Mortem surf version cover song

This is a project I did just for fun over the past couple days:

httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIqE_501PZI

I had the idea of doing one of these ‘Original 1960s Trve Kvlt surf music’ but for a Peruvian band of course. Mortem’s ‘Lycanthropes’ seemed like a good choice. Found some old Herbie Fletcher footage to put on in reverse along with some effects to make it look extra cold and necro.

I was very analytical of each part to keep them close to the original however played in the surf style. If I could do it over again I would have added some walrus samples in the same part as the original goes into some wolf samples.

Some fliers for 2013

These are three fliers I made for upcoming Tankcrimes presents shows. The Infest show tickets are sold out, Bolt Thrower ones were also selling like hot cakes. These all happen to be at the Oakland Metro too.

Bad Coyotes video

This video was a fun little shindig to make. Not exactly motion graphics, more just editing:

Asmereir stuff // Vitamin X

Just last night I finished a new t-shirt design for my band in Perú, Asmereir. We don’t often get to play or have merch made so this is an exciting opportunity.

 

Here’s some close up’s of illustration. Cow skull and leaf area:

“Toxic Waste” Municipal Waste // Toxic Holocaust 12″ split…

Here’s a project I worked on today that was fun. A little motion graphics diddy for Tankcrimes new release. Scotty did the voice over, we added effects to make it sound unusual. We used one of the Toxic Holocaust tracks:

The in progress tracing of Cabesa De Jabali. It’s kind of a self portrait:

 

Just the drawing of Cabesa de Jabali, this along with some other illustration will be used for ‘Ritmo Barato’ the upcoming album.

 

 

This is the cover for the previous album, a collection of demo’s, rehearsals and unreleased tracks. Cut and paste style:

Raised by Zebras video

My friend Garzo who is an old friend from Peru and now lives in the Bay Area just finished making an awesome stop motion origami based video for his band ‘Raised by Zebras’. He has done several videos for his bands in the past and this is by far my favorite one he has made:

I didn’t have anything to do with the visuals on this one, however I did the recording for this session for them. It was mixed by Garzo and mastered by El Chino Saito.

Flyers

New flyers and stuff for 2012

It’s been a minute…

New Bad Coyotes logo. The idea was that we needed a new logo. We researched some old album covers for ideas. There was some logo styles by The Ventures we were into and some other mostly 60’s rocknroll we were diggin’. But one look at the Perez Prado’s ‘Great  Mambos’ told us we should just scan the letters and rearrange them to work for our logo.

 

Thats a picture of the record we scanned to reiterate the letters for our new logo.

Bad Coyotes finally got out of the analog only realm and we started a fabo page, here’s the link if you wanna like us:

We will be recording a new cassette tape in the next month or so that should be making it to a Bandcamp page that will connect to our Fabo page soon too.

 

Punks flier attack:

All these have semi-large halftone dot’s so they look kinda funny on screen, but the hi-res will print nicely.

This is a Bloody Phoenix flyer I made just now for the people over at Six Weeks Records.

 

One of my bands, Uptown Leisure Boys is playing a gig this weekend with Abrupt for our cassette release so I had to make a flyer. My old friend Garzo from Peru will be playing with his new band out here Raised by Zebras.

 

My friend Josh is booking a show for Sickoids who is on tour from the east coast. He needed help with a flyer, so I made this one for him.

 

Ghoul’s Kickstarter video was an awesome project that I had a chance to work on. There were several parties involved. Dan Hashthrash was in charge of the shooting and editing for the first portion of the video. Ross Sewage was in charge of the sound and voice overdubs. Sean McGrath selected additional material for me to work with and gave me direction. Finally I was in charge of motion graphics —explosion. Not only were they happy with the video but funding was a success —another explosion. It was a good team team effort. Pledging ended merely 10 hours ago and they should be able to buy a van soon for there upcoming tour with Gwar. —okay another explosion.

Some upcoming layout stuff that I am stoked to be working on are ‘Toxic Waste’ Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust split with Andrei Bouzikov artwork on Tankcrimes. Also lots of stuff coming up on Shadow Kingdom Records, Nuclear War Now!, Buried by Time and Dust, a new release on Six Weeks Records and after a while and it looks like I might start working on some stuff with Prank Records again in the near future as well.

Buried by Time and Dust

Normal show flyer hitting the streets, Ghoul “Transmission Zero”…

Normal Show at Sub Mission Gallery. This is for an upcoming Ceremony hardcore / punk / experimental show in San Francisco. I worked on this with direction from Ryan Brundage from Geldings. Printed at Econopress. We made this a 2 color job. Sort of a collage of some of the bands’ logos over a green some Ceremony t-shirt artwork.

 

Ghoul “Transmission Zero” is out now and shipping from Tankcrimes Records. Here is the printed gatefold LP cover after some color correction that I talked about in a previous post. The die-hard version of this comes with 3D glasses.

 

Here is the blue vinyl with the gatefold open behind it. We updated the traditional Ghoul center labels for this LP and used spot silver.

 

This was my favorite part to work on. I created this vector design with the supervision of Shaun “Digestor” McGrath. Trigonometrical fun, psychedelia and metal.

 

The back of the LP was influenced by a variety of old, very old records.

 

Saint Vitus “Die Healing” on Buried by Time and Dust with the Japanese style obi that wraps all the way around the jacket. This record has been spinning on my turntable frequently lately so I decided to make a post about it even though it came out a while back.

We worked on this late 2009 and it came out February 2010. I am really glad I was able to receive a copy from the label since it sold out very quickly. Die Healing was released on CD in 1995. It was never originally released on vinyl. This edition consists of 500 Black and 500 Green copies with embossed / cmyk+silver cover and booklet which includes lyrics, reviews and a forward by Dave Chandler himself.

 

Here it is featured with the Japanese style obi taken off.

 

We kept the labels simple for this release.

 

24 x 12 insert. For the cover we used an image that was used on the cd. Silver on the logo. One of my favorite methods that we used for this part of the layout was that instead of blurring the image to come up with a grayscale or cmyk image we opted to blow it up as is and keep the original halftone dots; pure black and white to avoid moiré.

 

The outcome gives halftone dots an organic natural rawness, perfect for Vitus.

 

The inside of the gatefold insert.

Thanks, up the punks!

 

P.S. on a side note anyone else notice how thrash metal came back a few years ago but (almost?) everyone seemed to forget the rototoms? If you don’t know what I mean listen to the first second and a half of Kreators’ ‘Pleasure to Kill’ and Possessed ‘Burning in Hell’ 0:15-0:17.

Kicking Spit “Truth or Consequences” music video

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3E0TNkVdWE

Here’s the new video for Kicking Spit. The music was recorded by Mark Bronzino who also plays guitar in the band and in A.N.S. The video was originally shot and edited by Peter Azen. Scotty from Tankcrimes came to me with a concept and I went from there with some animation and compositing.

Two of my bands are having releases around the same time. I worked on the layout for both of these releases. Bad Coyotes came out with a 45 a few weeks ago. Here’s a of it of it on the record player:
