New edition of my DnD / Iron Maiden mashup shirt is up on my site. Now 96% cotton, all-over-print, and art on front and back! Link in bio, or from my website. As a kid I always thought the FIEND FOLIO and Iron Maiden’s KILLERS were super similar - so I made a painting of them jammed together!

I once again had the pleasure to work on album art with brothers in heaviness, @slomatics . This one was extra fun as we also experimented with vinyl colors and effects with @majesticmountainrecords in order to get a great match and total vinyl package. I wanted the guts to match the skin :) The fellas sent me the raw tracks months ago and I was amped to find inspo within the music. Like the past albums this is painted with watercolor, gouache, and ink. Go check out their new single at their IG or over on Bandcamp. #vinyl #vinylrecord #noaiart #watercolor #doom #heavymetal #metal #fuzz #meathead #dampedals

Hailing from Providence, RI and Salem, MA, duo @eyesofargusband is a collaboration between musician @ryanlesser (Megasus, Laurels, Guitar Hero, Rockband) and artist @samguayart (Magic the Gathering). Ryan plays fuzzed, down-tuned ugliness while Sam overlays dreamy vocals with magical lyrics. Honey’d Dreams sees them succeeding in the creation of “ugly/pretty” with this modern doom composition that has now received the vinyl treatment. Available this Friday, each copy features: * purple w/black smoke vinyl * gatefold jacket * pixie dust sticker * signed & numbered Riso prints This is a gorgeous package that allows both the art and music to shine! Please support the band directly at eyesofargus.bandcamp.com Special thanks to our friend @rattiincantati 💕

Just got my copy of “The Oral History of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and the Music Game Boom” by Blake Hester. Psyched to have been one of the contributors on what turned out to be a beautiful object. Also, love this quote by @danielbrat . Lots of great art by @_the_headlight_ @lots_in_space @since @matt_gilpin and more. Thanks for the copy @readonlymemorycom #kiss #Guitar hero #rockband #harmonix

The RPM Metal Fest last night rocked so hard, was so fun, and was a mighty volcano of thunder deep in the woods of Montague, that I will never forget, not miss ongoing. I’m a newbiw desert flower in the metal scene, but I have come to adore its people and the pure shared diversity, inclusiveness and the righteous joy it embraces while it shakes the earth. Thanks to @scottmfischer @ryanlesser & @pylons_ for letting me tag along on this magnificent adventure last night. (Pictured in order, @mares_of_thrace , Conan, @royalthunder , @witching_philly & Midnight) For those who are about to rock… the RPM Fest is happening now thru sunday. Treat yourself to the warmest and most righteous music community I’ve met in years.

✨️ All to please your Faerie Queen! ✨️ Super excited to share the vinyl for @eyesofargusband coming out this friday, April 18th, through @fiadhproductions ... The music and art was all done by @ryanlesser and myself. We collaborated on the cover art, Ryan did the interiors, and I did the label design. This was a dream project and it's so cool to hold this in my hands. #doom #fantasymetal #doommetal #vinyllove

Ben and Alyse reminded me this week that I never posted my work for RETURN TO DARK TOWER. Restoration Games hired me to make the monument minis for the Covenant expansion. These were super fun to make and the team was great to work with. Some were new sculpts and some were improvements on existing designs. Thanks to Ant for the assist and Jon Ritter-Roderick for the connect. #darktower #returntodarktower #boardgames #miniatures

Like many of you, I am giving Cara a shot. Between Meta’s announcement to scrape our images for AI, the downfall of their algorithm, and the general malaise I feel on this platform … it is time to move on. Please join me there to give it a shot at being a fresh way to share artwork with those that want to see it.
