With a Noose Around My Neck
Recently did this graphic for The Devil Wears Prada, I'm pretty sure I like how it came out. It should be for sale at their merch table as you read this, on their current tour with As I Lay Dying. Hopefully it printed well! It has a back graphic too, but it's just a type treatment so I won't bother posting it. The front is really where it's at. The art is actually loosely based on the true story of a man named John Babbacombe Lee - an Englishman who was sentenced to hang in 1885 for the murder of his elderly employer, but because of gallows malfunctions three separate times, he survived his sentence. He eventually made his way to America, supposedly made money off his story, and died sometime in the first half of the 20th century. I just liked the story so I based the art off it. Hope you dig it.

Kevin
Just finished this little beast. I'm naming him Kevin. Standing tall at a full three inches, he's not a big guy but definitely makes up for it with that bite. Structurally, he's a repurposed plastic toy combined with an authentic found squirrel skull, finished in acrylic paint. I had a lot of fun making this, it's my first foray into sculpture since high school I think. Might have to go looking for more skulls and make this the first of a series. Who knows. I think I'll probably put him up for sale in my shop within a few days, until then I'll just keep him on the kitchen table and gross out my wife. Ha!

T-shirts on Sale!
I am putting all remaining stock of 1000styles t-shirts on sale, I need to clear out the shelves. Everything I have is now only $10 each, and there are pretty limited sizes and styles left (some sizes/styles are down to one shirt left) so if you want something, now's the time. I don't reprint. I'm also doing a grab bag - 3 brand new 1000styles t-shirts for $15 - you pick the size in mens or womens, I pick the shirts.
You need to buy Christmas presents, I need to sell t-shirts, see how this works? Click the 'SHOP' image to the right to get the goods, or just click HERE.

Four on the Gore!
Recently finished this one for Lethal Threat clothing company. Definitely enjoyed doing this - another example of the hotrod/lowbrow style I've been really into lately. Inked by hand, colored digitally. I'll probably take the inkwork and create a variant of this with watercolor eventually like I've done with some other pieces.

IRONWOOD
Just finished this mural at Ironwood Restaurant in Manlius, NY. It's 6x33 feet, all spraypaint. The piece looks better in real life, I couldn't get a very good angle or correct lighting, but you get the idea. I'm going to get more shots of it once they install the lighting, tables, galvanized steel plates on the lower section of wall, etc.

Purser Rigged and Parish Damned
Just finished this one. Watercolor and ink on cold press watercolor paper, about 18x24". Started life as a sketch for a t-shirt graphic job and wasn't picked up, and I liked it, so I continued with it on my own. I can probably arrange digital prints if anyone would like to buy one, and I might eventually take the inkwork and recolor digitally for the next 1000styles t-shirt graphic, we'll see how much spare time I have in the near future. Anyway hope you dig it.

Dawn of Time Tattoo
Wow, it's been a while. I'm working on a few new projects but I don't do this stuff fulltime so things move slowly sometimes, and I can't always release new art until the client releases it first. However, I did just finish this logo for Dawn of Time Tattoo, a new shop that just opened up on Tipp Hill here in Syracuse, by a longtime friend and art/crime/beer associate, Chris Sosa. Hope you enjoy. And I should have some more new artwork up soon...

Monster Pipe - Medical Waste Series
Just finished this packaging art for Beau Bajjaly's Monster Pipes - Medical Waste Series (#4). The line separating the clear illustration and the blurred out/grayed out area is the die line. Everything inside will become the finished product packaging, after Beau adds his finishing touches (product informational text, logos, minor finishing elements, etc.). These pipes have just been finished so I don't have actual finished product photos yet, but I'll upload some as soon as I get them.

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.

Meat Grinder
I guess I may as well post this one - it was done a while back for Gym Class Heroes but was unfortunately never used. I was hoping to be able to use it for another band at some point, but I don't want it to remain unseen until it's no longer relevant, so here it is. It is for sale, if there's any band out there that would like it (albeit with adjusted lettering, of course).
