touch up

Just before thnx gvng I went down to Kaladi to touch up a mural I painted there a number of years ago. Originally designed as a graffiti deterrent the mural was commissioned by the shop to resemble a mix of Catholic Iconography and modern street art and it has really become a landmark in the DU neighborhood. But due to the fact that I incorporated a lot of wheat pasting and wood panel installation the weather in CO has really given this mural a proper beating. Unfortunately I never got good documentation of it while it was fresh on the wall and I only just recently took photos of it. I am omitting the ratty parts to save face but understand the wall is 44FEET X 19FEET and the main character is a good 15feet tall. huge, one man, one ladder, 2.5 months of work.


the patron saint of coffee is, a close up of the main character St. Drogo as he spreads the zen of coffee over his followers.

the electrical boxes at the end of the wall feature small portraits of a number of saints and I have, from time to time, found flowers and rosaries attached to the faced of the mural, and I thought that was pretty neat.

seasons f'ng greetings

Just hand pulled some seasonal cards for Crema coffee and Designer Nigel "3 star"Penhale who broke an uncontested world record for most F-bombs used in a holiday card. Thought they looked nice wanted you to think so to.


so be nice and you might fucking get one.

Winter Soiree

So I was asked to do a sow poster for Nataniel Ratliff's 4 annual winter soiree at the Fox theater. It featured performances by Nathaniel Rateliff, the Centennial, Harpoontang, and Paper bird under an alias for booking reasons. here is the poster

mod livin it up

So we have a show up till...sometime in January. Its a cool show a lot of diverse work, but it is at a cluttered furniture store way out on colfax called Mod Livin' . Really neat stuff but high prices and low art sales. So I made my contribution to the show more design oriented a few show posters but mostly some nice mono prints.


These are available as a set 4- 12X18 unique one offs each number is hand designed and hand pulled to insure uniqueness. $120 for the set

I also have 2 of my favorite mono prints of all time both are from the last 2 years of art crank prints, hanging in the show either of which I would be happy to part with, unframed, for $200. but I don't have photos so let me know if you are interested and I will see what I can dig up.

anal bum cover process

So this little project for local Denver whu-dup funk band Bop Skizzum took an unforeseen turn for the metal. I had a nice little concept cover designed out for their latest 7" titled Beauty Queen all set to roll when they went off the Pushead deep end and wanted to stick with something a bit more macabra.

here is the full process of what came to be


I was given some images by band of things that they had been kicking around and they were really into album cover for DJ Shadow's-The outsider by The designer Paul Insect . Eventually they picked this image which was crudely thrown together in a matter of minutes just to give the band a concept idea. Bare in mind most clients whom call me are on a tight deadline and we went from concept to final up on itunes in less than a weeks time.



From there they left it up to me to make it a bit more "funky" and add some color and my own kind of touch too it. Of course what I do next is so far above and beyond what I needed to it is kind of pathetic. I made 2 YES TWO different paintings (you know with the brushes and the tactile mediums and all) that I proceeded to discard in the name of the basic line drawing whihc is next.


This is the cleaned up fine line drawing I made from the painting above. I went from full color painting and regressed back to black line drawing. Don't say I never learned process progression while snowboarding, I mean going to art school.


I scanned that drawing; added some "funk" colors; came up with a text based hand drawn logo; slapped it on the ass; and sent it home with mommy...er something. 45+ plus hours to layout front and back of the sleeve and the spindle covers, which are probably the best part of the whole project and I still feel like the concept I preferred would have been not only more appropriate but also more interesting. maybe I will post that someday but that aint today, cause honestly I may sell it to someone at some point. 4 hours billed...thanks local band budgets because of you I can pay almost half my rent...most of the time.

I will be selling the paintings and some hand tinted prints soon, the album is available on itunes now and I will shoot some photos of the actual vinyl when it comes in after the new year. I am sure there will be a an album launch party at some bar but I probably wont be there...cause I'm broke.

buy stuff from me.

system and station

So some friends of mine in a little band from Portland that you may have heard of called

Beast of Burden

Its been a good long while since I finished up a painting. Was feeling rusty and this one just didn't want to get tucked in and put to sleep but after about 6 weeks of work its finally at a point where I am tired of changing things back and forth and feel its best to just lock it down as is. So here it is in all its glory.

Mountain dew done did dat

Got to do a sweet poster for Mountain Dew's last campaign...back in June...I think. Anyway these were 1 color screen prints done by another printer so I did my best to make it as tough as I could just to see if the guy had an metal, and he sure as shit did even though they are UV ink not acrylic.

I just want to draw like this all the damn time. If you have a band or a project you want something like this for better let me know.

Bordo Bello

I actually did this piece for a human face themed show called the Prop in Chicago but couldn't afford the rush shipping on it so luckily there just happened to be a skate deck show in town that same week so I could get it out of here and it would stop judging me for being a procrastinative jerk face.

Sold $70...it was a silent auction for the kids.

Some things will never see the light of day

I did this design for Pasquini's some months ago built the whole gall darn thing in illustrator just to see if I could still use illustrator and they decided to use an alternate version that was from a photo...this maybe the only place it ever gets seen so look and enjoy the rarely seen huth vector.

3X12", ink, gesso, and screen print on reeves bfk. $200- sold

this was a piece I lost track of and never got a photo of until just recently it was shown at the opening show of the short lived Edifice gallery in COsprgs. Crude themes of pedophilia and youth sexuality inspired this image.

still available

Who would of thought that the painting below wouldn't sell for $450...hmmm? Well I have it back and the price has been drastically reduced so if you are interested contact me new price is $225. Galleries in Colorado that have no contact to credible art buyers, wide spread marketing, or national booking shouldn't try to sell art for a 50/50 share. GET IT!
