Sunday Soul Scream 2024

I had quite an undertaking recently with this year's Sunday Soul Scream advertising project but my hand miraculously lived to tell the tale. This isn't the first time we've done 2 illustrations (one main poster and one calendar poster) to help promote Jonathan Toubin's summer residency at Our Wicked Lady but this calendar poster was definitely the most intense due to the amount of acts Jonathan got for this summer's events. We had been toying around with the idea of using King Kong imagery for a few years and we finally did the damn thing and I'm happy with how we pulled it off. I especially love that we used a narrative to connect the 2 images, which we have never really done before.

Sunday Soul Scream is every summer Sunday (Memorial Day to Labor Day)

Our Wicked Lady

Pen & Ink Demo/Class

I'll be teaching a pen & ink class on Labor Day weekend at Touchstone Center for Crafts so I went out to the Laurel Highlands for their annual open house to do a little demo for guests while they were visiting the school. I had this old photo of Glenn Campbell that I really love and between the great light/dark contrast, he was bit older in the photo so I thought his wrinkles and folds in skin would be helpful for showing some different mark making techniques.

Always love to get out to this area of Pennsylvania to get some nature time with my friends out there. I've attached a link below to the class information and sign-up. We won't be working outside in my class but we'll still get to be in some beautiful surroundings while we work and the studio is looking pretty swanky these days. Did I mention it sits above a creek and you get to hear the sound of running water while you work? Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Engines & Transmissions

A couple illustrations for some merch for Engines & Transmissions, an auto body shop in Corning, NY. It's always a pleasure to help out with projects like this for businesses in my hometown. I'll be sure to post images of the finished products when they are available for purchase.
