May Day Race

I was asked to do this poster for the Birmingham Bicycle Coop's 3rd birthday race. Kind of a rush job, so some of those colors are awfully sloppy.

Maps & Atlases

Did this one for Bottletree. I also love this band. Go to this show, Birminghamians.

Jeff

My latest commissioned piece, a portrait of Jeff O. Byars, owner of Bullets in Dothan, AL. 11" x 14" pen and ink. Here he is all framed up.

Bamboo

I was commissioned to do this drawing for Muje Life, for a super-soft, Earth-friendly t-shirt. Hippies are now paying my bills.

Sea Legs #2

4" x 6" black ink on paper, with red card stock and digital print matte. This is one of a set of two, which have both sold. I unfortunately do not have a scan of Sea Legs #1. I'll try to find a photo of it. In the meantime, use your imagination.

The Birds Poster

This one is the largest piece I've done in, I'd say, ten years. It's a 16" x 20" pen and black ink, and it has taken me quite some time to complete. The above scan, done on a shoddy ol' Oce B&W oversize scanner, is terribly rough and grimy, so I assure you, this piece looks much, much better in person.
I feel I should also clarify the date. There actually was a showing of "The Birds" at The Alabama Theatre last year, which I attended, but I was not commissioned by them to do this. I did it for personal reasons, and it made sense to me to put the date of the showing in with the film details. You'll notice that I didn't really start work on this until after they had screened it. So there you go.


Here's an old progress shot from a couple months back.

Pentafish

This was another fast, small one: 5" x 5" red & black ink.

Crown #1

Ink on a 5" x 7" sheet of found paper.

Drunken & Sunken

8" x 10" pen

Spermaceti

This was just a quick, small one. 10" x 3.5" black and red pen.

Patti & Dave's STD

So I was asked to do the "Save the Date" postcards for my friends Patti and David's imminent wedding. I didn't have a chance to get the lines as crisp as I'd hoped, because I had to color this thing at work using a mouse instead of my computer at home, but when they're printed at 4" x 6", I doubt that'll matter much.

BCBCSB

Another poster for an event at the WMA in Dothan, AL.

Valentine's 2011

8.5" x 5.5" pen & ink, mounted to some chip-board.

WMA New Year's Eve

Commission for the WMA for their New Year's Eve party. 11" x 17" digital print. Art Direction by Holly Roberts. Branding on the bottom by Mike Riddle.

The Evil Dead Poster

8" x 10" pen and ink.
Done for Modern Gala's 2010 Halloween Art Show.
Happy Halloween, everyone.

Halloween Poster 2010

New poster for Modern Gala's annual Halloween bash. This one gave me some trouble. After about 5 weeks of working on this, I lost my original PS file because my computer is a piece of garbage, so all I had to go off of was a hard-copy print that I did as a color proof. I had to scan it in and basically start over without my layers or clarity from the original file. It was bullshit. But alas, I think it looks pretty good, despite some dust and noise still visible from the scan. I'd originally planned to print these on 11" x 17" 100lb. ivory stock, but given the current griminess of this piece, I doubt I'll be doing that. Anyway, for more info on the party, which is sure to be outstanding, visit Modern Gala

A Preview of Horrors to Come

I've got a lot going on at the moment, and most of it's going towards a horror movie- themed art show at R.J. Saxon's in Dothan, AL. They do it big on the Halloween front every year. So this is something I did for them, and it's a bit of a sample of the things I'll be posting in the near future. Got a big new Halloween poster on the way, along with 3 or 4 pen and ink jobs, and they're all gruesome, so stay tuned.

Dottie

Portrait of my friend Landin's husky, after an injury. 8" x 10" pen and ink on paper.

Jabba (Revisited)

I've finally finished this. There were some delays, needless to say. It ended up being another one for the B.S.'s. Anyway, it's just an 11" x 17". I'm not sure how many colors. Double digits.

PALUS ASTRUM

Pen & Ink, on 9" x 12" 80lb.
