Spine Tinglers

Here's a new T-shirt/logo design for Winnipeg's newest punk rock combo the Spine Tinglers. I don't get to do much straight up punk art these days, and even less black and white work in these daze of full color everything so I had a lotta fun working on this one. More weird junk comin' soon so... Stay tuned for MORE EAT THAT RAT ACTION!

Infernal Combustion

Kickin' off 2013 with this nutty poster design for hep Spanish label Ghost Highway Recordings, in celebration of their 5th year in the hot wax racket. This one was inspired by AC/DCs "Highway To Hell"and a couple of crazy dreams I had years ago and Lux Interior's great line about being a Drag Racer on LSD and various other sludge that's circling around in the nethermost reaches of my slobconscious mind at any given moment. Got a few other backlogged items to get posted up here soon so... Stay tuned for MORE ACID-BLASTIN' HIPPIE FREAK ACTION!

Habanero Affair

I'm mighty stoked about this logo design I just finished for Habanero Sombrero, a Mexican food truck that will be serving up spicy delicacies to the hungry hordes here in Winnipeg when next Taco season comes around. A couple of years back I got to design a beer label and now I have conquered the world of Mexican food. What artistic horizons are left to me at this point? Ah, well. Stay tuned for MORE HOT'N'SPICY ACTION!

Halloween Scream

Recently seen on gloom-shrouded Winnipeg streets was this bold color poster featuring a reworked version of an old drawing of mine (the original of which is buried somewhere in the archives of this blog if you'd care to dig it... up) and the super sharp-looking graphic design wizardry of Ms. Vanda Toews, creator of many cool rock'n'roll show posters in addition to her high class professional design work. I seldom seem to get any Halloween-related art gigs so thanks to Vanda for throwing this cool assignment my way. I hope all you kids are out there creating Halloween havoc on this, the best holiday of the year. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

$1.000,000 Worth Of Twang

Brand new cover art for the upcoming debut album by Norwegian instro tyrants the Twang-O-Matics. This will be out by the end of the year on 10" vinyl and CD from Hack Shack Records. Tried to get a swingin' late '50s/early '60s style into this one to go along with the Link Wray/Duane Eddy inspired musical stylings of these Twangsters, who include ex-members of the Basement Brats, Marsmen and Squareheads (Norwegian variety) in their illustrious lineup. This should be a great one so keep an eye out for it in your local rekkid shoppe. Stay tuned for MORE TWANGS THE THANG ACTION!

A Beacon From Mars

Here are a couple of variations on the Martian DJ art I recently did for local college radio station UMFM to promote their first annual Pledge-O-Rama fundraising campaign. The cool design work on this stuff was done by top Winnipeg punk rock design genius Steve Hallick and I am super stoked about how well it all came out. Above is the main poster image for the Pledge-O-Rama campaign and below you can see Steve's full layout for the double CD comp of Winnipeg bands that you can get as a premium if you kick down with some cash. Check out Steve's cool website here and pledge a few bucks to support campus radio here. Thanks to Steve and UMFM for letting me be a part of this super cool project.

Beware Of Dog!

Here's an alternate version of the cover art for the forthcoming 11th issue of super cool Canadian garage/punk/art mag Mongrel Zine.
