The Pip Donahue Show!

Howdy folks. It's been a long time. Too long! Here are my five of the 20 limited edition album covers done exclusively for the release party of Pip Skid's Pip Donahue Show (which you can download, legally, FOR FREE! Go here. It's some really nutty/"out there"/lo-fi rap stuff. Loads of fun!)







Click on any one of them to view larger! I also helped out with the EP's actual cover.

Graphic Favours For Friends

In retrospect, that title sounds weird. Anyway...

...a for sale poster for my man Steve St. Louis:

Large!

...and a hastily put together Stylus ad for Pip Skid:

Large!

3 posters!

It's been way too long between posts for me. :)

Monster Popularity

For a Manitoban article. I haven't actually read the story yet, but I was told it was about the popularity of certain monsters. The person requesting the illustration (not the author) told me that the Frankie in the story was "one part charles manson, one part
oprah, one part einstein, and one part "journey" (the band)."
I gave him a Charlie shirt. She liked it. :)
See the large version here.
EDIT: The story can be found here.

My Gigposters.com Playing Card

I can't tell you how happy I am to be part of Gigposters.com's 3rd set of playing cards. I knew what I wanted to do once I got selected (3 of clubs was my first choice), but getting that very idea out of my head was very difficult (a surly dude holding 3 bats). Every initial sketch turned out wrong. Then I found this picture of Mickey Mantle at Corbis, and using that as reference, I was able to take off from there.

Clay (the genius behind gigposters.com) got back from SXSW a couple of days ago and now has 'em available for purchase! It's a great stocking stuffer – I can vouch for decks 1 and 2 – and all the cash goes toward the site, a place which has been a total boon to my still fledgling illustration and design career. Hey...here's the entire set. If you want, you can buy an uncut sheet, but hurry, they tend to go fast!

Athavale Poster: April 12th show

I really liked doing this. I had the work of Jen Wang on my mind while making it.

The Double Bacon Genius Burger: Smithtape Vol. 2

A one night job for my man, emcee John Smith. The hand-lettered treatment is partially inspired by Haze's work on the Beasties' Check Your Head (those liner notes blew my mind back then). As I write this, Smitty is on tour with Co-op and Hunnicutt, and he should have these with him.
Photo by Kevin Trotsky, logo/mask designed by me (based on a quick sketch by Smitty himself).
