03.30.2010 / EPITAPH SAMPLER ADDED
I added the "Epitaph Mosh Pop Sampler 2010" design I did to the project links on the right. This was a free sampler Epitaph Records gave out this past weekend at the Bamboozle Music Fest. If you were there you probably saw this backdrop at the Epitaph Tent that I designed :

More new work will be added to the project links over the next couple of days.

03.19.2010 / NEW MIXED MEDIA
I'm currently working on a new series of mixed media pieces. Below is a picture of one of the finished pieces.

10.30.2009 / THE BLOOD BROTHERS REISSUES / KINGS ROAD
I had the honor of revising the layouts to the recently reissued and expanded Blood Brothers catalog on Epitaph Records. Go to EpitaphStore.com (which I also designed) to pick these releases up. 3 of the 4 releases come with bonus discs with extra music, remixes, enhanced video content, and DVD's. Well worth getting REAL copies of these instead of downloading!

10.30.2009 / HALLOWEEN MIXTAPE
It's that time of year again so I thought I would celebrate by creating a mixtape to go with the season. METRO/SEA helloween mixtape 2009 features some of my favorite black metal classics along with some other surprises. Go to http://www.metrosea.com/gifts/helloween2009. Enjoy!

10.07.2009 / PLASTIC KID
Thanks are in order to my friend Jacob for mentioning the new metro/sea site on his blog. I've known Jacob for awhile now and his artwork over the years never ceases to amaze me. Be sure to check out his video work as well as his band The Fashion.
