Bond... Eternal Bond

Back in 2005 I did the art and layout for the Eternal Bond CD by my old pals The Independents. This year the album is making its debut on vinyl so I was called upon to revise and update the original sleeve design and here be the result. My first idea was to do a major reworking of the original front cover design which you can see below. We finally decided to use something much closer to the CD version for the LP sleeve but the revised devil head art will be used on stickers and T-shirts. Stay tuned for MORE SATANIC ACTION!

Rawkahula, Baby!

Here's a bit of advertising art I just put together for my old pal Nick Rawkahula's suave line of hot rod/rock'n'roll action wear. The ad will be printed with Rawkahula shirt designs and info superimposed over the drawing but here you get the art in its raw form. I'm workin' on 5 new record sleeve designs right now so lotsa new stuff will be posted here soon. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Crooked

Gotta bunch of new stuff to post up in the next few days. To kick things off here's the European tour poster for Winnipeg country/roots combo Crooked Brothers featuring a guest appearance by the ubiquitous Winnipeg Police helicopter. Lots more coming soon so... Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Bike Finks

Just finished this design for the rockin' Chillax line of T-shirts over in France. I'm crankin' out new work like crazy lately so expect more regular updates to this here blog thing in the near future. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Lonely Street

New poster design for the release party for the second CD by the Lonely Vulcans, due out soon on the always happening Transistor 66 label. This one was mostly influenced by all the underground comix I read during my misspent youth. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

I Was A Teenage Caveman

Here's the sleeve layout for the forthcoming Teenage Caveman Beat Gargantua 7" by veteran British horror rockers Zombina & The Skeletones. This will be a limited numbered edition of 250 copies and is the first silkscreen printed record sleeve of my career. Copies will be available just before Halloween. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Bad Bad Brains

New poster for the upcoming Winnipeg show by Montreal psychobillies The Brains. This one was inspired by that creepy scene in Attack of the Giant Leeches where voluptuous harlot Yvette Vickers and some swamp hicks are exsanguinated by giant leeches in a slimy aquatic grotto. Stay tuned for MORE EVIL BRAIN ACTION!

Positively DOA

Poster art for the upcoming DOA show here in Winnipeg. These guys have been one of my fave punk combos since the very early '80s so it was a real wild kinda thrill to get to do a poster for 'em. We are doing a limited run of signed and numbered silkscreen posters of this one which should be pretty cool. Stay tuned for MORE TALK-ACTION=ZERO ACTION!

Evil Is As Evil Does

Just finished this LP/CD design for the debut full length by creepy Brit garage combo Thee Eviltones. The front cover was vaguely inspired by the giant demon in the classic 1957 horror epic Curse Of the Demon. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Secret Hideout

Just finished this sleeve art for the upcoming download-only compilation Noises From The Hideout. This is the 6th in a series of comps put together by the GaragePunk Hideout website and you can download the album there starting September 19. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

That's Cool, That's Trash

Here's the cover art for the upcoming LP by Argentinian one man band Trash Colapso. My idea for this one was to have it look like one of those weird, primitive religious albums you see in thrift stores. 'Cuz weird, primitive and religious are where it's at, Jack. Incidentally this is the first one man band I've done a sleeve for since the one I did for a Hasil Adkins record way back in 2001. More stuff comin' soon so... Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Fat, Drunk and Stupid

Here be the poster for my first ever fine art gallery show, happening next month in Victoria, BC.

Frantic Freakout

Just finished this poster for next month's Frantic City Freakout garage rock bash in Toronto. Looks like a blast! This one is kinda influenced by one of my fave cartoonists, John Holmstrom of Punk magazine fame. Should have some more new stuff for you real soon so... Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Poor Traits Of The Artist

Here's my spankin' new self portrait. It's pretty accurate if I do say so myself. I think this is gonna be part of a secret project I'm workin' on. More on that later (maybe). I should be finishing a new record sleeve project today so... Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

TV Party

Just finished this promotional illustration for party-rockin' VJ Tom Yaz. Got to exercise a bit of my Hanna-Barbera influences on this one. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

Back To The Jungle

Here's the cover art for Volume 2 of the Brazilian Nuggets series. These comps are gonna feature the wildest and most obscure rock'n'roll 45s to come outta the '60s scene in Brazil. Volume 1 is being pressed even as we speak (check the archives of this blog for the sleeve art of that) and this one should follow soon. Plans are for me to do the cover for Volume 3 as well. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!
