Just finishing up the artwork for new Solid State band, The Ascendicate. This is actually a band that I sought out and recently helped sign to the label. I'm very excited for the release of this record. The above image is the final cover (sans sticker, which displays the band name, album title).

Ryan and I were honored to be part of the epic book Beasts! ... and now we're excited to see Beasts! 2, which I am sure will knock our socks off as well. Stay in the loop here.
Oh, and don't forget to check out the cool paperback version of Beasts! coming soon.
The Weretiger (above) is by A.J. Fosik.
Here's a glimpse at some imagery that we're working on for the new record by Becoming The Archetype, titled "Dichotomy." The theme of the album is loosely based on C.S. Lewis' "The Hideous Strength," wherein Lewis writes of the dichotomy between man and machine. Brutal! Oh, and the album slays. Buy it November 25th!
Chip Kidd has a new website (finally!) titled Good Is Dead, which consists of his portfolio, blog, speaking engagements and other nuggets of goodness. I'm very excited about all of this, as I believe Chip is one of the all-time greats. If you don't own this, you need to.
Here is our cover for Unconsecrated, the new album from Australia's The Red Shore.
Mmmmm ... first cupcakes, now this: Fantagraphics just announced their new Flora book, arriving in stores next year. If anyone knows where to find a time machine, let us know.
Die Gestalten Verlag just released Playful Type, which may or may not have a few IC goodies within its pages.
Sleevage has posted a feature on our work for Joy Electric's album, "My Grandfather, The Cubist." You can read an in-depth explanation of the process and view initial concepts for this project here.
A friend just sent me this picture of a Norma Jean fan that decided to get a portion of the artwork we created for the band's "O' God, The Aftermath" record tattooed on their side. I'm not sure who did the tattoo, but it looks like pretty nice work. And the ribs are no joke (just recently had mine done), so kudos to this dude for withstanding such a large piece.
All Known Metal Bands by Dan Nelson is a McSweeney's book featuring the names of over 50,000 metal bands. I saw it on the shelves at Easy Street and had to own it. It was only $17 and even features this band. Not bad at all. Oh, and you'd never guess how many bands are named Nemesis.
