rain barrel & the streets.

these past few months, i've been dabbling in some other things. here are a few of the jazz musicians that i chose to draw for the rain barrels on parade project that pittsburgh's storm works and nine mile watershed association set up through funding by american eagle outfitters. i scanned my drawings and printed them out on acetate in which i then painted on the backs of them with acrylics using mostly sponges to have a textural look. there's some gold leaf in there as well. here are the print outs prior to painting.

here is somewhat the final product of the rain barrel. it is currently on display at the us steel building lobby in downtown pittsburgh. it will be up for auction sometime in september.

around dahntawn.

on another side note, i played some tunes with a few friends the other week. girl can sing.

here we go magic...

here's a poster i printed right before last night's show, which was quite enjoyable; especially due to the sleep deprivation and sense of delirium that i felt. here are a few images of the experience. not my harley or my press.

geno.

sort of last minute thing thrown together. had an idea along these lines for a while now, but only decided today to try it. thanks to ben, who will never see this for staying after work to print these for me. only ran off about eight of shirts. this is evgani malkin, by the way. he's one of them superstar athletes that happens to play on my pittsburgh penguins hockey team, and good thing. the likeness could probably be pushed more, but aye.

albums

 this here is an album cover that i recently finished for josh verbantis' side project/faux band, the borough fields.

and this is the interior album art to pittsburgh based rapper, palermo stone's new album 'for my culture'.

i have yet to set up shop, so contact me if you're interested in any of these and i will be sure to let you know if i have any available. otherwise, i'll jot down your name and keep you in mind if i do another round. i'm thinking ten dollar bills plus shipping. cheerio.

velociprint poster show -tucson arizona 11/12 & 11/14

this here is a print i did for a bike/art/poster exhibition out in tucson, arizona. found this show after my bad luck attempt at getting into the artcrank las vegas show. this literally came down to the last minute, but i think i'm rather happy with it, especially considering that. limited run of 30 and 9 AP's on 9.5" x 12.5" speckle toned stock (french's).

leave em outside your door, i'm your trash man.

my drawings are turning into rubbish. this was suppose to be used for the upcoming cover of bicycle times, but apparently it failed to meet expectations. whoops.
