Been out of town and around.
Did a few little fetish drawings recently for fun and to play with tablet settings.

Working on a gorgon, so drew some snake ideas. I'll probably ink them up for fun.
3 sketches in pencil: a cooked snake, a spitting snake, a long wet forked tongue. Snake tongues aren't wet like that. It's just good for showing motion and being creepy.

Doing some, quick, mock-ups and just nerd-proud of myself for remembering how to do displacement masks.

Chester Simpson Sioux photo as starting point.

Wednesd4y’s party grew out of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I made a half dozen flyer variations for KKBB, over the years.
Black and pink flyer for KIss Kiss Bang Bang. The image is a stylized Louise Brooks against angled 8-s style background Back of flyer with silhouette of people with big 80s goth hair and a list of bands A vertical remake of the horizontal flyer, so the back could be printed with another club’s promo

Wednesd4y’s Party flyer
Original had the centered header at top but I realized the dimensions were wrong. The easiest fix was changing the logo.

#goth #industrial #80sMusic #graphicDesign
A pile of black and white flyers. Xeroxed on cardstock and cut into individual flyers a 4-up page with 4 copies of the same flyer, ready to be printed then cut into individual flyers. interior gutters are measured so cut flyers will have the same border all around Early version of the flyer with centered headline. The dimensions were for standard color flyers, which is the wrong shape for 4-up cheap printing.

Pulled some screen prints.
I'm a process nerd and love how the screen looks when I'm done.

Part of me wants to let it dry and hang it on the wall.
