DJ Sober of Decade Clothing recently approached me and asked me to do a flyer for an upcoming Top Notch event with 7l, DJA1, and himself. This was pretty cool because these guys are talented artists themselves and don’t really need my help at all, but of course I accepted. I wanted to make this [...]

I have always loved great DVD covers. I think there is something so appealing to the format of a DVD case. It is very sleek, and is just a great width and height for a great piece of art. Most of the covers I have enjoyed over the years are from the Criterion Collection. I [...]

I recently started writing for Fresherthan.com and my first assignment handed to me was to answer the question “What is the greatest gift you could ever receive for Christmas?”. I promptly replied with this statement and an illustration to accompany it. Prepare for the awesomeness that is Laser Tiger:
“Hello, my name is Objektiv One. If [...]

I dont know much about The Zonders except they are German and they are very kick ass at working in square format. This triple German threat makes surrealistic art that verges on the edge of Escher but also retains an edge of modernity. I love the imagery these artists use, and also how they use [...]

In fact, I was mesmerized by it. I stared at it for hours just studying the simplicity of the designs but how potent and perfect they were. The [...]

I recently have been obsessed with photo realism. I have delved into this type of work lately because I think that realism is perfect for expressing certain emotions, specifically shock, horror, and loneliness. Recently Headkrack came to me with a concept for an album cover. He wanted a bear eating a child. At first I [...]

I have been digging for images a lot lately for my collages. The internet can not always suffice, sometimes you have to go to the source. If you want your collages to look like they are 50 years old then you should see what pictures looked like 50 years ago, right? Anyways, I have been [...]

I have been a fan of Aesthetic Apparatus for years and years. Suddenly when I was in college I found myself in printmaking pulling posters and things like that for fun. My love for them was rekindled again. Aesthetic Apparatus has been a leader in this style of band posters. They were up on it [...]

I love hand screenprinted band posters. The simplicity of design that goes into them are astounding.
