New Illustration Work
its been a while since i’ve actually drawn anything without it becoming a tattoo or a show flier.
this was the first time i’ve done a piece like this and only used one piece of paper instead of 50 sheets of tracing paper or graph paper. usually i’ll just composite everything in photoshop, but i just sorta went for it here. i borrowed pretty heavily from Durer, Gorey, and pretty blatantly reused imagery from a piece i did last year, but i think i finally made something in this style i’ve been going for that isn’t too cartoony.
also, there’s a piece that goes with this i wanna have done this week, and hopefully both are gonna be used as album artwork for the EP my band Concussion just recorded.
I started this piece while we were up in Mass. recording at Dead Air Studios and the image came together pretty organically with the music. I’m really pleased with how it came out in general, but overall i’m just really happy to be drawing again.
More on recording later!
