So what’s with the sale?
Uhhh...The cost of moving across the country is going to kick my ass.

I don't plan on selling any more artwork for a looong time or until the rats in New York eat my fingers off. All you folks that emailed me about buying some originals or commissioning me - this is your chance.  That's it!

Expect to see zombies, skulls, girls and random whatnots.  If humanly possible I will include a copy of the poster/thing that the art was originally used for.

What you see is what's for sale.  Please DO NOT inquire about a piece that's not listed.
I’m pulling everything after 9/14/08.  Orders will ship after that.

To see the full list with prices go HERE

I rarely sell original art.  I’m weird.  I keep the work around for reference in case I need to remember how to do a certain technique or what a skull looks like.  (Stupid A.D.D.!)  Or I’ll get lost in the brain fart of having an art show displaying the originals in something other than a merch booth or a coffee shop.

• The artwork is not framed.  I can’t cut a mat to save my life.
• Most of the artwork was done on Strathmore bristol board.  It is acid-free and archival.  So is the ink.
• The dimensions listed define the size of the bristol board the artwork is on.  Feel free to trim the board to make framing easier.
• All artwork will be insured (with tracking) and shipped flat.
• International orders please inquire about insurance.
• Sale of the art doesn’t mean you can publish or make editions of the art.
• Black and white artwork goes well with any couch/sofa or sleeper bed.  It helps tie the room together.

Paypal and credit cards (through paypal) accepted.
Email me asap with any questions or to see larger pics of the art.

Thanks for your patronage!!!!

Brian

Dude that is some awesome stuff. If I had some bucks I'd help you out. I moved from Queens out to Washington state so I feel your pain. Looking at your stuff makes me want to work harder. I love your inking. Just the control that you have is really inspiring.

I'm a nerd. I have a mental list of artists that really inspire me and make me want to reach their level of quality and creativity. I've got a long way to go but I at least see myself improving every project.

Sometimes folks just need to step back from a piece and look at it differently. Look for what's wrong and decide if you can make the necessary changes. Also show your work to other artists that you know. If they give you feedback, listen to it.

I used to think if I only had the right brush or paper or computer I'd be a better artist. None of that really helped. It was the constant drawing that made me improve.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, actually I know what I have to do to get better: Draw more and keep my eyes open. My comment to you was basically me saying that you are on MY list. I think that as an artist you should look at what everyone is doing, just so that you know where you are at. The artists that inspire you, the artists that you feel are at the same level as you and the artists who aren't at your level.

You are one of those guys that makes me work harder ! I think that you are right up there with Coop, I remember at the Giant Robot show that your prints were on an other level. Face it you are awesome.

But having said all of that sometimes the right paper and brush really does help. Ever draw on cheap bristol ?

I hope to do some more stuff with the GR gallery. It's a nice space. I'm going to be in a group show at Toy Tokyo at the end of the month. I'm framing stuff right now.

Coop's got a few years on me. Super nice guy and well-read. Check out his blog. Good reading.

I just use my influences to help me solve visual problems. Coop for example. I had to draw a guitar for a poster and wasn't sure how detailed it should be. So I checked out how he did it. I didn't redraw one of his guitars, instead I took cues on how much info to put into the knobs or the fret board. Or if I should draw the strings or just do that in illustrator.
