Activity Adventure Quest (show/mishap)

Last week I payed the price of having a messy desk. I was scanning a drawing when the paper tray on my printer flipped down and knocked over a bottle of water onto my computer and a can of coke onto my Charles Manson Maze. Luckily the little rubber keyboard guard saved my computer's life, but the Charles Manson Maze wasn't so lucky. The little instruction card got completely ruined, and the maze itself has a brown stain on it. Looking at it now that its dry and flattened it doesn't look too bad. The coke completely missed the paint and ink. It's a watercolor painting, so I don't really need to say how bad it could have been. I think it'll be OK, plus I already scanned it, so it'll look fine in the Activity Adventure Quest book.

That reminds me! If you live in the Phoenix area you should come down to the Trunk Space on Friday for the book release party. I'll be there, and you can look for the brown stain on my painting!

Tattoos

Tattoos are very personal for a lot of people, so that's why I was extremely honored when two of my friends asked me to design tattoos for them. Here are the pictures I made...

Tiffany's tattoo design:




















Jayme's tattoo design:




















I just sent Jayme's design to him yesterday, but Tiffany's is 100% done...

I was really nervous about how it was gonna turn out, but
Tiffany's tattoo artist, Sam Mcwilliams, did an amazing job.

Tiffany and Jayme are both incredible artists, and you can check out their work by clicking on their names.

Album Covers!?!

At the moment (well, not this exact moment) I'm working away at finishing up some art for a couple bands: iji, and Math The Band. Other than making FANTASTIC music, both bands are made up of equally great people, so its an honor to work with them.

I'm still putting the final touches on both album covers, but just a few days ago I finished the cover for Math The Bands' "Tour de Friends" EP, and I thought I'd share it here...
