Iniquity

Once upon a time, there was a perfectly happy heart who lived in blissful autonomy outside of any body. Then one day, a mystical dagger from outer space pierced the heart with a mortal wound, cutting it from left atria to right ventricle. The commotion summoned a serpent who violently protested by displaying it's over-sized fangs. Luckily, I was there to witness the entire event so I could draw it later.

Sketches

Here's my latest sketch. Hopefully I'll get around to drawing it soon. Contact me if you're interested in it.

Sketches

I've been trying to sketch more lately. So far I think it's been rewarding. Here's a sketch for a design I'm currently working on.

Judgement Day - Nuclear Vishnu

I've had the privilege to work with the nation’s best string metal band, Judgement Day. Anyone who hasn't yet heard their unique take on metal (violin, cello, drums, and NO guitar; need I say more?), quit reading and go to their website immediately. I’ve been trying to develop my style more on this design, and I really like where it took me. I hope you guys like it too.

This shirt will be for sale at Judgement Day’s show at The Independent in San Fransisco on September 29. The show is called "Evolution of Strings." If you live in the area, check it out.

Here's an animation of the design process.

Imago Dei, Universitas Improbitas

I fused a few ideas I had bouncing a round in my head for a while and came up with this. I tried to use objects and symbols that can be interpreted as both divine and depraved in an attempted to juxtapose the being made in God's image and being inherently flawed.

Rise of the Unholy Trinity

I was inspired by Albrecht Durer and my eschatology class to draw an interpretation of Revelation 12-13. I felt particulary challenged to draw it when my professor said that no one interprets Revelation completely literally. I decided to give it a go, and came to the conclusion that the Bible has some of the best metal imagery around. I've been trying to get some bands to bite, but nothing so far so it's for sale.

Monster Pop - Diver's Nightmare

It's been a long time since I posted anything. However, school's almost over, and my mind is full of interesting ideas. Here's a shirt design that I finished last summer that just got printed for Monster Pop's spring line. I haven't done many full color designs like this recently, but I still like doing this style of linework. I have two other designs for for sale there too. Check them out if you're interested at http://monsterpop.storenvy.com.

Astrela - Dissection

Here's a shirt I did a couple months ago that Astrela picked up. They're a local post-hardcore/screamo band from Rhode Island. Check them out some rough samples here: http://www.myspace.com/astrelamusic. This is probably the goriest shirt I've done yet, but it was a lot of fun.
