DEMONIK! GROTESK! DRESDEN!

I'm thrilled to announce my first solo overseas exhibit at KNARK-ART GALLERY in Dresden, Germany! If all goes as planned I'll be riding in from Wacken Fest just in time to attend the Opening Reception on Sunday August 3rd! If you live on that side of the world, I hope you'll come out on August 3rd and join me as we raise the dead in Deutschland!!!!

The X-Files and Monster's INK Release Party!

I have some drawings on display this week at Portland's Olympic Mills Gallery to celebrate the release of the new X-Files movie!

They're planning a motherfuckin' sci-fi blowout complete with booze, bands, & art so don't miss this event:

A lot of people think I only draw skulls and maggots. Well, this little gem from the vaults will prove that theory wrong. Barfly was a glossy local magazine that covered everything related to...well, drinking and "bar culture". I'm not sure if it's still around but a few years ago they had a great design editor who commissioned me to draw covers when the theme seemed appropriate. I ended up doing 4 covers with themes such as "revenge", "insanity", and "decline of civilization". This is the one I did for their "true confessions" issue. The best part of this short-lived project was that the design editor would call me with a theme around 5pm and I would bang something out in a matter of hours and have it on their desk the following day. They never told me what to draw or saw rough sketches. It was a fun exercise and in the morning I would turn in something like this...

ACHTUNG DEUTSCHLAND!

Brothers & Sisters of Europa! In two weeks I'll be boarding a plane bound for Amsterdam and crossing into Germany to experience Wacken Fest 2008! I can't express how fucking stoked I am about this trip! Needless to say, I look forward to banging my head in Deutschland very soon. "Einigkeit und Bier und Schwermetall!"
