It's a gory summer.
Well, it's certainly a gory year for this death metal artist. Between my Oceano artwork , the T-shirt I am designing for Cattle Decapitation, and a couple of other things coming up later in the year, I am painting a lot of red stuff these days. There's something very zen-like about painting shiny intestines and slimy, pus-filled blisters. Seeing as it was my last post, I'm sure you've seen my first piece of Oceano artwork, but now Oceano has a new myspace layout that features the artwork in massive high detail! Be sure to check it out, drop them a comment, and go check them out if they are heading to a show date near you.
As for that Cattle Decapitation T-shirt, I'm not quite finished with it yet, but it's already pretty sick. If you follow them at all, you know they have some pretty twisted lyrics and naturally I referred to them to come up with something really brutal. Check back soon for that!
Stay bloody!

I love your work, very dark and inspirational.
The paints where humans are assimiliated with robotic parts, reminds me disturbing scenes from quake 4 game where i saw just torsos of humans used as sort of ventilation on the wall or other machine like parts in the base of cyborg alien race Strogg.
Thanks, Tom!
Actually, it's funny that you mention Quake 4...when I was originally asked to do those paintings, the band's concept included Quake and Doom as reference for the visual style they were looking for. Sort of a cross between those games and HR Giger, so it's good to know that translated well!
Thanks for visiting my site, I appreciate the compliments greatly!
