My First Proper Sculpt And Paint. Seemed Only Fitting That It Be Hellboy As That Continues To Be My Most
My first proper sculpt and paint. Seemed only fitting that it be Hellboy as that continues to be my most valued media for both art and storytelling. The white figure at the bottom was my actual first stab that melted in the oven which taught me the valuable lesson of creating a proper armature (and using clay that wasn’t many years old). More sculpts coming.
Original Beige Super Sculpey with acrylic paints applied with various brushes. Base is a piece of pine with medium-gauge wire for armature covered in aluminum foil to pad out bulky areas.

Bird 5: Blue Jay
A very pretty, pretty mean bird: the Blue Jay. These things would always scare away the smaller birds on the feeder at my childhood home. In the city, they’re a bit more humble with nastier competition.
Check this guy out, his name is Daniel. This is some character design for a game I hope to make with some friends in the future for the mobile devices. For now, I'll keep dressing him up in dandy gear.
Stop A Thing - PSH
Everyone, I make music under the moniker Prescription Strength Hugs. I have never thought to share any of that on the blog until now which is precisely why you’re getting this and an illustration about something in the song!
Legends Of Rock #03 - Ray Davies
Next up, the leader of my favorite rock band*: The Kinks, Mr. Ray Davies. The first time I heard a Kinks record (middle school, Sleepwalker), it really did a number on me. The Kinks have been the most enduring and consistent musical obsession I've had since that first taste. Ray Davies is the man behind the sometimes absurd, sometimes lovely rock-pop group that spanned three decades. I'm afraid The Kinks are one of those bands that most everyone has heard of, but not so many have heard anything other than You Really Got Me or Lola. Hoping this will help and ya'll like the illustration! I'm starting to feel pretty honored to just draw these Legends, as I'm maybe getting a bit obsessed by each of them as I stare at their photos and read of their accomplishments all the while listening to their radical music.
The Incorrigible Kinks by Austineustice on Mixcloud
*yeah, of all time.
ae album picks: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (1968) & Sleepwalker (1977)
Another in a sweet line of gig posters for DJ Lani Love. New set at a cool Chicago restaurant/bar, replete with safety deposit boxes and a giant bank vault. Went with the old timey Chicago feel, the vault graphic second only to that movie-titley slabby text.
A sad ending to the Orioles 2012 season... But hey! How about some new birds? I know the money ain't flowing into the organization, but could we get some better mascots? I'm willing to design them - call me, O's (think about that middle chill dude just hanging on the third base line).
Catch you next season. For now, Go Tigers?
Hadn’t seen this one before, very tense and creepy. Poor bunny.
New "Hey, Koo!" haiku comic. Things exploding is bound to be a theme with a power like Koo's. Written by Kalia Armbruster with art by me.
Take a Septembral stroll with me through 10 new choice tracks. As usual, most are what's been on heavy repeat, filled in with classics from the vault that fit just right for a Septembral stroll. Enjoy.
