DEFTONES Poster

Poster for the Deftones

18"x24"
Screen Print
Edition of 150
Signed & Numbered
More info HERE

I really pushed myself on this project with setting up the colors for printing. There is a lot of over-printing on this one as well as experimenting with texture. Plus owls aren't that easy to draw! Jush shayin'...
Some printers shy away from jobs like this because the project demands extra care when mixing the colors and printing. My printer killed it on this job. And by "killed" I mean he went above and beyond with the printing and color matching. And when I say "stupid" I mean "stupid fresh".

This was inspired by their song "Minerva" and the album art for their latest release "Diamond Eyes". Minerva was the virgin goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic. She is often depicted with her sacred creature, an owl, which symbolizes her ties to wisdom. The owl is chewing on a rat that is biting down on a banner that reads "cuando el cofre se sacude y la aguja se parte vienen con migo rápidamente." There's a 20% DISCOUNT for any of you scholars that can translate it and figure out which Deftones song it's from. (Just type in the song title in the promo code box when placing your order.) The snake is there because I wanted to draw a snake - transforming from a tattoo into the real thing. And I drew the girl with the side of her head shaved cuz ladies like that make me swoon. A boy can dream, right?

Check out the photos of the actual print to see what I'm talking about.

New LOVECRAFT Print

I’m stoked to announce my new giclee print “DREAM OF THE ELDER GODS”. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and done completely in pencil - conjuring up all the cosmic radness of the deities from space who once ruled the Earth and who have since fallen into a death-like sleep.

Giclee print
5”x7” in an 8”x10” frame
On German Etch Watercolor Paper (it’s sexy)
