Blindsided From Out Of The Blue

After another sensational, packed to capacity show this weekend, I awoke to yet another hate-filled diatribe message.
Completely hit me from out of the blue. Turns out I am the target of his hate. Why? Perhaps I'm an easy target.
Perhaps it's jealousy over the end results of a life-time of decisions ... where mine lead to, where his lead to, and the situations we now find ourselves in.
It's painful ... but, you ever been hit so hard that you're just numb?
I don't feel like I have the energy to even be mad.
Disappointed that we are at this juncture yet again.
Weary of the fight.


What a time to turn your back on someone
What a day to be without a friend
What a shame when no-one seems to bother
Who will offer shelter to candles in the wind
And it’s said that life is like a ladder
Just a dream we’re reaching for the stars
Can’t you see how little really matters
We are only searching for what we really are

New website, new booking agent & new venues. Things are going good for the band.

As the title says, we have a new website for the band,  Yard Sale Underwear , we are working with booking agent Curt Wiser, of Wiser productions, and have many new and exciting performances slated for 2012. Here we are, barely in March and the band is booked through August for the most part.
We recently performed at Bike Time's Winter Bash with Delilah DeWylde and the Lost Boys as an opener.What a hoot! The place was packed & the dance floor was jumpin'!
I recently designed our latest T-shirts which are currently on order & should arrive any day now.
Here's a peek at the artwork.

Just for fun I designed a couple of fictitious mock-up album covers. Not sure what we'll do with them, maybe they'll turn into promotional posters for some special shows down the road?

The Jokester album, based off of KISS Destroyer

and Die Nasty based off of KISS Dynasty

Note: The Y.S.U. logo in the KISS font!

Operation Freedom

This particular illustration has been updated and reworked from it's original inception.
As my technique and skill improves, I find that I have begun to develop my own style.

The Complexity of Man

Photoshop project for GR270

The idea behind this project is that each and every one of us is so much
more complex than the outward appearance we display, and the initial
first-impression label that people may be quick to tag us with.
Man is not a singular entity, but rather a sum of his parts. That behind every face lies a vast, unique combination of life’s experiences, fears, joys, loves, disappointments, ideas, knowledge, beliefs, and all such things that make up a lifetime.

Welcome to the other end of the internet!

This is my all new blog. I will be updating this page frequently with artwork and trivial nuggets of knowledge.
