PREVIEW

Hey. This is a tiny preview of a very large piece I'm working on. The piece is going to be 32 or 34 inches by 50 inches, and for this reason, I won't have too many drawings completed for the next little while. The drawing is an allegory for the way most religions worship death as a major part of their doctrine. Bruegel is proving to be a wonderful influence, and his dense, dense paintings of peasant festivals probably got me going on this one. More on this to come...

Elf Pussy

This is a poster for a pornographic film which hasn't yet been made, the first screenprint I have made in a long long time. Thanks to Tobias Williams for the help on this one. The names of the actresses are taken from the index of the Silmarillion, and a lot of the borders and organic designs are inspired by Mucha's compositions and background fills. Four colour screenprint.

WAR (part ii)

These are photos of the 7th piece of the year, one centered around war. The large block of text is from the first book of the first book of The Lord of the Rings, and it was a great starting point for a historical look at war which works in modern times as a metaphor, seeing as no one really fights wars for gold anymore. I was really planning to do eight of these, but I feel I've said everything there is to say about dismemberment, lich kings, necromancy, war and utopia. At least for a few weeks. So I'm going to be drawing some lighter things while I think about what I'm saying, and how I'm going to say it. Expect silly things, before I return with more black and white history lessons.

PUNKS IS HIPPIES

This is the sixth piece for the year 2012, before I stop and start thinking "really hard" about what I'm "trying to say" with my art. I've been thinking about small stylistic changes.

This drawing is much more direct than many I have been doing this year. There are drawings based around war and dismemberment, and there are drawings based on utopia. The latter are obviously going to reference Bosch, but also GISM and flux of pink indians. The utopia drawings are much more organic and simple, they don't have a lot of right angles and hard lines (save for the text) because they are devoid of the icons and structures humans have made. They have more plants and animals and are "organic".

Also, there is some Darkthrone in there, hence the Fenriz gag I posted previously.

ASH BORER

Hello!

It's great when things go great. Ash Borer pressed a reissue of their demo LP, and they went all out. It is letterpressed, I believe it's also foilstamped, and their is a hand screened print of a drawing I made for this release, and it's 12x24.

It's a beautiful package. Also, the music is amazing.

You can view the LP art, and you can (and should) also order one.

Many thanks to Kyle for being a hoot to work with.
