better late than never, haha.How the blogs chill…
So I havn’t updated this thing properly… ever, Haha. But the reason for the lack of posts over the past few months is that I have relocated to the North of France for a year or so. Finally settled in and back at the drawing board, got lots of cool things to share soon so keep an eye out. Add me on facebook for updates on what’s happening here.
A bientot.
The Sun Has Set…
Some limited edition digital prints are available in my store, the artwork was used for my band Iron Mind’s EP titled ‘The Sun Has Set’.
The prints turned out really good, for once I am 100% happy with something, haha. They were printed by master printer Brian Gilkes at Pharos Edition using a 10 color process on museum quality acid free arches cotton rag. Complete with Pharos Edition embossing.
Limited to 25, hand numbered and signed. Click on the store button to purchase!

Ghostshrimp
Here’s an excerpt from an interview with one of my favorite illustrators Ghostshrimp, found at the great art/design blog Lost At E Minor. He’s talking about his artistic background/creative process and as wacky as it sounds it makes perfect sense. Thought I’d share.
“Mostly though, the way I understand drawing is like a large wheel turning slowly in deep space. And drawing is the only thing I understand about life. The rest is all heavy breathing underwater. I have to constantly set myself on secret missions. Also I must be wrapped in specific disguises. And the wheel works like this: m.c. Escher, for example, makes a bunch of drawings a thousand years ago. He dies of stage four fetal albatross syndrome. I am born in 1980. I smoke Newport cigarettes for three months in high school. I see the m.c. Escher drawings. Now this is where it gets magical: all the focus and creative energy he poured into that drawing is transferred to me. Inspiration travels through osmosis. Ask a doctor. Then my brain is severely infected with inspiration. Visions flood my tiny towns. My wiring is running hot. Full capacity. Now I have no choice but to put that down on paper. I draw a bunch of drawings. And the wheel rotates silently forever in deep space.”
