i was gone for a bit but now i'm back

Hey, I'm back home from a long tour with The Arteries. I got a few things done before we left in October but didn't get a chance to upload them...

Here are 2 of those things;

A shirt design for my best Buds in Static Radio NJ, it's a picture of my best bud Pugs looking like Glenn D. Complete with a last can of a 6 pack, Big Mike tattoo and dripping crucifix. A Bud cocktail. There has been talk of turning this into an Arteries shirt design too, so that ol' Pugzig gets an even wider spread. Imagine that!
I also designed a 7" layout for French punk rock trio, Pink Flamingos. Here is the sleeve art;


I got the chance to pick up a copy when we were in Le Havre, it turned out looking pretty cool.


I have a HUGE to do list to crack on with. I'm super excited about a lot of if. Some how I've got the chance to work with one of my favourite bands. Holy Smokes! Watch this space...

Thanks for looking!

Some Kinda Hate

I've been working on a whole bunch of stuff recently and still have a way to go with most of it. I kinda feel as if my head is going to explode. Whatever, your head is way overrated right?
Even though i've been busy slaving away, i don't actually have that much to show for it right now... 
Having said that, here are a couple of pieces that are done and dusted;
A 7" sleeve for a split record by SSSSNAKES and THE SLOW DEATH.

A pocket tee design for THE ARTERIES
A Euro/UK tour poster for MIKEY ERG! ARTERIES and THE SLOW DEATH. This will be screen printed and available at the shows and in the SWFU! Shop if any are left over afterwards. 

NO GUTS NO GLORY have got a limited run of the shirts that i designed for them. Why not pick one up and look as cool this Autumn?

Thanks

\m/etal tarsal

I broke my foot and was in a cast so I stayed home and tried to get lots of productive stuff done. Between many mind numbing hours of really shitty TV and being babysat by friends, I got through a good chunk of my to do list. 

Here are some bits that I've been working on recently;
A t shirt design for the wonderful LEMURIA from Buffalo, NY



My friend Chris from THE FLATLINERS and I joint forces and worked together on a tour poster for a Canadian and US tour that we are doing together in October. Check out CHRIS' BLOG!



NIGHT BIRDS are coming over for a UK and European tour next month and SSSSNAKES are playing a show with them in Swansea's number one (official) kick ass bar, Mozart's, It's going to be one hell of a show so come out and have fun! By the way, incase you are wondering, Swansea's premier unofficial bar is this infamous shack.
Most recently, I put this shirt design together for my buddy Nath who runs a very ethical and kick ass shop/brand/company down in Devon called NO GUTS NO GLORY

That's all for now, thanks for looking.

still down with manifestations

Eye witness descriptions of Moth Man have many variables. Moth Man is well known for his ability to manifest. Having said that, two characteristics regarding ol' Moth Man's appearance remain consistent across the board of each witnesses account. Firstly; his red hypnotic eyes, and secondly his taupe dick. 
That's right, the old dog is a father to no one.

Moth Man gets a lot of bad press. My fellow ARTERIES and I fight a constant battle, doing everything we can to bring this cryptid love machine's good name to justice.
'Still Tight With Moth Man' shirts coming to a punk show near you this October...

schocohlah shoo

My good friend Till runs punk rock over in France vis his record label Guerilla Asso. He has a split 7" coming out and asked me to do the artwork for the sleeve. The design is going to screen printed onto card and double up as a front/back sleeve/insert in a reach around fashion. Kind of like this...
Here's what I did;
That is all.

My buddy Andrew is releasing a 4 way split LP by Jimmy Islip, Chuck Ragan, Sam Russo and Helen Chambers via his record label
Jimmy asked me to design the layout and I was happy to give it a shot. 
Here is a peep at the sleeve and the labels;


click it to make it big squinter!

There is an insert and a poster are on the way too. 
Coming soon to a distro near you...

Thanks

Get Rippin'!

Next Saturday night is going to be the Exist Skatepark Launch Party.
Ssssnakes are playing as well as The Plight and The Groundnuts & Independents. It's going to rule!

Here is the flyer I made for the show...
Soon enough I'm going to have a little screen printing set up in my bedroom. Once that's ready to go I will make some prints of this poster but don't hold your breath.

on again/Off Again



eat of this crapper, it is my body

I think we might get some new Arteries stickers made. We've finally paid off our van and now we are out of debt and ready to roll around the world some more. 
Nothing can tarnish the proud few in my eyes. 
It's time to put a sock in it inter-nerders!

greasy elbow

I doodled out some bits and bobs today, it's been a while since i've engaged my brain. My brian has shrunk and seems to be shrinking faster than ever. Oh well, who needs 'em?!

My good buddies Jack and Nath are starting some sort of charity based organisation with lots of positive, constructive plans for the near future. They needed a logo and asked me to do it. The project is called, 'Common Goals.'
I also drew up a t shirt design for Exist's latest and greatest project, a skatepark/venue/creative hub in Swansea. Oh boy!

Alex said that they wanted something weird...
Ssssnakes are going on tour today (sort of). Sounds like fun!

thanks

Big Mike - Sometime, Somewhere

My good friend Mike Santostefano asked me to help him out with the artwork and layout for a solo 7" of his that is coming out soon. He wanted to mainly use photography with text layered over the top of the images so that's what i did. It was enjoyable to actually use some of my photos for something.
Here are the various parts that make up the whole layout;

Thanks Mike!

Recently I've been getting into making flyers in a knock 'em up fashion using the xerox machines at Staples. Scanners and Photoshop have made my brain and fingers lazy. When I'd help put on gigs with friends as a snotty teenager we used to just rock up to the copying machines with Thrasher magazines, pens and scissors and make the flyers on the spot, they always looked cool and it was fun!
 For some reason I'm really into doing things that way again. Maybe it's nostalgia. 
The coolest thing about making flyers in the dreaded StaplesOfficeSupplySuperStore is that they have everything you need right there and if you act like you know what you're doing you don't have to pay for ANY of the supplies that you use - Take That!

Here are some i made earlier;
i've posted this one before... here it is again

DAMN SEAGULLS!

I made a t shirt design for my friends in ASTPAI
They are a really kick ass band, they are on tour in April, if you get a chance then go and see them play, they rule!
They're playing at Mozart's in Swansea with the all mighty NOZZLE on april 14th. i'm going to staples to make a poster for it tomorrow...

I also doodled on some 7" sleeves for my friends in THE COMPUTERS

They are releasing a single and getting friends of theirs to customise each sleeve so that they are all individual. Sounds like a pretty cool idea!
 I thought it would be good to spread one design across all 4 sleeves that i was given.

is this normal?

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!/?

Before embarking on a 5 week tour, mainly around the treacherous and frozen landscape of eastern europe, my friend Rhys Polopee and I printed a load of A2 posters to sell at the shows...

There are still a few prints left after the tour. you can buy them HERE!

We also printed a load of these crusty back patches but there aren't ant left.
I think Polopee might print some more when he gets a chance. At least in time for our next Arteries tour.

thanks for looking
