Fake Album Art

So I had a couple mp3's that had no album artwork, so I took it upon myself to see what I could whip up in an extremely short time. Here's the first couple I did, just for fun (in order):

Otic Angst - Need That Love
Dark Party - Status

Things that I like. (3)

the Depreciation Guild are a great band I've been listening to lately, and Rafael Grampá is an incredible artist who has somehow managed to slip past my radar until recently. I can't wait for his new books to drop...in the meantime, I will be posting some new art in the next few days, so check back soon!

Have Heart...

new paintings almost finished...!

Switchin it up

I apologize for the lack of updates! Things have been pretty busy, but I should have some exciting stuff to post up soon! I'm also in the process of re-over-hauling my website, which upon completion will be the place to see any and all of my new work.

In the meantime, I'd like to share some things that inspire me! First of all, check out the work of Francoise Nielly. My good friend Bennett Slater turned me onto her work, and it has been blowing my mind since. As far as music is concerned, I still can't get enough of Phoenix's newest album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, or Shad K's entire catalog. That guy is my hero. Do yourselves a favour, go look and listen!

Stop-motion Graffiti Fill

Little clip of stop-motion on a fill I was doing on a piece for a little Sheridan College Graffiti jam I did back in the spring.
