Barlow finished…for now.

So this is the Barlow I worked on actually a while ago as a personal project. It was actually also finished a while ago, but I’m web lazy and am just now getting around to posting it. Not sure if it’s 100% there yet. (Is it ever?) But it’s pretty close. I’d love to do a print of this, but given the way my stuff sells, probably not a smart idea. Bah.

Random bored sketch…

This is actually from some months ago when I had some downtime. The spider is saving the head for dessert.

Iron Man 2

I was asked to do an Iron Man 2 poster for the exclusive screening at the Alamo Drafthouse on April 26. Naturally I jumped at the chance. The deadline was tight, but it came out pretty good I think. It’s a 24×36 6 color screenprint. The red and gold are metallic inks. Check mondo tees for availability. Not sure when they will go online, soon I would think.

Salem’s Lot peek…

Doing a piece on Barlow from the ‘79 series. Just cause. I remember sitting in front of the tube as a seven year old utterly enthralled and completely terrified. That series made quite an impact on me. Anyways, it’s far from done, but here’s a little peek.

ZOLTAR!

Just finished up a new tee for mondo tees. From the movie Big. Their will be a slightly different colorway for a white tee. So do like like Zoltar says and wish for it soon over at Mondo Tees.

Sketched this up using ball point pen and took it in to Photoshop for a quick coloring.

New tee…

Saputo — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:49:43 +0000

Just finished up a new tee for Mondo Tees based on John Carpenter’s classic 1986 movie Big Trouble in Little China. It was a piece I really dug doing, as I love that movie. For sale now at Mondo Tees.

Wilco Poster…

Just finished up a Wilco poster. I don’t know a whole lot about them, so it was a bit of a challenge to get the vibe right. I used a pretty different style than I normally do, since this was an offset piece and colors were unlimited. 18X24, printed on recycled archival matte paper with soy inks. It’s green, homie.

Down/Melvins/Weedeater poster
