The Noodle Queen

The "Noodle Queen". 

Queen of the noodle pups. 

 

Actually, she's the only noodle pup.

Drawn with ink and brush while i hung out with Rachel, who was doing actual work in her studio.

"Hot Leather" Record Release poster

Poster drawn for my pal Ethan, for the Record Release show for New Turks' new EP "Hot Leather". Drawn in ink, brush, dip pen, and tooth brush. Scanned in to darken it.

Jerri Blank shirts

I also printed  Jerri Blank shirts and sold them at Zine Fest. I was pretty stoked on how well they went over. I've got only one left, size small.

Cereal Death: Issue One

Patrick and I both made smal zines in a week (actually 2 or 3 days) for this year's Zine Fest. It was cool to finally participate in one of these. These are a few pages from my zine. Everything was done in Ink and Brush.

Drawn a week or two ago using all ink and brush, at 4am when i couldn't fall asleep. This was then watercolored the next day. I'm trying to get better at using color in my stuff. We'll see how it goes.

Drawing that's in limbo right now. Pretty obvious Pettibon influence in this one.

Olive's Birthday Bash

This is a drawing of Olive on a scooter for her courier job. This was drawn in pen, cleaned up a little in photoshop and made into 1" buttons for Olive's birthday party this summer. This design was then used for a tshirt and stickers by my friends Big Awesome.

Salinas Records 10 Year Anniversary Show

 Swearin'

 PS Eliot

 Little Lungs

 

The Ambulars

The Salinas Anniversary show ruled. I was excited to finally see Little Lungs, after getting into them so late. I can't count the amount of times i've listened to "Hoist Me Up" on repeat, I love that record start to finish. I was also looking forward to seeing the Ambulars, Swearin' and PS Eliot again. 

Before this it had been a while since i'd gone to a show and discovered new bands that i really liked. I was only familar with less than half of the lineup, and i ended up enjoying almost every band. 

I wish i had taken some photos of All Dogs. And i wish some of these photos had turned out better in general. I've still got a lot to learn using film with a flash. 

But at the end of the day... i finally saw Little Lungs.

South Hill EP

This is the first thing i've painted in probably a year. There are a few little problems i have with it, but overall i'm happy with how it came out, especially for being a medium that i don't use often. This was painted with oil on a homemade panel, with text added digitally. This is the cover of our debut 7" EP.

Speedy Ortiz 8/10

A very quick flier, drawn almost entirely straight in pen. Speedy Ortiz rules and so does the rest of the lineup. This will also be our record release show.

This is one of my favorite fliers i've made. It was drawn in pen in a moleskine and then i inverted some of it in photoshop, which explains why the letters look so clean (clean for me at least). I'm hoping to add another color or two and have posters screenprinted for sale in July.

Ex-Breathers 1/17

Some much delayed updating... this was a flier for a show my great friends Ex-Breather's played here. This is also one of the few shows i've ever booked. This show had a turnout much better than expected, especially since this was the first snow day of the season.

Check out Ex-Breathers! Great band and great guys.
