- lightning in a bottle -

i made this a while ago for my work, as a part of a marketing campaign, "lightning in a bottle". i like the image and the rest of the stuff i made for it. we didnt end up doing anything with it though...

- light field -

i was searching through some images on my computer today, and i came across this guy i made about a year ago i think. there is something about it that i enjoy a lot. i kinda want to make a short film with this guy. in a field. with a storm coming. we'll see.

- ZOMBIE -

i recently acquired four amazing horror movies, including: Basket Case, Brain Damage, (1980s remake of) The Blob and Friday the 13th Part III (in 3-D, with 2 pairs of 3-D glasses)! ive havent watched them all yet, because horror movies are best when you watch them with friends. but we'll get to the rest of them soon enough. anyways, ive been really wishing that i had some classic or b-horror movie shirts. i might make a few on my own.

- grrrrrrrrrrr! -

to help express the more ferocious beats of bundlefly...

- weird bird creature BF poster -

...yep.

- wing & tusk : the secret of toadflax tea -

i wish i were better with words so that i could properly describe how i feel about the album that my friends have created. i want to use the words; epic, beautiful, grand. my hope is that the art i created for them directs people towards a better understanding of the story josh wrote being masterfully told over the course of 11 tracks. needless to say, i suggest that whenever you can, get a copy of this album.

- bf -

well, brundlefly met up a couple days ago to talk about finishing the album. how do we do it? what more do we need? when can we work on it? all that good stuff. and we figured out a good bit, and it seems rather feasible at the moment. so of course, i ended up making a poster for brundlefly. sort of a brundle-compass to see where the album is going. heh.

- more POP -

ok, so here are the rest of the inside pages for this thing...

- POP -

my work is hopefully going to be making these tv shows for the british called, POP. in order to sell it though, we have to have some snazzy design stuff to get them interested while giving them information. which is where i come in. and the show is about an artist, painting a picture, while telling the story behind the character in the piece, and acting it out and stuff. i think it'd be fun to shoot/edit these shows, cause the dudes is pretty animated and it would just be interesting. but i guess we'll see how it goes. anyways, here is what i have so far of the snazzy stuff...

- WOLF BLACKOAK REMIX -

my friends the Phantods, let me do a remix of one of their songs, "Wolf". i dig how it turned out, so if you get a chance to give it a listen, please do. also, look out for a future collaboration between gretchen and myself. i think it will be sweet.

- "bf, its whats for dinner" -

so, brundlefly is gonna get to print a shirt soon.
we have enough money to get one design.
but new ideas keep popping up....

- theres a bird on my hand -

ive been listening to our rough recordings a lot.
getting pumped for the final versions.
so many ideas...

- you sunk my battleship! -

ok, now, imagine two people sitting on a stage.
one has a red laptop and a red keyboard.
the other, a blue laptop and blue keyboard.
they are sitting at opposite ends of a table, facing one another.
and then the music starts.
it is electronic, bumpin, and danceable.
the band is called battleship!

one day, i will be one half of this band.
and it will be sweet.

- ...and even more shirts -

not sure which color scheme i like better...
im leaning towards the light gray, i think...

also.
a letter to the trees and skulls in my designs.

dear trees and skulls,

lots of nice looking designs have come from our collaborations.
and you've been working hard for me for the past little while.
so take a vacation, boys.

i'll see you in a couple of months.

- joshua's robot -

a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, josh rea drew a robot holding flowers. i dont really remember why, but i did a painting of that robot and his flowers. and while searching for something else, i came across it, so i thought i would share and perhaps escape from posting some other random shirt design. i would really like to paint/draw some more. get away from a computer for a little while. so look out for some of that stuff coming soon. anyways, here is the robot and his flowers.

- there is a brundlefly on your shirt -

...i think its just because i need some t-shirts that i have been doing all these shirt designs recently. but yea, this one is for brundlefly.

- shirt, shirt -

i felt inspired to do some t-shirt designs.
not really for anything specific though.
just trying some stuff out.

- TBTL shirt design -

i quickly sketched this idea out at a shoot i was on a few weeks ago and thought i would try it out as a shirt design. i like how it turned out so i thought id share.

- phantods "revival" -

my friends in, Phantods, are releasing an EP of four songs and they asked me to do the artwork for it. sort of a childrens book, with just a pinch of creepyness. i think it has turned out pretty sweet and im excited for people to get to see, let alone here their EP. oh, and they said that i could do a remix of one of their songs, so look out for that in the near future as well!

- there is an abbey in the oaks -

progress! 6 of the rough versions of the tracks for the album are complete. i continue to get more and more excited with every listen, and i cant wait to share this music with people. but i want it to be perfect, so it will be a little while still. in the mean time, i share my excitement for the project with posters and other inspired art. and although i cant really say that it encapsulates my full enjoyment of where these songs are headed, i made a fun little poster today during my repeated listens of the new recordings...
