So if you see the vulture coming, He’s flying circles in your mind, remember there’s no escaping for he will follow close behind.

Black Hearts

A little airbrush practice working on the DOOM project. Looks like I’m going to be making a metal slipcase for the vinyl, as the metal fingers and chromed out grill need a matching record…so there should be some welding and engraving happening sometime soon, working on the specs now.

Born Like This

This is for the redesign of DOOM‘s ‘Born Like This’ since Eh? did a pretty shite job of it despite doing good stuff before, mainly on Prince Po’s album, but they’ve kind of fallen off. Found out that DOOM named it after Bukowski’s ‘Dinosauria, We’ and got a proper boner when I realised that the Buke is actually on the album reading the poem and I hadn’t noticed because I slept on the album hard when I shouldn’t have. Anyway I’m gay for doing that and this is a still from the movie ‘Born Into This’.

Tried out some new techniques colouring on photoshop on a black and white painting in acrylic, mainly because I can’t mix colour when I paint and washes over acrylic don’t work. I used a flesh base with white and red then used a blue overlay, all guess work and pretty stoked that it worked I’m gonna use this a lot more.

PS. I’m also doing some single covers. Batty Boyz is one no doubt. I don’t know about the others yet… Gazzillion Ear and another who knows.

Other stuff that I didn’t take out. Part of some collabo work with Adam, which is why it doesn’t make sense, it might end up here later.

Some painting I did for a comic and then cut it out of the comic.

Et In Terram Ibis

Dead stuff on a memento mori tip, done with plaster in a sugar skull mould, still contemplating doing some more inking over this one, it’s a bit bland at the mo’, but I don’t want it to get mexican or overly decorative. I’ve got another one on the go so I should have a set by the end.

God’s Son

Oh my God look a painting of the son of God for a project, because I’m so religious and shit. The body was a monoprint, which I painted over partially (mostly).

As planned, I am behind on work, so I need to like do something. Unfortunately work doesn’t equate with rebel status.

Our Father who art in nature must have a great and overwhelming love for no-goods and blots-on-the-town and bums.
