Record cover in progress

I’ve been going strong on this all day.. and I’ll be back at it all day tomorrow. I’m really excited about it — I’m using papel picado, the Mexican form of paper cutting, as my main inspiration.

I finished this up and sent the image off to Lantern Journal for use on their cover. I believe the issue comes out around March 20, and there will be a small article about my work inside.






8 x 10 inch paper cutting. Auctioned off last night at the Monster Drawing Rally. I added color at home before I went and then finished cutting it and gluing it to the background at the event.


The drawing rally was tons of fun. Thanks so much to all you folks that came out!

Here’s what I’ll be cutting out at tonight’s Monster Drawing Rally in Kansas City.. Check this link for more details: http://www.facebook.com/events/121228168056838/

Putting a spring theme to it as I wait out the next round of blizzard headed this way.. I kind of like being snowed in. Except I dug out yesterday to restock Phoenix Gallery and hit up the record store. Needed some new (well, used actually) records to stay warm. Til next time..

(I just finished reading Hesse’s “Demian” last week — adding it to my list of favorite books of all time. It was pretty amazing.)

I designed & cut this for their website & other promo items. I’ll post links shortly.
