Sikpipes

Did this mural a little while back, been lazy on updating my site. Here it is, about 7x40 feet, all spraypaint, took me two days of painting to do it but it worked out well I think. Done for Sikpipes at their shop in Tioga, PA. Had a blast doing this, definitely down to do some more projects like this if anyone needs it! The room I painted this in wasn't large enough to get a straight-on shot of the whole wall, so I had to settle for a composite of many shots. I've included the composite below as well as a couple closeups.

High on Fire "what if"

Did this as another "what-if" project, something I might do for High on Fire if they ever contracted me to do some t-shirt art for them. Fun little piece... And here's the mockup:

Sometimes the Joker should win...

Just a sketch. Might turn this into a painting at some point, I think it could work out nice fully done...

SLAP SMACK

Having fun doing some quickie postal stickers recently....

Some Sketches and 'What-if's'

I've been having fun doing some sketchwork recently, thought I'd post a few up. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram (@1000styles) you've already seen these but I wanted to have them here too.
I also did a couple "what-if" sketches, these aren't actual contracted projects from the Black Dahlia Murder or Job For A Cowboy, just took a few minutes with a couple sketches to see what they'd look like as t-shirt graphics for these bands. I liked how they turned out so here they are.

Another Sweet Skate Deck Illustration Job for Demon Seed

This time I got to do an Animal Farm-esque doll head boneyard of sorts, had lots of fun with this one. The creepier the better...big up to Demon Seed for letting me go wild on stuff like this.

Silence is Golden

Lettering commission!

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.

Until Hearing Dies

Just finished this. Ink and watercolor on paper, 22x28". Hope you dig it. Might put the inkwork on t-shirts, still thinking about it.

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.
