Heir to the Throne - hot in these rhinos

Again, former bandmates hit me up for some artwork. I love working with friends, new and old, and had a blast making sure it was HOT IN THESE RHINOS! haha


Sowbelly Bitchhog - the hog

My friend and former bandmate Jim from Sowbelly hit me up about doing a shirt for his newly reformed project and I was extremely excited to get back into it. At this point I had really put band design on the back burner while I focused on tattooing, but getting into this, and mixing what I had been learning in tattooing with what I enjoyed about pen illustration was super fun. I was super happy with how this one came out, and now, excited to do more work with bands again!


TtEotD - Horseface

Another design for TtEotD. 


TtEotD - Drown

One of my favs of the last few years. Lots of fun with perception. First time I really feel like I "got" line-width. Thanks to Mr. Josh Belanger for the tips!!!


Lazarus A.D. - The Mother

I had this drawing sitting around for quite a while when my buds in Lazarus A.D. hit me up about doing a few shirts for their upcoming tour, so I was pretty excited to finally get to finish it and get it out there. Came out sweet, also marked the beginning of my obsession with skull-face women. haha


Lungs - Abstract

Abstract design for Lungs. Complete with "leslie" logo. Check it out.


Hatebeast - Executioner

Pretty plain and simple request from these righteous thrashers. 


Beasts of No Nation - Palin

My brohammer Mike from Beasts of No Nation (& Darkest Hour) hit me up looking for a policitcally charged design that took some hard jabs at everyone's least favorite conservative super-moron. This was a blast.

Never Used

So, this is an album cover/ logo design that was never used. For whatever reasons, sometimes bands just stop communicating with you, and you are left with cool stuff that is useless. Which sucks. BUT, it happens, these dudes were nice to work with for the most part and whatever, its all for sale now. lol Hit me up if you want your logo done up all church-window black metal style like this, or if you want this righteous warrior on your album cover.

To any photoshop nerds out there, the "before" shot is below.

More Old Photoshop

I did this a year or 2 ago. I don't do the whole "everything in photoshop" thing very often but it's fun to explore once in a while.

Decrescent - Exploding planet shirt

The dudes in Decrescent hit me up for a logo and shirt design. The logo is hand drawn (with a bit of illustrator tweaking) and the shirt design is all photoshop. It's fun to drop the pencil and just play with photoshop every once in a while. Their idea of an exploding planet seemed pretty daunting at first, but I was pretty happy with how this turned out.

*notice people being abducted by the logo* hahaha
