REVIVAL ASHORE

The boys in REVIVAL ASHORE are currently recording their debut EP and it is going to be awesome! They are seriously amazing, and they have shared the stage with some great bands including Everytime I Die, House Vs Hurricane, 50 Lions, Deez Nuts, The Amity Affliction, Break Even, Mary Jane Kelly, Addison and many more. I have some great friends in the band and I am super excited about the EP, I am also excited about designing the album art, which so far is some of the best stuff I've ever done. So go check them out, and keep an eye out here for some updates on the artwork.

They also have a show coming up which everyone should go to. On the 28th March they are playing at Oasis Youth Centre, Wyong, alongside House Vs Hurricane, Ivoryline and a bunch of other bands. Tickets are only $20 so contact the boys via myspace and go!

JONNDAY - V FOR VICTORY

A few months ago the guys from Jonnday asked me to design the layout and packaging for their soon to be released EP "V For Victory". This was the first time I had accepted a job like this and was super nervous and not quite sure if I could deliver. After showing a few sketches and rough ideas we came up with a design we were both happy with. It was a cool job to work on and I'm really appreciative that they asked me to do the artwork.

It was a fair while ago now, but thought I'd put some of the work up.

DIRRTY HANDZ

On the 26th March I will be involved in the 5-man DIRTY HANDS exhibition at Blackbird Tattoo Gallery, Erina - on the Central Coast NSW. Info has not been released yet and I'm not even sure if I should be "blogging" about it but I am anyway.

There will be 4 other artists showing off their awesome talent - including tattoo design, crazy paintings, photography and graffiti.

Opening night is on the 26th, which is by super limited invite only, so let me know if you'd be interested in checking out some cool art and I may be able to get you on the door. Will be a really cool night.. All of our work will be available to buy, and the exhibition will be running until late April. So come check it out!

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

If I have any regrets so far in my life, it's the fact that I've waited this long to pick up some Indian ink and a paintbrush. For the last 4 or 5 years I've pretty much used nothing but pencils and fine tip pens. It wasn't til my good friend LDYCTZ pretty much forced a brush dipped in ink into my hand and told me to paint something up on the wall.. I'm in love.
