Proving again that sometimes less is more.

Super F•R•I•E•N•D•S

I have NEVER posted this 1999 illustration anywhere because, well, it's for a TV show that I find in many ways loathsome. This spec piece was done purely as a portfolio piece back in the days when freelance illustrators would drop off their book at magazines and pick it up a few days later... is that still done? I'm finally posting it because, what the Hell. Plus the Jennifer Aniston likeness ain't bad.

Soul Coughing: The Looming Head of Yuval

I haven't really posted that much of the art that I did in-house when I worked at Warner Bros. Records from 1996-1999, but here's a drawing of the band Soul Coughing that was done for some promotional reason that has disappeared into the brain wrinkles....

Boys Wonder

A series of Robin costumes from DC Comics, cartoons and movies. First is the original, rather ridiculous design. Second is an Earth-2 version of an adult Dick Grayson in transition to taking over the mantle of the Batman. Third is, oof, from BATMAN FOREVER. Fourth is Neal Adams' redesign of the 1990s, followed by Bruce Timm's animated Robin. The final version if mine.

Elvis Costello Centerfold

This piece was done to accompany an article in THE NEW YORK HANGOVER, I'm not normally in the habit of drawing naked pictures of Elvis Costello.... not that I don't love the guy, just not in that way....

Secret Country, Hard White Snow

This is the art for the new Secret Country Christmas single, "Hard White Snow!" You can git 'er here!

Gruß vom Krampus!

This is the cover to my 2010 Christmas compilation, GRUß VOM KRAMPUS! featuring the beloved Germanic holiday figure from the 19th century. Mayhaps you'd be inclined to check out the single I did with my girlfriend and some chums. Here's the link to the Jingleberries' CHRISTMAS VIDEO PARTY.

The Exorcist

The final ONE-SHEET REDUX post (for now, anyway), my take on one of my all-time favorite movies.

Night of the Living Dead (version 1)

Another ONE-SHEET REDUX, and (to be honest) my least favorite of my pieces for the show. I'm working on a second version, which is coming soon, but here's the first version.

Kitten with a Whip

ONE-SHEET REDUX post no. 5, this adapts (pretty literally, but I put Jody in jeans and added an actual cat in the background box) the poster for Ann-Margret's KITTEN WITH A WHIP, one of my favorite B-movies. See here for a little more information and buy the DVD here!

The Night of the Hunter

Another ONE-SHEET REDUX piece, a lobby card for Charles Laughton's noir masterpiece, NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. The film is finally getting the Criterion Collection treatment this month (the current DVD is a scratchy, cropped travesty). I was originally going to do three different lobby cards for this film, but again, time got away from me, like kids fleeing in a skiff from a mad preacher!

X: The Unheard Music

Another ONE-SHEET REDUX piece, THE UNHEARD MUSIC is an amazing 1986 documentary about one of the greatest bands of all time, Los Angeles' seminal artpunk group, X. I sent this to singer / bassist John Doe, and he passed it on to director W.T. Morgan and the rest of the band, and I'm happy to say that John said they hope to use this at some point...

The Dark Knight

Another piece done for ONE-SHEET REDUX, two different versions of a poster for THE DARK KNIGHT. Originally, I was planning to do a Saul Bass-style poster for a nonexistent 1950s Batman movie directed by Alfred Hitichcock. I was partially inspired by a 2003 internet hoax that claimed Orson Welles was planning to do a Batman movie in the 1940s, but I wanted to adapt a more stylized 50s aesthetic. But as I worked on the poster, it evolved (or de-evolved) into something else. No Saul Bass am I to be sure, but a simple, stylized DARK KNIGHT poster still felt like a good idea.

The second version is because after I'd finished the poster, my girlfriend said she much preferred it without the background images. I took them out and Dammit, she was right. But what the heck, here are both versions.

Barbarella

This is the first of nine pieces I'll be posting that I did for ONE-SHEET REDUX, a show of reinterpretations of movie posters hanging at Maxwell's in Hoboken NJ from November through January! C'mon out and take a gander!
