CHLORINE NIGHTS READY!!!

Finally, it has seemed like I have been working on this book for 4 years now...going through printing issues, price dilemmas, miscommunications. However, it is now complete and ready for purchasing. For those of you who do not know, Chlorine Nights is essentially a visual interpretation of depression complete with illustration, photography, collage, and a bit of writing. My goal was to reach out and express something that is nearly impossible to express. The feelings, emotions, and helplessness of depression can seem so fucking overwhelming at times that I feel it is only necessary to try and create a body of work that people can relate to.

Chlorine Nights comes shipped in a 100% recycled envelope with a "CN" stencil stamped across the front. The front and back cover are printed on a white 80lb cover paper while the pages are completely black and printed on 80lb text paper. The entire book is 8x10" and full color. Get your copy here:

A taste of things to come...

It has been a couple weeks since I have updated this site with any new work, however that does not mean I haven't been doing any! School and other commissions have bogged me down so heavily to the point where its hard to archive each new piece and put it up on here. However, I feel its only fair to exhibit a preview of some of the new shit I have been working on. Most of these pieces cannot be unveiled until April do to many of them still being a work in progress but I would like to share some samples with you guys. Some are independent works and some are commissions.

I will post the finished material very soon...





















Hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for more news very soon!

Black Cloud...

I have been asked by Dusty Neal to participate in a collaborative art zine, Black Cloud, featuring more than 25 awesome artists. The cover of this book will be in color while its pages remain a potent black and white. Each artist is to submit about 2-3 spreads (4-6 pgs) of artwork to this 6x9" collaboration and so far I cannot wait to see this in print. Some of the artists include Give up., Eric Tarr, Nathan Abels, Aaron Minier, Patrick Taylor, Dusty Neal, Ryan Pickard, Nate Click, Dan Eells, Nick Fabini, and so many more!

Keep your eyes peeled for updates about this zine.
Here is a mock-up image of what the cover will resemble (w/ new photography)...made by Dusty from Sistine Press:



GET STOKED.
Hopefully we will see a bunch of progress by middle-may.
