Monster PIpes

Here's some packaging illustration I did recently for Beau Bajjaly's Monster Pipes. Beau's always on some next level ish and this series is no exception. He's combining the designer toy culture with the glass pipe art culture - I'm pretty sure it's the coolest idea I've ever heard of. I'm glad to be a part of it. Here are some images of the first two pipes in the series and related art (art by me, text placement/design by Beau). The top two panels in each image are the front and back art, bottom left is the actual packaged toy (limited to 100 pieces each), and the bottom right is a closeup. The next edition is out soon, I'm working on the art for it right now.

120 Proof : Aftermath

So the experts agree - 120 Proof was a success. Great turnout, great art, great performances. Thanks to all who came out to show their support. I hope we can do another one soon. In the meantime, here are some photos from the event. The green piece behind the DJs and MCs is something I've recently completed; I'll have better photos up on here soon.
