Primus Variants Update

For those of you waiting for Primus variant prints who missed my Facebook and Instagram posts from earlier today, you'll be pleased to know that I will shipping out all completed prints tomorrow morning (Thursday July 17 2014). Finally! I know it's been a while since you've placed your order and I apologize, but these prints had quite a bit more work involved than the average print, so I hope you'll be happy when you receive them and feel it was worth the wait. They were done in 3 stages - spraypaint first, then the black ink hand-screened by Galaxy Graphics (thanks again Evan), then I went back in and did some watercolor painting to fill in certain areas with more color. The image below shows them at stage 2 - right after the screen but before the watercolor. I think they're coming out really fresh...super grimy, heavy and hard hitting. I'll post an image soon of all 25 variants together so you can get an idea of their uniqueness - each is one of a kind.

PRIMUS PRINTS ARE COMING

Just an update for everyone who ordered a Primus print a couple weeks back.

If you ordered a STANDARD edition only, your print HAS SHIPPED and you should receive it soon. I don't know exactly when you'll receive it, but they were all shipped USPS Priority Mail, so it shouldn't take longer than another week or so, even if you're outside of the US. Most should already have been delivered actually. There is tracking on all of them, so if you haven't received it in a week (June 17), email me and I'll give you the tracking number.

If you ordered a VARIANT or a variant AND a standard edition, your order has NOT shipped yet, because the variants are still in production. I'm estimating another week or so before those can ship. I'll post here again when those orders ship so anyone interested will know they can start checking their mailbox.

Thanks again for all the orders!

PRIMUS POSTER SERIES!!

Super stoked to finally be able to release this art! Feels like I've been waiting forever when it's really only been 3 weeks or so since I started the project. Very excited to be a part of the Primus Poster Series for 2014 alongside some very great artists! Every year Primus has a bunch of artists each do a gig poster for a live show they'll be playing as part of that year's concert tour. My poster advertises for the show tonight (May 21) in Portsmouth, Va.

This was a lot of fun, I had a lot of creative freedom, it was great! Would definitely love to do more stuff in this vein in the future. Thanks to Zoltron for bringing me in on the project, and thanks to Galaxy Graphics in Rochester for handling the printing. They did a great job - it's 6 colors on 18x24" Mohawk Via light gray 80# cover stock.

I have just 50 of these signed and numbered posters available in my webstore, as of tomorrow morning, May 22, 2014, 8:00am EST. If you want one, I suggest you jump on it, Primus posters are known to sell out quick!

PRIMUS!

I'm super excited to be part of the 2014 edition of the Primus Poster Series!! Besides being a big fan of Primus, there are some seriously talented artists in this year's lineup. Each artist does one poster that advertises one show on the band's current tour. I recently finished my poster art and it has been printed - a limited 6-color screenprint done masterfully by the skilled hands at Galaxy Graphics in Rochester, NY. I can't release the art or any details about the show it advertises for until the band does, but I can at least put up this photo of me signing the prints earlier today (almost like a real artist or something!). I will have a few copies of the poster for sale in my webstore after the show - I will add it to the store and announce it here once I do, keep your eyes peeled to my site if you're interested! Had a lot of fun doing this, thanks to Zoltron for bringing me in on this!

Here are a few more, been doing a lot of these lately. More than 50 now, in fact. This is just a sample.

I have a new product in my webstore - a booklet/zine of many of my recent postal stickers, printed in full color, 24 pages. It comes with 2 original one of a kind hand-drawn postal stickers, plus an assortment of digitally printed stickers of my other art. $10 shipped anywhere in the USA (a little more for international shipping to cover the extra shipping costs). Pretty good deal. Click HERE to go to this product in my webstore.

Pretty Don't Win Races - the variant

Finally got this painted. 18x24", ink, watercolor, and a little acrylic. I like how it came out. Time to frame it and stack it with the rest I guess. Hope you enjoy.

Pretty Don't Win Races

Very proud of this one - hand drawn linework, digital color. I'll be painting over the linework in watercolor on the original piece (about 18x24") to create an alternate version as well. Hoping to be able to use this art in some sort of product - maybe a print, maybe a t-shirt, not sure yet. Gonna shop it around a bit and see if anyone is willing to pick it up. Hope you dig it.

Valentine's Day

Did this card for my wife for Valentine's Day...I like how the lettering came out so I'm posting it up...

Slap Happy

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!

Dead Rabbits

Just did this little sketch for Son One's leg sleeve - Rise Above!

MOTORHEAD

I mean come on, what else was I gonna call it. 18x24", ink and watercolor.
