BAND GEEK MAFIA

The Band Geek Mafia are a great ska/punk band from Germany and their record label, Long Beach Records Europe, asked me to do their latest EP cover work and promotional items to go along with it. Check out the band’s website at http://thebandgeekmafia.de.

METAL HAMMER AWARDS ’13

Metal Hammer in Germany had their annual award show recently with bands such as Metallica and Motorhead making appearances and bands such as Kreator and Powerwolf playing live and I was once again asked by Metal Hammer to provide the logo and poster for the event.
Their request for the art was a little different to what I would have expected to do for Metal Hammer Award Show but they seemed happy with the final product and that’s all that matters.

FAN EXPO 2013

Just wanted to give a huge thanks to Dave Alexander, Paige Reynolds, Gary Pullin, Angus Buyers and everyone who came out to the “If they came from within: an alternative history of Canadian Horror” panel that was held at this year’s Fan Expo / Festival of Fear event.
Had a great response to my poster which I was very surprised with and really appreciated the positive feedback. It was not an easy task doing a poster for THE Brandon Cronenberg, and being along side such talented artists as mentioned above was a definite honor!

200 ALTERNATIVE HORROR FILMS

Another production I had the pleasure of working on at Rue Morgue was the first in a line of many to come books that Rue Morgue will be releasing.
This first one is a 164 page book on “200 Alternative Horror Films You Need To See”. Every publication out there gives you their top 10 or 20 horror movies to watch and they are all the same, although great, predictable movies. This publication has a great selection of movies you have never heard of, or heard of, but never thought of watching.

Stoked to have been apart of it and trust me, it is worth every sent you spend on it.
Look for it in most good book stores and online HERE.

ROCKABILLY IN TORONTO

As you can see from the date, I finished this poster a while back for Eddie Clendening and Dominion On Queen, but forgot to post it up on the site.

So here it is…

UNSEEN HERO

Here’s a look at the brand new CD cover design and illustration I did for the band Unseen Hero.

HAUNTED HOUSE CREATIONS

As promised in my previous post, here’s what I have been working on over the past couple of weeks.

Haunted House Creations is a haunted house prop and special effects shop based in Toronto that specializes in the creation of pretty much anything you would find in your favorite haunted house. From zombies to bats, prisoners being electrocuted to an obese chef swaying with a plate of brain food. There’s nothing they can’t do, and at a quality you won’t believe.

They asked me to design a new look and feel for the company with a new logo, business cards and tees for their re-launch at the ScareFest convention that happened this past weekend. I was more than happy to oblige and below is the final outcome of the weeks of work.
Enjoy.

BLAME BETTY

The great folks at Blame Betty in Calgary asked me to redesign their brand identity with some new logos to be used on the online marketing, and store windows etc.
They wanted to keep the font they had already been using but needed a new, fresh “pazzaz” on the original design.
I had a blast doing it and if you’re ever in Calgary make sure you pop in to their store and get yourself some fine threads.

DO IDEAS

The brilliant folks at 21 Tanks asked me design the cover of their new e-book entitled “Do Ideas” a while back, and it was finally launched on Friday.

Do yourself a favor and download this book. Visit the link HERE. It will cost you nothing (that’s right, it’s free) and it will be one of the best reads you’ve ever had.

If you’ve ever had an idea or a thought to do something and just never get around to doing it, then give this book a read and it might just be the kickstart you needed. A truly inspiring book with some great words of advice and wisdom from people that are involved with entertainment, banking, media, engineering and all walks of life.
