New print of an old piece





This piece was originally a pastel with ink and colored pencil. I liked it so much I decided to make a very limited edition print. If you'd like to buy one - go here:

Also, this is an old novelty print up for sale. Not everyone knows about my fascination with a certain R&B performer who is, unknowingly, a creative genius. Anyway, this is my homage to him - check it out.

Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert in progress




My former employer, Uncommon Ground, and my very supportive bosses there, Helen and Michael Cameron, gave me my first paid poster job for their annual Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert series. Jeff played one of his most critically acclaimed live performances at our little establishment which has since grown into a huge full-service, primarily local and primarily green-centered restaurant with a coffee bar and a music room featuring local and touring artists every night of the week. Every year, Michael and Helen host a tribute concert that Jeff's mother usually attends and I was extremely flattered to have her personally thank and compliment me on the poster that I did in the past. This year, I am once again doing the poster. Here is the line work made from a combination of ink brushwork on clayboard.

more current work







Currently, my work has been inspired by many disparate ideas - some of them are vintage/victorian Halloween imagery, childhood memories mized with sobering adulthood realities, and ritualistic imagery rooted in voodoo, santeria, and Aztec rites. Sounds weird? Well, I guess it is. Here is some of my current work - more of it will be evident in my upcoming posters for Priestess and Black Cobra.
