Some old design studies of mine from 2008 … f r e s h h h h h h h !

Can we just all agree that dubstep is derived from Ed Rush and Optical 45rpm singles being played at 33.3rpm?

I prefer something I can bob my head to over something that makes me walk like a snail but hey, either way, sometimes you just need the gritty, grimy sounds of robots propelling this spaceship we call earth into the future.

This is how the inside of my brain feels sometimes. Ok … most of the time.

Sometimes I make art. You should buy it.

Had to test this idea out on this cover from a few weeks back…

“Tim O’Brien must not be human.”

First line of my grad school paper about his presentation. Seriously, somebody take that guy to a doctor and find out for real.

Love this portrait of Little Richard - just gotta figure out how to con him into coughing up an original for the walls of my home…

It’s getting windy and rainy outside … time to get deep. Classy cut for your footwork workout.

If you drop the bass, please remember to pick it back up…

My cover illustration for this week’s feature story about Bassnectar.

Some more details before shipping this off to press…

Digging in for a late night … another illo in the works.

This one is driving me crazy.

“The bass has arrived.” Some inspiration for my latest illustration topic.

Here is the finished illo that was critiqued in my MFA program yesterday: Miles Davis in the style of Saul Bass. I had a difficult time balancing the simplistic/conceptual approach with finding a recognizable likeness of Miles.

It could use some reworking of the background but overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Plus, I came up with a bunch of new processes when doing this that I plan to try out on future illustrations.

Now on to the rest of my week here in NYC for school!

Sneak peek: detail of my MFA illustration assignment…

Time for some Friday morning jams. Classic Herbie Hancock slow burner here. Special extended instrumental intro mix.
