Birds in a Row on Wooden Panels for Bangor’s The Rock and Art Shop

Recently I was asked to take part in a large group art show at the Rock and Art Shop in Bangor, Maine. This is a shop that I sell prints, T’s and patches at and have visited on occasion and is a really amazing place! The idea behind the show is about 30 artists all get 3, 5-5in wood panels to make art on. I decided to keep with a theme I was already working on for the new Blood Warrior album and have these relate. Two of the birds are part of the record packaging and one is an extension of it. The panels do not say Blood Warrior of have any text. I’m really happy with how these came out and they were really fun to work on. The panels are up at the shop now along with many other great artists. Each panel is $50 and only available through the Gallery. I believe there is an Opening/Closing Party for the show on December 5th. Or atleast that is when it is up until. If you are around Bangor please stop by and see my pieces!

Here’s two shots from the gallery below!

CASPIAN – Asia and Australia 2014 Tour Tshirt

My good friends in the band CASPIAN are currently on a tour of Asia and Australia. As I understand this is the first time they are going to a lot of these places. They were kind enough to ask me to design a Tshirt for the tour including dates on the back and all! I actually submitted 6 or 7 designs to them but this is the one that we went with! I really enjoyed some of the other designs so they might see the light of day at some point in the near future but probably not as a band tshirt.

I do not have any of these shirts. they are only available through the band on tour and possibly after.

Dates on the back of the shirt.

I found this picture on Instagram of a fan who bought the shirt. My first view of an actual printed shirt since they were printed halfway around the world. Sorry for stealing your photo for my blog.

Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra Poster and Process

I’ve had the pleasure of designing this poster for Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra when they play at SPACE Gallery on August 2nd in Portland, ME. which is also the exact date of SPACE Gallery’s 10 year anniversary. The poster is a 2 color screen print. Edition of 100. Half of the edition is printed on thin chipboard and half on brown kraft paper.

This poster will first be for sale the night of the show, view all show info here. Then a day or two later I will throw up the remaining copies online.

Below you can find a few pictures of the drawing process, the printing process as well as some detail shots.

This poster is basically one whole drawing that was created from a collage and drawing I made and then re-drawn to make one piece. That drawing was then scanned in to make the black layer of the poster.

For the white layer I layed down some drafting vellum over the black layer and drew in some highlighted white areas.

Oiling down the transparencies.

First layer of white on kraft paper.

2nd layer of black.

Anddd some detail shots after the jump!
