Feature artwork for Consequence of Sound’s review of Bat For Lashes’ 2012 album The Haunted Man.
Purchase a print here.The Haunted Man’s striking cover photo of Natasha Khan nude with an also naked man draped over her, was inspired by a Ryan McGinley photograph “Girl With A Wolf”. Taking inspiration from both sources, my frequent collaborator Virginia McCarthy and I imagined Khan communing with the man from the album cover and a spectral wolf. Virginia drew the initial illustration, which I then tweaked and provided watercolors.Read the review here

Hey all!  Maybe you’ve heard that Nerdapalooza is this weekend in Orlando. It’s the largest nerd music festival in the world, no big deal. Well, dig this: the whole show will be streaming via Nerdy Show!  Head over to Nerdy Show Live to see all the action and I’ll be hosting in-between acts.  Pretty cool, right?  Well we also made the cover of the Orlando Weekly featuring me and the Nerdapalooza merch boss, Amanda.  Hot damn!

Cap, our Art Director, will be hosting this year’s live stream of Nerdapalooza and made it on the cover of the local paper!
