i met my hubbahubba in college. he tried valiantly to teach me how to play guitar. i gave up because it was much nicer to listen to him play than to play myself. through the years we’ve been together he’s played in a band called monsters are not myths. the band gave me some of my first chances to create art that left my sketchbook and was seen by others… my art became flyers, posters and album covers. his music and band chartered many firsts, and as the band is playing their last show, i drew this for him & them.

thank you for all the inspiration.

(and, if you’re in san francisco, join me at their last show tomorrow night)

a super fun design for monsters are not myths. if you’re in LA, SLO or Monterey, they’ll be heading your way this weekend – check ‘em out!

for monsters are not myths’ show in santa cruz.

poster for monsters are not myths’ show in hollywood!

i taught myself some neat posterization and vintage techniques with this. it was my first “yay i have a wacom” feeling when i had to cut the band members out of a photo… its so much harder with a mouse.
