Big thanks to @mrwheelerrr and the Eric Church team for working with me on this… and offering something different for fans. It was a pleasure. —Anonymous

Often times I’ll pick the smallest, most challenging part of a project and attack it first. ✍️ In this case, I decided to start with this violin that’s less than a half inch wide. I think it turned out okay.😪

About 20 months ago, I was asked to create a piece of artwork to coincide with the release of Eric Church’s Evangeline vs. the Machine.
Here’s a rare behind-the-scenes look at me walking the client through the idea before committing ink to paper. I’ll share a few more images over the next few days so those of you unfamiliar can see how it turned out.
Would love it if Eric Church fans who got a copy of this final artwork could comment!

In case some of you thought I had forgotten my heavy metal roots. This is a hand-drawn commemorative poster for this weekend’s Crush the Coast fest in Corpus Christi. Thanks to Anthony at @comeandtakeitproductions for putting this together.

a fortnight dead.
forgot the cry of gulls
and the deep sea swell
and the profit and loss
a current under sea
picked his bones in whispers
as he rose and fell
he passed the stages of his age and youth
entering the whirlpool
you who turn the wheel and look to windward…
“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything —what a waste.”
