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).

 

 

Please enjoy responsibly,

Artwork Before and After: Bandthology III Edition

 

As many of you already know King Bone Press's third installment of our music focus anthology Bandthology was released on Comixology this week. Those that do not own the print copy may not have noticed the small cover alterations that were made to the cover.  Comixology suggested that we remove some images from the cover and interior.  Luckily I was the artist that drew the cover to this particular issue so as co-publisher it was actually an easy fix. We did not have to contact anyone and I had all the files handy.

Here's a before and after shot of the cover.  As you can see a t-shirt and a poster have been altered.

All three volumes of Bandthology are available digitally via Comixology here.

Volumes 2 and 3 of Bandthology are available in print from King Bone Press here.

Volume 1 of Bandthology is currently out of print and it's all because of good people like you that supported us.

Boozehounds 1/25/2012 Guest Writer/Artist!

Boozehounds the punk rock version by the one and only Paul Wheels. I need to see more punk rock comics from my homeboy. This is great!!

Back to me for Friday's strip. Sorry guys. I for one like all the submissions more than my own strips. At least we're all having fun.
