Keyboard Girl

Here's a commission I finished not too long ago for a music production studio. They wanted an original pin-up that involved a vintage keyboard synthesizer; beyond that I was given free reign. Luckily I enjoy drawing pin-ups and love the design of vintage electronics (a weird interest, I know, but us designers can find visual interest just about anywhere.)

I'm really happy with the finished result. I did some research on keyboard synthesizers and tried to stay authentic while still playing around with it here and there to give it a fun design.

Tom Waits

I just recently got into Tom Waits' stuff, thanks to Spotify, and didn't want to waste any time drawing him. The music is so eclectic, you can't help but totally dig it. Plus, his features are so drawable and fun.

I also really enjoyed cutting up these different pieces of sand paper for the musical notes.

I.G.O.R. MNKNK

(www.germanorozco.com)

 This is the cover art for I.G.O.R. and their album MNKNK. Which by the way is AMAZING and you should get it right now. I mean it, it's always great to have the opportunity to produce fun, interesting art, but when it's backed up by incredible talent like these guys you feel like you just hit the jackpot. So thanks go to Mauricio Hernandez & Victor de la Garza for trusting me with this awesome task and for making such inspiring music.

The idea was basically space mission gone wrong, with the detail of  Manekineko, the japenese (chinese (?)) lucky cat as a symbol of the failed amulet.

Trace Cherokee Logo

On the 29th of this month country music legend and Seth Martin & Friends star Trace Cherokee will be performing live at the V Club in Huntington, opening for bluegrass band The Good Ol' Boys and a Girl.

Trace won't perform on just any dingy old stage, so we're in the process of building him some set pieces, including a large version of this logo I designed. Trace has sort of been the breakout star of our SMaF show and I am incredibly excited that he'll actually be going on in front of a live audience.

For a taste of his music, you can check out this YouTube clip of Trace and the Stenders performing "Mountain Woman" on local talk show Up Late.

I've been told that Trace has been writing and practicing for some time now and I can't wait. I mean, when was the last time you walked into a bar and saw a puppet on stage?

You can check out Trace's Twitter here...

and the Facebook event for the show on the 29th is here.
