CURSIVE - I AM GEMINI

[Your Name Here] — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 08:31:42 +0000

For the last couple of months I’ve been working with, Omaha based band, Cursive. I had the pleasure of creating the artwork for their upcoming album “I Am Gemini”... which was released on February 21st. I have illustrated the album artwork, liner note images, new t-shirt designs and the U.S. tour poster! All of these products are available for purchase at Saddle Creek Records. Cursive tour and ticket information can be found at www.cursivearmy.com. It has been a great experience, and a real honor working with this band...they are super great people!

I Am Gemini is the surreal and powerful musical tale of Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers separated at birth. One good and one evil, their unexpected reunion in a house that is not a home ignites a classic struggle for the soul, played out with a cast of supporting characters that includes a chorus of angels and devils, and twin sisters conjoined at the head. - from Saddle Creek

ACC 2012 was a huge success. Thousands of attendees and hundreds of exhibitors had a great time at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. There was a wide range of vendors, artists, events and celebrities in all comic, horror, sci-fi and anime genres. This event seems to be getting bigger and bigger... which is awesome for Albuquerque!

Our booth did very well this year. We sold lots of posters and t-shirts...and got to visit with local fans, actors and cosplayers!

We're already locked in, and will have a table in Artist Alley at ACE 2012... this summer at the ABQ Convention Center. It's in June, so I better get busy!

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

[Your Name Here] — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:06:32 +0000

On October 30th, I participated in the Dia de los Muertos celebration at the South Broadway Cutural Center. The event was a mixture of art, live music, children's activities, food, vendors and most imporatntly... culture. There were well over 1,000 visitors that attended the gallery reception this year!

I was proud to hang my serigraph print (seen above) next to the work of such great local artists... including my very talented friends Jeremy Montoya, Albert Vasquez, John Bicknell and Lisa Rossignol.

Jeremy and I had a booth in the vendor area. We each designed and screen printed limited edition event posters. Along with the posters, we sold our new Muerto t-shirts and postcards...

We were also asked to participate in the juried alter contest. We created little muerto characters on wood blanks, using acrylic/mixed media... and dressed up our alter with screen printed streamers, flowers and art prints...

To our surprise... the Mexican Consulate of Albuquerque chose our alter for one of three awards given. Along with our award for "mas original alter" we received loaves of freshly baked pan dulce... delicious!!
