Here is a piece of art I did for a local punk rock band called The Incited. I'm not sure if they like it yet because a couple of the members of the band are currently serving in Iraq, so it might take them a while to send me their input. I hear that there is a hidden lamb's head in the plume of one of the hats. Although it was completely unintentional, I'll probably blur it out into abstract obscurity once I find it. Just painting this picture made me feel more patriotic.

Here's a new logo I did for a local band of rad women. I'm planning to see them Saturday night at the East End Cafe in Newark, DE. I haven't heard them yet, but I'm sure they rock out. Amy is the bass player from Eph Tradition, but I think she might play something else in Hatchetface. I like their name because it makes me think of that girl from John Waters' Crybaby who painted her eyebrows on in the weirdest way. And that makes me think of Baltimore, which reminds me how much I'm enjoying the new season of The Wire ... I'm not sure if the band actually likes the logo or not, since I haven't heard a word about it since I sent it to them, but I still like its Zig-Zag style. That was Amy's idea. I hope they dig it because I'd love to see it on a T-shirt.

This is a longer video I just made from the High On Fire show with more video and photos. Now it's off my chest. It felt like a real waste not to do something with the extra minute of audio I had from the show, so here is the montage. I still can't figure out what he's saying, but it seems like he means it!

Here is another psycho-psychedelic photo of the singer from High On Fire, who made a lot of noise last night at our local bar. Bad teeth are bad ass!

My ears are ringing still from the High On Fire show at Mojo 13 about 45 minutes ago. What? Huh? I can barely hear the click of my mouse over this high pitched whine. The band was cool. It was the first time they played in Delaware. Here is the last 18 seconds of their set. Their singer/guitarist was fun to watch. I really liked his 10-string guitar. These fellows are relentless!

It's funny when a band's name is on the tip of your tongue but you just can't imagine the sound the band makes. Mogwai has been that way for me lately. Now I've finally figured it out and I'm glad I did. It's kind of soothing music, like a tamer Tool. Or a mellower Rein Sanction, with some slicker Sonic Youth sprinkled throughout. This video has nifty graphics to go along too. I like the end of this animation a whole bunch. It feels kind of hopeful. I wonder why I never hear anyone talk about Mogwai. What the heck does that mean anyway? Are they a phenomenon somewhere? I found their CD My Father My King in the local library. I like it, but haven't really figured it out yet. I bet I'll find a mood when it will be perfect.

I just finished this picture for my friend's record label. It always amazes me how many bands are still out there playing old school punk rock. Stiff Middle Finger is a husband and wife combo who fight on stage between songs. It's kind of cute. And The Barons are kind enough to have me sing for them, but not on this CD. I'm trying to keep up my pen and ink chops, so I always welcome these little projects. My next job is creating the back side of this CD. Then a cover for Hatchetface: a local girl metal outfit featuring my friend Amy from the notorious Eph Tradition. Rock on Mid-Atlantic region!
