MANAINT

taint + manatees tour... or sporadic dates at least. i wanted to do all howevermany dates there are but alas, time....... still, there you go.

damned extroverts

first year of illustration at falmouth is officially over... bar one tiny little bit of work to catch up on, mind, but otherwise, i'm done.

inspirations in barren plains: seminar II

a big flyer project is currently underway, hopefully to further my portfolio of gig posters so that eventually i'll have a nice varied body of work to actually promote to bands instead of just sending out random emails to bands that happen to be touring soon. more on this soon, until then... differing directions of influence regarding the direction of this activity. all images property of their respective owner/these are not my own.

joyous EP artwork

after many headaches, skull scratchings and early morning confusion regarding mirrored images, horizontal and vertical openings, the artwork for the joyous EP is finally done. my first *proper* CD design, lucky enough for it to be a fancy cardboard gatefold type and with a free reign to do whatever i wanted, though it was decided to contrast heavily on the inside and outside, but mostly what i wanted. this is going to be printed and assembled by the band themselves.

in the pipe: tour flyers for MANATEES, logo for HAMMERS, logo for italian band LIFELESS, applied illustration final images, assorted side projects... busy busy busy, yet so tired, sleepy and lazy.

offshores 1 thru 3

applied illustration.

inspirations in barren plains: seminar I

i don't know how many people read, care or indulge in this blog, but from time to time i thought i'm going to start blogging (what a terrible, terrible word) about stuff aside from my own work - influence, recommendations, inspiration, new finds, etc... mostly record covers, probably, but other stuff too.

the project i am working on right now involves the graphic construction of a cd release, and here's what's frequenting my desk as a bit of influence at the moment...

top to bottom: agoraphobic nosebleed - pcp tornado/pcp torpedo re-issue, botch dvd, helms alee release.

crash tactics

probably the most ''final'' illustration i've done since i've been home, and the deer isn't even mine. more work to commence next week when i get back to my scanner and computer...

this week: hangovers, flu, loss of debit card by hungry ATM, cycling, black sheep wall ''i am god songs'', 65daysofstatic ''stumble.stop.repeat'' EP, admiral angry ''buster'' (crushingly heavy, woefully bitter), mass effect 2, the good weather.
