Pelican Tour Rough

Here's a sketch for the Pelican tour poster I'm working on right now.

Os Mutantes Poster

Black Keys Tour Poster

18 x 24, 4 colors.

Black Keys June Tour Line art

Well, its been a while since I posted here on the blog, a situation which will be rectified beginning now... Very busy with tour poster designs and printing for the Black Keys, Low, and Pelican- as well as new art prints which will be obnoxious for the number of colors in them (How's 24 sound?)

Here is the newest poster I'm printing this week- A tour poster for the always excellent Black Keys. This is the original scratchboard and Ink drawing on clayboard, 18 x 24 inches. Wooden/feathered seamonsters with marching drums ALWAYS fit in for a summer tour. Right? Right?

CD Cover for Mirai-Tou!

We're Rollin', They're Hatin- Hex Remover Totems

Here's a pic I snagged from Melissa and James Buchanan's (Little Friends of Printmaking) flickr set of the show that opened friday. These are 2 drawings, mixed media on a field of Hex Removers...

Melvins Poster for Brussels show

Here's a 4 color poster (2 split fountains, one in metallic silver/gold) for the Melvins appearance tomorrow night at the Domino Festival in Brussels, Belgium. Thanks as always to Tim Moss and the Melvins for asking me to make the poster.

There is no American Buffalo

New Drawing from the cyt-o show with Jeff Tady.

Scavenger

This is a recent drawing ( I used the image in my recent poster for Low's show at Metro Chicago) called "Scavenger" from my "New World" series. The piece is 22 x 30 inches on heavy watercolor paper. I really have enjoyed working directly on paper rather than wood- total immediacy. I used ink, latex, acrylic, pencils and a tiny bit of spray paint on this. I'm looking forward to the rest of the works in this series this year.
The displaced wolf in the piece is filled with houses, boots, post-apocalyptic mud cities, and car wheels...

Conquistador

New 5 color screenprint 22x 30 inches on stonhenge paper. This turned out fantastic. It was a pleasure to print this!

Show at Cyto gallery

Tonight I am having a 2 person show with my dear friend and comrade Jeff Tady at cytogallery in Chicago's Pilsen nieghborhood.

Jeff is showing his amazing paintings from his "Everything and Nothing" series. They are some of the most meticulous incredible work I have seen in a long time. The fact that he is an old friend is the icing on the cake.

I'll be showing recent screenprints and a few new drawings from my New World series.

Hex Remover print

Here's the spring colorway version. 4 colors on steel blue paper. This turned out great, looks like colorforms!

Hex Removers: Scratchboard/Pen and Ink

art print sneak peek

One of the new art prints I'm working on....Here's a peek at the scratchboard drawing in progress.

Sketch for Low Poster

Low Metro show

Here's a recently printed poster for the Metro promoting an upcoming show on Low's "Drums and Guns" tour. I was inspired by the subtle brutality of this new record quite a bit, it ties into some themes I've been sketching for the last few months. The wolf head is filled with drawings of houses, boots, silhoutted mud-like cities and carwheels. I'm working on new art prints and drawings mixing Native northamerican animal imagery with contemporary detritus, so this seemed like a good fit for Low.

Vandermark/Kayarogis "Foreground Music"

Artwork for cover of CD I drew the covers for an upcoming release on Okkadisk records featuring Ken Vandermark and Pandelis Karayorgis. Its a fantastic record, I was honored to be able to make the artwork for this release.

The Thing Tour Poster

Here's a screenprinted poster I made for my friends Mats Gustafsson, Paal Nilssen-Love and Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, who play together as the insane free jazz ensemble , The Thing. They are on tour in the US in April.
