On the Road Again

Weekend-road-tripped with @BenCardilli to Kingston and Toronto. We stayed at friend's places and woke up hours (HOURS) before everyone else. Knowing full-well this might happen, I packed pens and paper. So I decided to learn how to draw. These are my memories.

Thanks to the kind-hearted friends who put us up (and put up with us). 

Dead Branch

My band Luther Higgs was contacted by Dead Ranch to play a show on their Montreal tour date, but they never confirmed. The only "confirmation" I got was seeing a Facebook event of this show created by the bar we're playing at (times like these...). The event photo was a blurry/motion picture of us, so I decided to take it upon myself to make a poster for it.

I'm not crazy about how the skull turned out, and I have no eye for making appealing posters. It is what it is.

Luther Higgs is playing with Winnipeg's Dead Ranch and Montreal's DevydeaD this Thursday @ Piranha Bar. It'll be heavy, me thinks. See poster/Facebook event for details below.

There was something in the air that night...

Sycophantastic

 

Album art for Ben Cardilli's new EP Sycophantastic. A fun little project. My first foray into colouring. A rush job, but I am happy about how it turned out.

Use Your Illusion (number 2)

So, I'm not mature.

You know when you draw moustaches on people's faces on posters, or give celebrities makeup with a blue, red and black ball point pen? Or maybe you've heard about http://teenagemutantninjanoses.tumblr.com. Well my brother and I draw naked squatters shitting on cars, open fields, and people's heads. I drew this, framed it  and gave it to my brother for his birthday. He hasn't hung it up on his wall yet.

It's even better when we draw a little prairie dog peeking its head out.

Life Or Something Like it

In the midst of my not-so-happiness, I got the idea for this drawing and slowly hacked away at it. One of my only drawings that look complete. My eraser was used minimally, and I threw caution to the wind for this one, not caring too much about making lines straight or being consistent in the patterns. I also played with background colours, which I don't like in the least bit here, but I threw it on here anyways. I prefer black and white, though some kind of colour scheme would work well with this...

I do realize any words about my drawings are a bit sophomoric. I apologize for that.

Thanks for reading/looking.
