Here's some of the new Lovecraft monsters I've been working on for Yog-Blogsoth.
The first one is a really bizarre creature described as a grouping of sentient oblong bubbles in Dreams In the WitchHouse. The second one is from the same story and described as a sentient polyhedron. Yeah, it's strange. The last one is a "white polypous thing" from The Call Of Cthulhu.

The shirts I designed for Toilet Water have finally printed. They came out great! You can get the one that I designed or the one that my girlfriend Jeanne D'Angelo designed here.
I also decide, and it didn't take long, that an illustration blog was redundant. So, I've changed the focus to be just a beastiary of all the Lovecraft monsters I've drawn and continue to draw. You can check that out here at Yog-Blogsoth.

Hey dudes! I know it's been a really long time (almost a month) but I was working on two projects at once. So neither of them were ready for posting until about a week ago, and then my computer crapped out! I got a new one now and was finally able to post stuff.
The first is a record cover for a Belgian thrash band name Drunk. They sent me a very humorous email that started with "Hey we're Drunk". I was really glad the band name was capitalized!
The second two are a front and back cover for a Comeback Kid record. I haven't worked with them in a while so it was really cool to get on board again. Hope you like it!

Hey dudes, I haven't been able to update that much last month because I was on vacation in Colombia for a week! The end of the month also had a bunch of friends birthdays, a wedding and Memorial Day (poooool party!). I have been working though! I should have 2 record covers mid month (one front and back, one just front).
I also started a blog where I post the Lovecraft inspired monsters I've drawn, and continue to draw. Check it out at

Here's two new pieces! The first one is a tshirt for Knife and the second one is the back cover for The Lion Of Wall Street album. Higher res versios are up in the Shirts and Records sections.

Here's some new stuff! First off is a record cover for the Houston based band, The Lion Of Wall Street. I posted the high res version of this on the Records page and I'm currently working on the back cover which I'll post soon!
As I've written about before, I'm obsessed with Madballs and their rip offs/imitators. I also posted that I've been working on my own designs for my blog about them, Blarghhhspot. Well, below is the final rendered version of Er-ich the Retch-ed! Enjoy!

A bunch of my friends are in a sweet band that sounds like early Madball! They're called Pink Coffins and they're playing their first show tomorrow!
Also, ALL the "Shows" pages are now updated. I still have some more to add to the "Group Shows" page and some more installation shots for some of the shows but overall it's done!

This is a Manticore for an upcoming show on animals (real or mythological) at Pterodactyl in Philadelphia.

HOLY CRAP! This one almost killed me. So many windows. It's a record cover for a band called Here's The Story. They wanted "skyscraper sized monsters fighting in the middle of the city" and then went on to reference a Rampage. I LOVE giant gorillas so that guy stayed in there. But then I wanted to draw monsters that I'd been reading about lately. Namely a Kappa from Japanese folklore and a Hundred Eyed Giant from Greek mytholgy.
I also did a HUGE overhaul of the Shows section. There's a new drop down menu with listings for all the solo shows I've done. Some of it is still under construction (like the first three) but most of it is done.

Hey dudes! I just finished up a shirt design for my friend Carol's store called Toilet Water. Here's a small version and there's a large version in the Shirts section.

Just finished up a pretty ridiculous shirt design for a straight edge record label called xTruex.
For those of you who know me in real life, it's no surprise that I've been really into Madballs since the relaunch of the line in 2007. I decided to start a blog about my love of the toys and all the rip-offs and imitations from the 80's until now. I've even started making my own designs! There's only two posts up so far but you can check it out at Blarghhhspot.

This is a dvd cover I just finished for a series called Beverly Lane. It was described to me like this:
BEVERLY LANE is a 6 episodes series set in an office place. Steve Beverly retires & the new boss throws him a "Coney Island" themed party to celebrate...then all hell breaks loose, literally. A show filled w/ zombies, clowns & a mime.
I'll add a large version of this later this week.

The Heart Show was awesome! I wound up putting both my print AND original in the show. Cutting them out was pretty intense and there's a very intense wooden support system on the back.

This is the flyer for the The Heart Show that Alex Curtis does every year. It's in a new venue this year and the work that I've seen for it is looking great! The new piece on my splash page was done for this show.
Saturday Feb 13th: 3-9pm and Sunday Feb 14th: 12-4pm
STORAGE
1414 S Darien St.

These are a few samples of stuff I'm working on for Philadelphia Fun-a-day. The concept is to work on one piece of art a day for the entire month of January, then mid-February you show your stuff. I did it last year (and hopefully will get off my ass to post those images!) and enjoyed it a lot. This year I'm working on drawing a demon a day from the Lesser Key Of Solomon
This is the first batch, Dantalion, Balam, and Orobos

The three shirts above were done for a friends new clothing company. I had done work for his previous company that he had a falling out with. He asked me to wait on posting these for a few months, so here they are now. The idea was to base them on 70-80's exploitation movies. Night Of the Creeps is one of my favorite movies and just got released on dvd, which made the zombie shirt easy. And a steady lifetime diet of Z-grade Mad Max rip offs like New Barbarians and Escape From the Bronx added to my love of drawing mutants, made the post apocalypse design fun too. And yeah, sexy nuns are always easy.
Check the "shirts" section to see a larger version of the Mutant.
This was a design done for another Australian company called Horizon Clothing. You should also check the "shirts" section for a new Afends shirt.

NEW STUFF!! It's been a super long time since I uploaded stuff. I think only twice in all of 2009. It's not for lack of work, it's because I suck at websites. I just posted a a bunch of updates and very soon I'll be posting more to the "shows" section.
Here's a piece I did last year that I forgot to upload. It was done for John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia. It's been added to the Flyers/Posters section in a bigger format.
There's also been a new piece for a band from Mexico City called Us Against The World in the Records section. As well as two new shirt designs and a hoodie design.

Here's two pieces I did for recent group shows in Philly. The first one was done for a benefit for the American Bird Conservancy. It's my interpretation of a vampire finch. The second was for the Works On Paper show at Snyderman-Works Galleries here in Philly. I was trying to make the bloodiest piece that's ever shown there and I think I may have done it!
I also added a new piece to the Logo section.

So, it's been roughly 7 months since I updated the site. In that time I've been working on getting a new, revised site up, but that's taking too long. So, I'm gonna start updating here until I can get that working.
I've been busy in the previous months. Today I uploaded new record covers for Hellburnsaway, Crooked Ways and Durai, as well as shirt designs for Afends and another Australian comopany called Skeg. On top of that I had artwork in the Best Of Benna's group show, the Fun-A-Day Philadelphia group show. I'll also have work in the upcoming Works On Paper show at the Snyderman-Works Gallery here in Philadelphia as well as the group show For Those To Come and solo show at Benna's Cafe.

Wow, another long stretch with no updates. I think I need to get a new site up before I seriously start updating again. The last few months have been CRAZY. In October I had show at B2 in Philly called This Day Anything Goes. It was a mythical monster themed Halloween show.
After that opening and while the show was up, I went to Antarctica for a month. That was ridiculous and the BEST traveling I've ever done.
Right after I got back from that, I had ANOTHER show at Benna's Cafe in Philadelphia called "Seven Years, Seven Continents" where I drew EVERY wild animal I've ever seen. I spent about 8 hours (with help) hanging 220 drawings. I'll post pics of both shows and my trip soon, as well as some new flyers and shirts I've done.

I just finished two pieces. One is for a band called Anime Fire and is in the Shirts section and the other is an image for the last Yaphet Kotto show which is also a Portraits Of Past reunion show.

Here's a piece I did for a love themed show in January. The gallery section is a bit more complicated to update. So until I get help with that, I'll post it here.
Also, I just found this glowing review of one of last years shows. Check it out on Axe Wound!

LOTS of new stuff in the last couple months. Check out the Miscellaneous page for a new Afends ad and a couple other things. There's also a new Afends shirt design and updates to the Flyers, Gallery and Record Cover sections. Below are a bunch of smaller versions of flyers I've been working on that are going to be part of a mythical monster themed halloween show I'll be having in October at Benna's Cafe. There's also a fun set of drawings I did for a friends birthday of Godzilla monsters. Enjoy!

This is the longest I've gone without an update and I feel lazy for it. If I've been lazy it's just with the website. I've been doing a ton of work which I'm adding tonight. Here's a few of the shirts I worked on for Peter Versus Toby from Australia. They're another shirt company that uses a lot of drugs. Much like Afends.
I've also been traveling a TON. If you're interested you can see pictures on my two flickr accounts here and here and understand why I've been slacking on updates.
So, check out all the sections for updates, especially the flyers sections.

Two busy busy months. I went on a road trip to deliver one of my best friends to his new home in California. When I got back I was way behind on work, which is why it's been so long since the last update. The first things I did were the hang tag (above) and the shirts below for Afends. We've been doing a lot of work together and there's more on the way. Check the shirts section for seven(!) new pieces, and the flyers section for one.

Here are images of the hand bound books that I'm making for the Lovecraft themes show Eldritch Stygian Horror. The books contain small black and white versions of all the prints that will be available at the shows. There's only going to be 50 (25 at each show) so get there early.

So, here's the flyer and some samples of the show I've been working on for the last 8 months. It'll be up in Providence RI (Armageddon Shop) and Philadelphia PA (Benna's Cafe) with color prints/original line drawings for sale as well as a limited run of 50 hand bound books called Illustro Obscurum.

It's been a hectic month and it doesn't look like it's slowing down. I just added a poster for a Japanese fest, and a new record cover with lots of skeletons and a giant bloated worm. Ewww...

This past weekend, at the Starlight Ballroom in Philadelphia, was R.A.M.B.O.'s last show. They went out with a bang...and a viking ship, some spartans, two 12' tall mosh machines, George W. Bush, Jesus, and (yours truely as) Anarchoman. It was deffinitly and amazing and emotional goodbye. My friend Robby Redcheeks took some amazing photos and you can see them by clicking on his name. Scroll down to the "R"s and you'll see four sets from the show.
I also added a tshirt design for the French record label Abstraction.

No less then three new record covers (Poison Idea, Bedtime For Charlie, Fouryearstrong), as well as five new shirt designs (Team Bristlehead, Lowlife , Strength Approach, and 2 for Afends), a logo and a few flyers.

Wow! It's been a very long time since I got to update the site. There's been a lot going on. One reason for my neglect was a two week trip to Peru, as well as about 3 new record covers. I've also been working on a piece for a show in Philadelphia at the F.U.E.L. Gallery. Not to mention pieces for a sequel to my show at Benna's Cafe. So, look around and tell me what you think.
Above is the label drawing for the Palehorse record.

A few thing to add today. Above is a drawing for TLA Releasing's new movie Evil. It's a Greek zombie movie that's been playing in festivals all over the world. You can see a bigger version in the Miscellaneous section.

Ok, I just added a shirt design for Power Corrupts from Sheffield UK. It goes along with the theme of the record cover I did for them. The back of that along with the labels will be up soon. In the mean time here's a flyer I did last month that I forgot about.

Ok, I know it's been a while but it's not like I was being lazy. I just updated the site with a new record cover, a new zine cover and a project for the miscellaneous section. I had my Benna's Cafe show and it went better then even I hoped for. All but three of the pieces sold. I'm working on getting all 16 of them (with stories) up on the site.
I also did these two shirt designs. The first is for a New York band called Violation and the second is for the band Hollywood.

I'll be on tour for the next two weeks with Fighting Dogs. So, I may be slow to respond to emails and there wont be any updates until i get back. However, I will deffinitly respond, it just may take me longer. And if we're coming through your town you should stop by and say hello. So long for now!

It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks. I've been working on the last minute odds and ends for the Snag Gallery show tonight, as well as finishing up 11 of the pieces for the Benna's show and doing these two shirt designs.
The first design is for a Philly band called Bad Blood. They asked for a traditional looking robber getting attacked by guard dogs. Done! The design for Road Home was fun and I think pretty successful for an abstract idea like "a guy shooting himself in the head but crows come out of the gun."

A few people have asked me about buying prints and I just finally got around to doing something about it. I have 2 color hand screened prints of the Tragedy poster I did for the F.U. Church show for sale. They're $10 (plus $2 shipping) each, just email me your address and I'll mail it out to you. We did a run of 80 and there's only 10 left.
I also just finished a poster for Comeback Kid that will be hand screened (not by me) three colors for Scott's last show with the band.
------------ |
| Friday May 26, 2006

There's a ton of news today. First off, there's a last minute flyer for the best show ever!!! Go see this show no matter what. Disfear were amazing both times I've seen them. Plus Tragedy and two legendary Japanese bands!
I also just added a new flyer for the Look Back And Laugh Philly show. There's a funny story behind that. Todd from Fighting Dogs can only draw one thing. Skinheads stabbing themselves in the head with swords while throwing up and pooping. I kept the latter out of the flyer but the rest is all my tribute to Todd.
Also new this week, is a tshirt design for the New England band Outbreak. This is the third piece I've done for them, that they'll be using on their upcoming US tour.
I've now finished 9 of the 20 drawings for the Benna's show in August.
I also got added onto a show in Philly at the Snag Gallery (1008 s. 11th street). It'll be about six pieces in full color. The opening will be on Friday, June 9th from 3-8pm.

This is a cover for the Canadian band Radical Attack. It was hard as fuck getting likenesses on people you just get emailed photos of, but i think I did a good job. Thanks to Charlie and Sal for posing as zombies for the back cover!

The back cover for the The Dead Romance record is done and posted below. I also just found out I'm going to have a small show at a coffee shop in South Philly called Benna's. Since it's a cafe the work has to be "friendly", so my pieces are all going to be of animals I've seen while travelling with stories about when and where they were. I plan on doing 30 or so new pieces (I'm out of my fucking mind) and I'll post some of them when theyre done.
------------ |
| Monday March 6, 2006
|
So the back cover to the The Dead Romance record is almost done. In the meantime here are two pieces I did recently for myself. The first was a Valentine's Day present to my girlfriend and was inspired by a trip to Body Worlds. The second was just some Lovecraft spilling out into an 80's yearbook photo.
------------ |
| Saturday February 18, 2006

Just finished the front cover for The Dead Romance (It's now up in the records section). There will be 5 pieces altogether for this record.

This new site is finished! And it's about time. I'll be able to update this one frequently with news, photos and drawings.
The most recent thing I've done is a flyer for the Belegost record release show here in Philadelphia.
I just finished an LP for the British based exVorhees band Walk the Plank, and I'm currently working on a 7" for them. Once i get the hang of this I'll try to put up pics of stuff in progress.
Before that I was working on an epic job for Sparkle Of Hope from Belgium. it was a zombie themed cd front/back/insert/cd face/booklet/shirt designs. the final cover is up on this page.
