Next three Pig Mammoth images

These are the next few illustration for the Pig Mammoths. The rest can be found here.

he music corresponds with a story about Todd's brother, Chad, falling asleep to awake in a reptilian world only to see Todd kidnapped by the "Pig Mammoths." The Pig Mammoths are evil creatures who hoard instruments. The rest of the story/album describes Chad's adventures in search of his brother through a new world with several interesting and horrifying creatures.

A comic adaptation of the Little Black Fish in the store!

The 50 page full color perfect bound book is available here. Sample pages can be found here.

This is a comic adaptation of a story by Iranian teacher and activist, Samad Behrangi.

To give you a short description of the story ... It is about a fish who unforgivably questions authority and is determined to learn through her own experiences. In the book, the little black fish embarks on a right of passage journey to find whether or not her friends' stories about the sea are true. During her travels, she is confronted by various animals who try to persuade her from continuing and some who threaten her very life. The story provides an important example of one's determination in seeking the truth.

New Work: Lessons On Legato

Designed this modest system for a guitar tutor in New York, NY. Legato is an Italian music term that means "tied together." The notation under the music notes of the logo indicates "legato." We played a lot with "LOL", but decided that it wasn't appropriate for the demographic that he was interested in attracting.

New Work: The Pig Mammoths

Here are the first three images for a music project being put together by musician, Todd Matthews. Each illustration will correspond to a song. There will be 10 total. I will post them all when the project is done.

The music corresponds with a story about Todd's brother, Chad, falling asleep to awake in a reptilian world only to see Todd kidnapped by the "Pig Mammoths." The Pig Mammoths are evil creatures who hoard instruments. The rest of the story/album describes Chad's adventures in search of his brother through a new world with several interesting and horrifying creatures.

New Work: &@$#!: An Exhibition of Comic Artists

I am currently working on this comic exhibition to be shown at Gallery5 in Richmond, VA. The logotype was illustrated by my co-organizer, Jared Cullum. The photography was done by Johanna Cullum. The rest of the system was done by myself. The exhibition parallels a 24 Hour Comics Day that we are also organizing. More info can be found on the official exhibition site here.

Artists are still being added and we are interviewing at least one artist per week.

New Work: VCU Department of African American Studies

Dr. Shawn Utsey approached me to do a t-shirt design that is now going to also be used on a DVD and invite. The design is gift to participants who were generous enough to discuss some of their experiences during the integration of schools. The design will be printed white on black t-shirts.

New Work: Amanda's 30th Posters

Below are a series of posters that I created for my wife's 30th birthday. The theme was Karaoke so it seemed appropriate to include some of the music that she was likely to sing.

Music Event and Fundraiser

Throughout the past 7 years, Gallery5 is proud to have hosted some of the best local music events in Richmond. Gallery5 would not be where it is without the bands that have graced our stage and we certainly look forward to what's in store for the future of our region’s music scene.

On Friday, June 29th we are excited to celebrate the music of our city at our summer fundraiser featuring a projected visual display of the hundreds of musical moments that are etched into our 7 year history. Local bands have also been generous enough to donate their CDs, Shirts, Stickers, and more for a door raffle. Also, have fun designing your own album cover with a silly photo-booth. And summer wouldn't be complete without a caricature artist.

Lastly, you can't have a local music night without live music. We are proud to present to our stage:
Classic Monkey Shine, The Greenhearts, and Goldrush!

As you know, Gallery5 is a non-profit arts organization that relies heavily on community support to keep our doors open. Our local music scene is one of the most vibrant in the nation and we thank you for continuing to make Gallery5 a hub for local music. Please mark your calendars for this night of celebrating our region's creative musical muscles. The proceeds from this evening will help keep Gallery5 as a dynamic performance venue for our area's music makers and beyond.
