Admiral Browning Sandwich Hot Rod poster

My boys in Admiral Browning hit me up with a great idea for a poster... again! Here's some of what they messaged me with:

"The giant sandwich idea:
The vision is a hot-rod sandwich with a spider driving. Like a piece of Big Daddy Roth hot-rod art where the car is an awesome delicious sandwich with huge racing slicks, doing a burnout."

So there you have it, with some elbow grease and alot of research I made this poster, diggit:

True Templar of Doom benefit show poster

I saw the Gates of Slumber a bunch of times, maybe in Washington DC where I used to live, definitely in LA where I live now and in Vegas once. They were always on the road and always down to play a show it seems. It was a shock when their bassist Jason McCash left the band a couple years ago but an even bigger shock when he passed a couple months ago: some bands and even musicians you take for granted and think will be around forever.

A friend from the Maryland music scene is organizing a benefit show for the family of Jason and asked me to do the poster. Check out the event:

True Templar of Doom: Benefit for Jason McCash

Tickets can be purchase here

I'm all for the benefit and show and would love to be there in person, one of my favorite Doom bands Earthride is playing their first show in months, a year? either way they're legit, just like the Gates of Slumber and Jason.

If you'd like to donate directly to his family click here!

Onto the art: I decide to hand draw everything and keep it black and white to be as Doom as I can get & to be able to donate the finished art to the cause. Hand lettering is my weakness and I ended up redoing the text in Photoshop, you can see the finished drawn poster with original lettering in the 2nd pic below:

Days of the Doomed Fest 4 poster

I've been lucky enough to have one of the nicest promoters in the "biz" ask me to do his Doom festivals poster for the last 4 years, Mercyful Mike Smith is a solid dude, check him out at https://www.facebook.com/mercyfulmikemp and the fest at www.daysofthedoomed.com/‎. I love working with him and what he's doing in the upper midwest to help an underground scene.
