New cover for Laird Barron’s The Croning, art directed by legendary outlaw Wild Dave Palumbo.

New cover for Enormity, out by Night Shade Books. Art Directed by the always fresh, never frozen Dave Palumbo.

This guy is off of our usual illustration and concept art beaten path, but a little design never hurt anybody. Created for Playboy as the opener to a feature on the notorious publisher Paladin Press. The intro to the story:

“It’s illegal to kill a human being, blow up a building, hack into a corporate website. But Peter Lund has made an impressive living teaching the world how to do all this and more with his Paladin Press. On the front lines of his quiet war, the First Amendment is a battlefield, and the blood that flows is all too real.”

I wrapped up a few illustrations for The Chicagoan (an upcoming, brilliant magazine revival dedicated to the Chicago literary and arts scene) a little while back and thought I’d shoot them up here. FOR THE WORLD. Look for it.

Also, an older piece I whipped up for Playboy to accompany John Water’s piece Baltimore Heroes. HINT: The stripper at the center of the piece, Lady Zorro, was the same person as the one shotgunning a beer bottom right. She never lost it!

New cover (and an exploratory ink sketch) for Rob Ziegler’s Seed, art directed by the legendarily svelte and immaculately groomed Dave Palumbo.

Here are a few more covers I wrapped up for Night Shade Books, art directed by the always delicious, stays-crunchy-in-milk Dave Palumbo.

You guys are killing it lately!

Here is the wrap-around cover art I did for Night Shade Books’ dystopian anthology Brave New Worlds. Thanks to our very own Dave Palumbo for the fantastic art direction, I couldn’t have had a better time working on this.

Here’s an illustration I wrapped up recently for Playboy.

As you can tell from this ink sketch, I still manage to run out of sketchbook paper like I’m in 8th grade all over again. Picture some shoes down there for me. Someone just told me that this looks exactly like Mr. Clucker or some shit from Lost, a bandwagon I have yet to jump on. Looks like they have the same damn fine chicken suit sensibilities as I do, though.
