patient and willing to give me an opportunity to succeed. I’m extremely grateful and proud of the work we’ve done over the years. Check both bands socials and such for dates. Show up and get your face melted off.

Shun will have new t-shirts I designed at their upcoming shows. Check all of their socials for dates and details. Also, their latest record is really good. It’s been getting heavy rotation here as of late. Definitely worth your while.
