hey kids- if you don&#8217;t already know, every year since my senior year of college i&#8217;ve been asked to give a digital illustration demo to a class of UARTS illustration sophomores taught by the ever wonderful TOM LEONARD. since i only have about 3 hours for the demo and i&#8217;m trying to color and talk at the same time the time is spent more as a primer on some of the basics of how i use photoshop in my work. the pieces have always incorporated tom in some classic movie posters including dawn of the dead, falling down, and most recently re-animator. this was also the first year that i got to incorporate myself into the drawing. the title, quote, and credits were all created on the spot by the class and the piece was finished in my own time. it&#8217;s always a blast not only to draw something silly but to come in and lecture to the best of my ability. so long as i have something to teach the students i&#8217;ll be more than happy to come in year after year. enough fooling around, back to the serious stuff. more to come! &lt;3tFk!

hey kids- after much time and a ton of effort i&#8217;m now able to share with you the cover art for the new album from california&#8217;s DEATH VALLEY HIGH entitled POSITIVE EUTH, coming out on minus HEAD records. the art is a first for me in two ways: 1. the final illustrations were done start to finish on the computer (i&#8217;ve finally hopped the cintiq train), and 2. i didn&#8217;t do the layout, only the illustrations. since i wasn&#8217;t going to be handling the design of the album i took it as an opportunity to go a little overboard on the drawing and fit as much as i possibly could into the image. this is actually the most number of figures that i&#8217;ve included into one image and i certainly had a lot of fun giving each of them their own personality. i actually did three illustrations for this album but i&#8217;ll be holding off posting the other two until some time after the album is actually released. these guys were a blast to work for and i hope to do more for them in the future. be sure to pick up positive euth on june 25th. until then, more to come! &lt;3tFk!

hey kids- a couple of weeks ago i had the distinct pleasure of hanging out with JUSTIN J JACKSON, the film maker behind the upcoming ROSETTA documentary. after the poster for their southeast tour hit the internet justin got in touch with me asking if he could tag along to record the process of me screen printing the posters as well as get my thoughts on the medium and other related topics. during our time together he took some still photos as well, including the one above. this is probably the most sane i looked throughout the day. after all the screaming, crying, and cursing of strangers and their loved ones we&#8217;ll see how much of this makes it into the final cut. be sure to check out HIS WEBSITE for other updates on the documentary as well as his other works. justin is an awesome dude and deserves awesome attention. more to come! &lt;3tFk!

hey kids- last year i did six illustrations for the FEDERAL FILM RESERVE, a philly based film company whose members i&#8217;ve been friends with for many years. i was asked to draw six images from a script of theirs for a movie entitled &#8220;BLACK TIE AFFAIR&#8221; to construct an animated trailer to generate interest for the film. after some time the trailer is up and ready for online consumption, as well as the explanation for the concept and history of the progress of the film. the animation was handled by geoff morris, another philly local. be sure to check out director louis mansfield&#8217;s blog for this entry as well as other on going projects that they have. it&#8217;s a really interesting and personal look into what goes into independent film making. more to come! &lt;3tFk!
