Here's the cover for new Solid State band, To Speak Of Wolves' debut release. Hands are still tough for me. I probably drew 15 pairs of hands before I felt like I got it right...

We just launched a pre-order for the new Demon Hunter record, The World Is A Thorn. Go here to see the different bundles being offered. The deluxe edition box is filled with goodies and there are some extra odds and ends that you can add for dirt cheap. Oh, and the music's not too shabby either.

Our buddy Ethan was in town and decided to snap a few cool shots of the shop.

Here are 3 recently finished album covers. Had a lot of fun with all of these. All great records too!

Just wrapped up both (regular & special edition) packages for the new DevilDriver record. I'm a big fan of the band, so it was an honor to work with Dez and the guys.

Four guys in outdoor clothing- check. Rocks and various debris- check. 2 staggered pine trees- check. Campfire- check. One guy warming his hands, one guy roasting a marshmallow- check. White seamless backdrop- check. Congrats- you've successfully ripped off our Fair artwork! Your Dave Hill photo treatment needs some work though.

Check out our new post over at Headbangers Blog, in which we explain the process of creating imagery for the April, 2009 issue of Revolver magazine, featuring metal heavyweights Lamb Of God. Feel the wrath!

Here's the cover for Demon Hunter's new "Live In Nashville" record. For this album cover we wanted to execute our "demon skull" logo (which graces every DH cover) in a new and unique way. If you focus on the black negative space, you'll see it. Album available January 27th!

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).

There was a lot of great album artwork this year, but here are 10 that really caught my eye. Enjoy.

We've been posting fairly frequent blog entries over at MTV's Headbangers Blog, giving in-depth views into various design projects. This time, you can read about the artwork for Demon Hunter's forthcoming 3-disc release, "45 Days."

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!

I am loving Nerdbots (and their site) - and may just have to pick one up. 

"Oddly obsessed with all things robot, married couple Nicholas and Angela from Kansas City, Missouri, decided on a whim one day to do nothing other than to build one themselves."

I'm starting to feel partial to Drip, but Beamer looks like he may need a hug ...

45 Days. A Film About Demon Hunter By Cale Glendening.

I was asked to gush go into a little detail regarding our re-design for Machine Head's epic The Blackening - Special Edition over at Headbangers Blog. In stores on October 27th.

Anthony St. James is a NYC based photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Anthony in 1997 when he shot our previous band in Seattle. After 11 years, it's great to see his progression and success. Epic work.

We just finished the artwork for the new Copeland record "You Are My Sunshine" and the above images are samples from the CD booklet. Good friend and Tooth & Nail A&R guru Jeff Carver shot the beautiful Holga photographs. The record is available in regular and special editions. The special edition includes lots of extra goodies and we had a lot of fun putting it together. Oh, and the music itself is phenomenal. Can't... stop... listening...

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.

Steve Schofield's Land Of The Free gallery is making my morning just right. Brilliant.
