Murder By Death Shirt Design

I've been waiting for a while to spill the news but I'm too impatient to wait for the right moment. After submitting my artwork to the Murder By Death/O'Death cover art contest, MBD contacted me and asked if they could use the design for a t-shirt. It's really fucking cool having your favorite band ask if they could use your artwork, so I said yes right away. I'll post a picture of what the shirt will look like when it becomes available to me. I'm assuming it'll be on a brown shirt but I'm not certain. Also, I decided on giving the piece a proper name as well, "Murky". Here's what it'll look like with just the Murder By Death logo and one without it at all.

See ya

Prints

Currently looking for a new print shop. I'm not too happy with the quality of my old prints anymore, or their paper selection. I need to find one soon too if I want to start having more shows in the summer. Any recommendations for a good print shop in NJ or NYC?

Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs

So I'm flipping through the channels; about to go to sleep and I see that Encore is playing Bruce Willis movies back to back all night. I'm in fucking action movie heaven. Goodnight.

Presidential Orders

I finally got to finish the JFK picture I've been working on for weeks. I assumed it would have taken me waaaaaay longer to finish but to my surprised it was done relatively quick. At least compared to anything else I've worked on.

Presidential Orders

The original ink drawing, which I posted last week I believe, was design as a tattoo for my friend Fredo. There was no way I was going to let that just stay an ink drawing so I began to color it and gave it the treatment it deserved. I'm expecting a lot of negative feedback (content wise) but I honestly don't give a fuck. I'm looking forward to it. But to those who do enjoy it, thanks for the wonderful comments and keep sending me feedback. I love it. Night!

A little sketch


Here's a little practice sketch I was working on to get my juices flowing for the JFK picture. There's even a ghost from the murder by death piece somewhere in there. I need to shake off this cold fast :(


As you can see, I'm a little proud of myself as to how Superman came out. Maybe I'll do a full piece. Who knows?

JFK sketches


These are the sketches for a tattoo I did for my friend Fredo, which will ultimately become my next finished piece of artwork. The idea behind it comes from the song "Bullet" by The Misfits. I decided to show the process of how some of my work is created instead of just posting up the final product. I'll be doing this for a number of pieces (sadly not all of them) and will be posting up random sketches as well.

Art+Books

Working on a interesting tattoo design for my friend Fredo. It's his birthday today so Happy Birthday dude. Once I'm down inking it, I'm going to give it the full treatment and try some new stuff on it. Very Exciting.

I picked up Button, Button: Uncanny Stories and 7 Steps To Midnight today. Should be two very fun reads. I'm a big Richard Matheson fan and will probably post a mini-review of the books. I'm sure no one will fucking read it but hey, it's better than doing nothing all day right?
