grasshopper

A sketch for a painting...It's the mustached grasshopper?  Anyway, a lot of crazy things going on lately.  Last night I met a fine gentleman named Greg Theakston on my friends porch...how random?  Turns out he moved across the street recently.  We shared a six pack and he show us all of his original art, it was nuts.  It was a good flashback of being a student and learning about the masters.  I am not really familiar with the comic book scene but I was definitely able to appreciate the insane amount of awesome that this guy has put out over the years.  The link doesn't do him justice.

Here is the poster I designed for the Murder by Death show this Tuesday at the Masquerade.  They will either be for sale at the show or on their site, along with Kilroy and Maw's Etsy very soon.  This was done in illustrator with the typeface Phaeton, which Melissa and I are in love with. (Thanks Franci;)

If you haven't heard of the band, their name sounds really metal scary but they are actually more folk than anything else.  Here is a link to one of my favorite songs of theirs.  There's a girl cello player who sounds beautiful.

This is a poster I did for Terrapin Beer's 8 year anniversary party through Kilroy and Maw, they will be sold at the event and afterwards on our Etsy.  Terrapin is a local brewery in Athen's, and they have some very tasty beer.  Melissa and I collabed on the concept for this one-basically a big cluster of little icons that represent the more limited released beers that they have come out with in the past year.  The "Hopsecutioner" is my fav.  They also have part of the poster art on their site.  Enjoy!  And if you get a beer from Terrapin any time soon, I love their Sunray.

Hello!  I haven't posted in a bit-life has been really busy/crazy/fun/sleepy.  I feel like crap today but decided I need to pull it together and make a blog post and get outside.  Yesterday it finally got warm and I am so excited!  Cold weather is lame if there is no snow.  It has no purpose other than to make you feel gloomy.   Anyway!  Here are some drawings I did in Illustrator.  I have been digging the vector magic lately, which is weird because I have also been painting.  I have a couple of exciting projects that I want to share soon too, one which involves painting.  I just need to scan them!  

Oh, and to update on my new years resolutions, I have fulfilled most of them but still need to eat healthier, write more stories, find a new put-put place, and travel.  Haha, I will try to do these but no pressure.  I think new years resolutions are lame if you just stress about them.  Technically I don't have to do any of this, haha.
