This is an older painting I did. I heard this song and thought the mood and lyrics resonated with what this painting was trying to convey. Which is to say we are animals of our environment.

El Submarino
Good friend and former bandmate, Pete, came to me about making some artwork to go with a collection of new songs he wrote and produced. I love working on passion projects with people! There’s less pressure of a looming deadline and typically there’s more room to explore creative directions. Pete did have a concept for the cover art which helps during the exploration phase of brainstorming. The final version combines Pete’s concept mixing with abstract doodling landscapes that I had been exploring for a while. The original artwork was done with ink and colored pencil on mixed media paper. I then scanned the artwork and created a few color variations in Photoshop for Pete to choose from. While we were communicating back and forth, he also mentioned the idea of creating a logo for his music – challenge accepted! I don’t say no to too many requests:) Check out Pete’s music HERE.
God of wine
Dionysus was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts. He created wine and spread the art of viticulture. He had a dual nature; on one hand, he brought joy and divine ecstasy; or he would bring brutal and blinding rage, thus reflecting the dual nature of wine. He was depicted as either an older, bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone tipped staff), a drinking cup and a crown of ivy. He was usually accompanied by a troop of Satyrs and Mainades (wild female devotees).
Really enjoyed working on this wine label for Geneva Winery. Was happy with the final version.

The Inappropriate drummer
Good friend, bandmate, drummer extraordinaire, Lee Diamond asked me to create an image of him beating the drums for his latest project – swapping out the drumming of his favorite songs and replacing them with heavy metal drumming. I had just recently began exploring After Effects and this was a perfect project to help a friend and learn along the way. He was happy with the final product, and I enjoy following my friend’s latest endeavors on his YouTube channel. Check him out here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2VTRW2bG9Q
