Lo-Fi Takes the Streets 2024

This year's LO-FI TAKES THE STREETS festival in the Jersey City Heights, put on by the Riverview Neighborhood Association and the Low-Fidelity bar in JC.
Below are the final poster, tee-shirt, an alternate (unused) logo, detail on the Walkmanwoman (I just gave her that name right now, so gimme a break), detail on a tribute to the late, beloved JC fixture, Matt Caputo, sketches of Walkmanwoman (she was initially going to be more sci-fi superhero, then I was asked to "punk her up" a little, then ended up striking a balance between the two), the logo art WIP, and detail on the background location in Jersey City.

Sean Kiely, Don't Stay Gone Too Long T-shirt

 I did this tee-shirt design for my very talented friend, Sean Kiely's new record (I also did the logo at the top of his website, so click that link!). Go see him live and grab a shirt! It's a win-win! 



21 Days of Bronze Age Horror Comics

 I did this logo for a three-week series on my Fortress of Stuff Instagram page (see link on right). Halloween hand lettering is the easiest hand lettering!

Barcade Monday Night Multiball Poster

    Here's a poster I did for Barcade Los Angeles' bi-weekly pinball tournament, along with the first, rejected version (there was a miscommunication... I thought they wanted it fast, turned out they wanted it hand-drawn!)... at least the logo got to be repurposed. 
    The characters on the poster are based on figures from the 1972 Williams pinball machine, SWINGER (see sales sheet below). 





Secret Country Owl Tees

     Two new tee-shirt / sticker designs for Kearny NJ's Secret Country! As of right now, these are merch table exclusives, but you can get other swell stuff from their online store here (and go see 'em! They're awesome!). 
     Also pictured are some of the initial sketches. The band liked two of them enough to have both done! Thanks, kids!

Barcade Punk-Man Tee Shirt

 It's another Barcade shirt, this time a punk rock themed tee, melding four different elements from punk icons... can you name all four (two are obvious)... You can grab one of these at any location or order it online at Barcade.com
Pictured here is the final design along with the line art and two alternate versions, one without the cross hatching and one with the tag line in the Punk-Man's mouth. Also, I opted to draw the "Barcade" logo by hand rather than try to find the fonts and roughen them to approximate the inspiration. Sometimes doing stuff the old-fashioned way is actually faster than doing it digitally (for me, anyway)!

Secret Country, To Heck with Ole Santa Claus!

 If there's anything I love more than doing art for Secret Country, it's doing another Secret Country Christmas single! This year, Kearny's finest has given us a cover of Loretta Lynn's ass-kickin' 1966 anti-carol, "To Heck with Ole Santa Claus!" Go give it a spin (if you can call streaming something online "spinning."
