The Stranger is back

This is a killer poster from Clint Eastwood's "High Plains Drifter" that I did a lot of tweaking to for this 11x17 poster while still giving a good tribute to the film.  The original, unedited, image that I used for this poster is below:

The end of an era

This was my first shot at drawing something by hand, scanning it into Photoshop, then coloring and additional elements to the drawing in Photoshop.  It honestly turned out exactly the way I wanted it to.

This was another drawing I did for this show.  We had 3 different 11x17 posters for sale in a set at the show.  They were limited to 150 sets.  The girl was drawn by hand, scanned into Photoshop, and the rest was done in Photoshop.  The Holden Caulfield logo at the top was created by Mark Bogacki.  

I wish I could go back and do the arm on this poster different.  The grass and arm were both from photographs and the zombies in the background were hand drawn then scanned into Photoshop.  I created this Holden Caulfield logo - it will be featured in a different blog post later.

This is the original drawing for the first poster.

Our own worst enemy

If I could do this flyer again, I think I would've made it an 11x17 format so the text wouldn't overlap the drawing.  I was never happy with the layout of this one, but I was always really happy with the drawing that I did for it.

Sometimes legends do die

This may be my favorite piece that I've ever done.


This was for the final show at a beloved, all ages venue.  Everyone was sad to see it go so I decided to mark the occasion with a tomb stone design.  It took a lot of work to take it from the image below to the image above.  All of the tweaks and changes were done in Photoshop.

On a side note, this show was insanely fun, literally.  Everyone there was a lot of fun and the bands were killer.  The reason for the show was sad, but the show itself was incredible.

This is the original image.

Robots will kill us all

This is how we're all going to die.  All work done in Photoshop in around 10 minutes.

Someone set us up the bomb

I love nose art from airplanes.  That's the correlation between the 2 images.  Also, who doesn't love gigantic planes and pinups? 

Keep it simple

This was a really quick job. I tend to lean to a minimalistic style, which kind of shows here. This flier has an image from a comic called "Wrench Pilot" that used to appear in Transworld Skateboard magazine.  I always loved both the comic and the mag.

Truth be told, I'd approach this one slightly differently now.

You can't kill a dead man

This is a mock, just like the text in the image says, of Shephard Fairey's work on the Brother's Keeper "Fantasy Killer" album cover.  I took a photo of my friend Bobby, converted it to black and white, then started breaking down the shading in Photoshop to get the colors set up as close to the original as I could.  Fortunately, I had gotten the fonts from Shephard himself shortly after this album came out.  Don't take that as me saying that I know him, because I don't.  He's just a nice guy.
