Love Hurts

Holy crap. Now I have to go see My Bloody Valentine to keep this love-train chugging. Enjoy.

Monster Behind the Mask


This is a new piece I am thinking of using for the entrance of my updated website. Eventually it will have some sort of background, but they are hard for me, so I am showing it alone for now. Enjoy!

Wolfman


"Even a man who is pure in heart,
And says his prayers by night,
May become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms,
And the autumn moon is bright."
-Gypsy Poem

I cannot express through words how much I love the Wolfman. One of the most tragic characters in horror history, and as far as I am concerned, Lon Chaney, Jr. presented the greatest werewolf of all time. I hope the upcoming remake will pay the homage it deserves. Anyway, here is my take (still in progress) of the famous Wolfman.

Represent. Green life, suckas.


This is the design I submitted for a contest on www.greeneyed.com, a really cool company that makes reusable tote bags for shopping and such. If you like it, you can vote for me HERE and help me to win 500 bones to help me pay off some student loans. And buy wine. Lots and lots of wine. Seriously though, check them out, there is some cool stuff on there, including designs by the Notorious K.O.B, and TuRic Shakur. Wordemup, youse guys.

Snallygaster Book

So, a few weeks ago I received an amazing gift...2 SIGNED COPIES OF "SNALLYGASTER: The Lost Legend of Frederick County"! This was a fantastic project I worked on with the author, Patrick Boyton. Here are a few glimpses of parts of the book I worked on, and you should all do yourselves a HUGE favor, and buy this beast HERE. Check out the official site, www.marylandmonster.com and show the dreaded Snallygaster some love. MAKES A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT!

Moving Along



Alright kids, so some things are now officially in motion, now I just have to wait...sorry, I worry about revealing too much for worry of superstition. Sorry, when I find out one way or another, I will tell all. Anyway, the cartoon stuff has been a refresher, but I am ready to get back to a grittier, more textured process, so this may be the last post of the fun-lovin' stuff for a while. I am working on updating my website, though, and am most likely going to have a cartoon-type section, so keep your eyes out. I love you all. Skeleface or die.

Latest Creations

I apologize, these are terrible photos with all kinds of blow-outs and weird shadows, but I just wanted to give you all a sneak peek at what I am hackin' out right now. I will post more soon, including quality scans of these two pieces.

Urban Threads Wrap Up

Ok, to bring this full circle, here are a couple of pictures of how the Urban Threads Halloween design I did turned out for practical application. I dig it a lot, and I use this bag for everything. It was an honor to be the October guest artist, and the bags are great! THANKS AGAIN NIAMH!!! Check out all that Urban Threads has to offer.

Breaking the silence with SCREAMS OF HORROR!

Hey Folks,

So, I am settled in San Francisco, have reliable internet, have somewhat of an idea as to how my scheduling works, and am ready to get back on the horse named "Blog." To begin with, I will wrap up a couple of tabled topics.

First, here are some images accepted into a group show in Massachusetts called "Passages of Death." The show is curated by Art and Discord, and it will be held at the Visions Art Gallery from November 1st through December 3rd. The show revolves around the ideas of death and the afterlife, so, obviously, I chose to contribute monsters, ghosts, and ghouls.

The Weeping Creep (Framed Print for $100)

The Spectre (Framed Print for $100)

Monster Kid (Framed Print for $100)


If anyone is interested in purchasing prints of these images (or any other, for that matter) just shoot me an email and I will get you pricing options.

I will write again soon, I promise. It is great to be back with all of you.

Album Design


This is for The Vintage Mink, a local Minneapolis rock band that is totally sweet. Check them out. I will post more after this process of moving 1800 miles away is over. Sorry, loyal followers, for the severe lack of new material. Just stick with me, though, as soon as I get to SF everything will kick back in again double-time. You guys are the best!

Horror! by Skeleface for Urban Threads

Hello everyone,
I was graciously asked to be a guest artist for the Halloween season of my good friend and colleague Niamh O'Connor's killer custom embroidery company, Urban Threads. I was honored to have been asked, and wanted to give something nightmarish enough to qualify, yet appealing enough to a larger audience for them not to be disgusted. This is the tentative result, as I am still awaiting approval, so imagine seeing this embroidered on a sweet messenger bag!

WWW.PRRTYFOOD.COM

So the evil genius behind Prrty Food, Joseph Gillette, has constructed and launched an official website for all of his psychedelic children. He has awesome stills from his video performances, illustrations, and photos of the live performances he has done. Check it out NOW and get to know these lovable and hopelessly dysfunctional characters as they make their way through a vivid, Technicolor world in pursuit of lost pigs, mermaids, and of course, dolphinzzz. I am telling you, Prrty Food is fresh as hell, and everyone should join in the fun by crackin' a handle of Jack and foolin' around with laser guns.

Work update!

Okay, here are a few samples of what I have been up to (outside of my F@#%ING JOBS).



This is still in progress.

Also still in progress.

A super crappy scan of a painting...STILL IN PROGRESS!

I usually only get time to work on these after I get home from work at around 10:30-11pm, and I work on them into the wee hours of the morn before going to work again at 9am. And that is only when there is no freelance to be done, so progress on personal work has been a bit sluggish, but I hope to have a decent body of work to start soliciting to galleries by the end of October. Wordemup, Ghoulies.
