Calabrese=Kickass Horror Rock

That's right, these boys are crankin' out the tunes full of death, destruction, ghouls, ghosts, vampires, and everything else that my life revolves around. I have been listening to these fellas for a while now, and have always been impressed by the artwork used on their albums, posters, and merch. So, naturally, when I found out they are DIY and hire on artists themselves, I did my best to appease the Horror Gods, and they were kind enough to give me a shot. So, I was hired to dress up their blog for them with a header, blog-separator, and a portrait of my good man, Jimmy Calabrese. So here are the finished pieces, and I encourage you all to CHECK THESE GHOULS OUT!!! Website AND BLOG, House of Mysterious Secrets. Seriously, super catchy music, with awesomely dark lyrics, all wrapped up in a screaming, bloody bundle. So here are the pieces.

This one is an image for the break in between blog posts, similar to IWYS.


This is the title banner for the blog, House of Mysterious Secrets.


And this is the portrait of Jimmy Calabrese, who enjoys skeletons, H. P. Lovecraft, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon.


So, I would just like to formally thank Jimmy again for giving me the opportunity to make some work, and I will try my damndest to keep getting the word out about you boys!

SKELEFACE OR DIE! NEVERENDING HORROR!

Great pic! I've been listening to Calabrese for a while now, and I personally feel they're the best horror rock band since the Danzig-led Misfits! I had the pleasure of meeting them at a gig in San Antonio earlier this year, and all three of them were exceptionally cool. Your artwork captures their style quite well!
