Hardcore Days

Back in the day I was in a couple of hardcore bands; Deciding Factor and Egotrip. Both with lifelong friend and guitarist Rick and a few good friends. Looking up zine, flyer, band merch artwork in my boxes of original art and digital files I decided to release all the Egotrip recordings. I packaged them with original artwork from the time. The EP was part of a split CD so I repurposed flyer artwork for the cover. A buck for each demo or EP. There ain't no profit in it, it just pays for the online storage.

Yeah, I'm being a bit reminiscent today, but some of my favorite memories are from these days. Great shows, great music, great friends. Check it out if you're so inclined.

 

You can buy the music along with art, prints, buttons and other junk at my store here.

Hardcore Days

 

A while back I was in a hardcore band. That one didn't pan out as is usually the case with hxc bands of the time, so another band was formed. Nothing groundbreaking or interesting there. We had some great shows, we had some less than stellar shows. What was cool was creating content for our websites, and hxc zines, and flyers. Here's a few comics and comic style illustration that I did for the band and a couple of zines. The two color illos were recolored by me this week. A couple of these were posted as full color or printed in black and white.

 

 

I'll post more of this type of work as I find it and scan it. It'll be under the title of Hardcore Days but not all of these are going to be hxc scene inspired. Some illustrations and logos were done for pop punk bands or death metal bands. Some of it I'm not too proud of but it is a part of my life and it's fun to revisit the old days.

 

 

Hope you had fun with this trip down memory lane as well. New b-one comic magazine is underway. Look for new b-one FUNZIES web comics next week (if all goes according to plan).

Here's our output to date, it's been a crazy few years. It's shocking to me that something that I did in my spare time has continued to grow. With Jon Westhoff taking charge and getting the 11 O'clock Comics Anthologies going and bringing in new people to work with in projects such as Bandthology, there's no way we're stopping anytime soon! Jon wrangles in the talent for our anthologies while I get to focus on b-one. We're a good team.

We have a TON of stuff planned, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Plus Jon started his new webcomic here: The World's Strongest Mailman

Bandthology Previews

Hello all. Just in case you didn't already know I am working on a story for the upcoming Banthology comic book anthology. I'm working with my usual writing partner Jon Westhoff and a few other suspect individuals! (some which may have made appearances on Boozehounds as writers and artists).

The reason that I'm writing this is that we as a group need to fund the book before publishing it. We are about halfway to our goal. If you want to preorder and take advantage of our various incentives plese check our chip in here. (it's a similar model to kickstarter campaigns)

The Bandthology blog is here.

Thanks a bunch we appreciate it. We hope that you'll have as much fun reading our book as we had making it!
