Even More Pillowhead Shtuff

(Lyrics and notes were written by Paul Hake. I edited some things because he sucks at English. These pictures go inside the CD case.)

I went to the album release parties on Saturday and they put on SUCH a good show, both times. I knew they would, but I was pretty blown away. I did acquire the Pillowhead pillowcase and will post a picture of that soon. They weren't able to print the album art just yet, so those pictures should be coming at any given time falling somewhere between the near and distant future. Also, I'll be posting the link to download their entire new album for free in a little while (listen to it here for now).

In other news, I start working as a social media intern today at an Internet marketing company. Yay for me and yay for anyone else who wants to be yay'd for the sake of being yay'd. Yay for Pillowhead.

A Little Doodly Sketchypoo

I sketched this concept for a story that someone is writing. It's an evil key that walks and talks. I might post an update sometime later with a painted/refined version, but I thought this was kind of neat.

Team Fortress 2: Spy

Eventually, I'd like to draw the whole cast of TF2 characters. Three down, six more to go! I also submitted this over at Art Jumble for this week's topic of villains.

The Pillowhead Pillowcase

To go along with their CD release, Pillowhead has decided to create their very own pillowcase, and I was asked to whip up this quick design to slap on some fabric. I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out. Pretty soon, millions of people will be sleeping on my beautiful handwriting.

I'll be taking pictures of the actual thing once I acquire one, as well as the actual CD!

Album Cover: Final

We ended up not using a font at all (they all seemed too "forced"), so I did some handwritten letters instead. I must say that I like it a lot more this way. Also, the second image is for the back of the album.

As you might be able to see, I designed this for Pillowhead's newest release, The Bad Sleep Well. Check them out and give them a listen at myspace.com/pillowheadrock.

On July 10th, they'll be having a couple of parties/shows where attendees will receive a free copy of this CD. I'll be there! More information on that can also be found on their MySpace page, under the upcoming shows section.

P.S. I updated my previous posts with more in-progress shots.

P.P.S. The front cover was posted at Art Jumble for their orange topic.

Album Cover: Finished Artwork

Once a font is chosen, this puppy will be good to go! And since we've already figured out the placement and have a good idea of the style, it shouldn't take too long. I have several prototypes being looked at right meow.

Album Cover: WIP

This is an album cover that I'm working on for a certain rock band. I'm leaving the text and such out of it for now, since I'm still waiting for the dudes to confirm a couple of things. I'm also going to be experimenting with some textures in various spots. That should darken and roughen things up a bit, as well as give the piece a little more depth.

Clint

Here's my rendition of Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino. This was done for Art Jumble's Clint Eastwood topic.
