Made a birthday card for a coworker. First try with watercolor first and ink on top. I think it worked out pretty okay!

Just want to say I’m humbled real quick here. If anybody remembers the album art for Hetfield and Hetfield’s Tidal Wave Dreams (which is one of the best catchiest techy melodic punk/prog things you’re gonna hear, not to mention stellar super professional production) that I did, you know, the big bird guy in the ocean that I did the how-to article on last year?

Well, Casey from the band got that artwork tattooed on him. Never thought anything I did would be on anybody’s body forever, so…I mean…wow, that’s awesome.

And THAT, my friends, is success.

And here’s the ink for the back cover too, since I just finished that up.

Yeah, my band nobody cares about is getting shirts. I drew this. It’ll be okay.
