Gates

Hello again!

I just wanted to make another post today to promote a project that I recently had the privilege of being a small part of. My brother, Kevin, is in a band called Gates that just released their first EP and I can't say enough about how awesome it turned out. I got to illustrate the trees that you see on the album art pictured above (which looks awesome screen printed on the CD packaging). The EP is FREE and can be downloaded here, or you can purchase one of those hand screen printed hard copies for only $5!
The music is beautiful and the effort these guys put into creating this EP is something I can truly respect. This band is worth checking out for anyone who enjoys good music, and the hard copy is worth buying for anyone who loves hand-made, screen printed goodies as much as I do!

P.S. I also got to create a T Shirt design for Gates, so be on the look out for that!

Ink Preview


Hey!

Here is a photo I snapped really quick of a finished page from Nimbus Vol. 1! The progress on this book has taken "slow and steady wins the race" to the next level, and I am sorry for that. But it has been very tough to find time to work on it. Hope you enjoy the sneak peak of how its turning out!
I got a bit of extra time today since my class got canceled so I'm going to take this opportunity to work on the cover art for my 24 hour comic, The Messenger.

Hopefully I will be posting pictures of that soon!

Fun





I just stumbled upon this while searching my computer for a lost design file and I thought it would be fun to post here. I sketched this comic during a long car ride from Florida to Michigan with some inspirational help from my girlfriend's nephew, Jonah (who I'm pretty sure is on his way to becoming a sweet artist). I didn't realize I ever scanned this comic, but apparently I did! So here you go! I will call this masterpiece; Transformers: The Rise and Fall of Soccicon (Michael Bay adaptation coming soon)
