Here’s a cover I did for Leatherbal’s new single. Kind of a rough older illustration, but it fits with their ofttimes comic-booky aesthetic. I actually drew it like six years ago at night in a Disney World hotel.

This is the best idea ever! A Sci-Fi Airshow. Featuring vehicles from Battlestar Galactica, Space: 2009, Land of the Giants, 2001, and several others, large and in person. Check out the site here.

Finally, after what feels like decades of being whipped and chained within the dungeon confines of Lazër Castle™, our Lazër CD art is ready to see the light of day. These are some of the most extensive vector illustrations I’ve done to date, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out.

“Word” on “the street” is that the album will “drop” in August. It’s good, it’s hilarious, I’ve heard it, and you should buy it. Oh, and yes, it’s called Twatobahn. Don’t blame me.

This is art. Incredible. By Rich Kelly. Available at mondotees (while they last.) I bought one.

So I got Adobe CS5 this week, and I’m super-excited. After spending several hours customizing all the menus in Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (I’ll do the rest later, but those are my daily-use programs) in the way I prefer them for my dual-screen setup, I took the screenshots below for fun. Just in case anyone was interested in dual-screening it up, what CS5 looks like, and/or how I like to work.

Note that on the main (right half) screens below, I often have several different image windows opened up that I am working on, which I switch back and forth to, unlike the single image filling the screen like in the screenshots (although I do that at times as well.)

I’m not sure if I’m sold on the new mini-Bridge in Photoshop, so I may be tweaking that eventually. I probably prefer still just using Finder for organization, especially since it can sort/label in a multitude of ways, is easier to navigate, and is just as easy to preview. But damn if I don’t love the idea of having that little file browser embedded in the program itself. It’s just a little under-developed at the moment, it seems. (Plus it requires Bridge running in the background.)
