springtime shirt design, a drawing in a sketchbook ended up becoming our first real shirt. the print on these came out great and i'm really pleased with how these shirts came out.

another straight pen drawing. i've also been excited to break away from standard portrait drawings of the same composition thats usual for me.

A Boys Gotta Eat

i've been trying to get better at planning less for drawings and being more spontaneous. usually when i'm sketching something out in pencil it'll take me forever to ink something just because i get stressed out hoping my drawing will come out like i imagined it. with this drawing i actually drew everything straight with pen which is very rare for me. for this being straight with pen it came out much better than i expected and i'm happy with this drawing. this drawing has no direct reference to anything, except being inspired by pettibon like usual. i even took more influence this time by including text like many of his drawings.

the first one is the original black and white version, the second is colored in photoshop.

another flier drawn in a moleskine. the majority of it was drawn in class months ago. the face and text were added pretty quickly. digitally colored grey.

flier for the upcoming return of Joyce Manor to the camel. this flier was actually drawn while sitting on a beach, in Bethany Beach, Delaware. the actual drawing is in a moleskine sketchbook, scanned in, and colored in photoshop. i'm stoked on how it turned out. and obviously im stoked to see JM again. the set in April was so much fun.

this will be the first Norfolk show i've played in a long time besides the Just Friends show at Path back in the winter.

really simple collage/text written with tablet to make a last minute flier.

so titanic was re-released in 3D. i haven't had a chance to see it yet. but i like to pretend that the ending was changed, so that Jack lives, also that they didn't have the heart of the ocean in the end. so at some point Jack might have worked in fast food...

"i'm not a machine"

sticker drawn/designed for my noodley friends Cheyenne.

stickers drawn/designed for local jangly rockers Sundials.

Rock poster. It's funny that that skeleton/basic layout of the flier were actually done in the fall for the Men/Flechette flier i drew up for Boone. I was so indecisive about it though that i couldnt bring myself to ink it because it didnt look right to me. Fast forward like 8 months and i'm going through my drawing pad and i see that flier again, in pencil. I inked everything in this using india ink, a sumi brush and a dip pen (finer lines on the skeleton). All the text was added without pencilling first, which is rare for me. Considering how fast the actual inking/updating was for this flier, i'm pretty satisfied with it. It's fitting since this is a last minute show Roger mostly booked. I was trying to help him out with a flier.

Trying to get loose.

This is a shirt i drew up recently. It's a drawing of Rachel's brother's puggle, Joe. This is from a photo of him sleeping. I think it's funny, having a shirt for Family Cat, with a DOG. Hopefully i'm not the only one.

Springtime sticker. Still waiting on these to arrive as well. This was actually drawn while on the road back from the Promise Ring reunion show in Chicago. Marshall was driving and i was riding shotgun, drawing in my sketchbook for part of the time. This is obviously a vague road sketch that isn't too destination-specific, but i wish i could remember where we were when i drew this. It was possibly in Ohio.

Family Cat sticker I drew up. I ordered Family Cat and Springtime stickers about the same time almost a month ago. The site said it would be 3 day delivery... i'm still waiting on both.

This is a portrait of Tyler. He was originally drawn wearing a Cake shirt, something fitting for him, but it was edited out later to avoid an kind of confusion.

I rarely put myself out there with my art, as much as i need to. However, I was asked to possibly help out with a show for the band Joyce Manor, through one of the members i had met when Tiger Tail played with them last summer. I gladly said i'd do whatever i could but also asked if i could draw up a shirt for them. I drew up two versions of this image, based on the song "Leather Jacket", and they decided to go with it. It's one of the coolest feelings getting to draw a shirt for a band you like a lot as well as getting paid on top of it. Joyce Manor and the guys in it are great.

Flier made from a scan out of a National Geographic. This show was awesome. It was actually my first time seeing Brief Lives as well as In Circles. Both bands played really tight sets. This is still my favorite set Springtime has played as well. Out of the handful of shows we've played so far only two of them have been with Charlie. This has been our only Richmond one with him so far. The other was in Harrisonburg.
