-BSN Outtakes #1

There was a lot of sketching coming up with the Blue Sky Noise cover, here were a few of those rough ideas..


My friend Erik Foss over at Fuse Gallery is having a DRAW book release party this weekend at the Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico if you happen to live in Mexico City, click on the flyer for link to all the artists and photos of the exhibit.

-Hidden Wizzard

August Post 8 of 22.
I'm always on the look out for things that look like other things. So when I was gazing down at my coaster at the Pencil Factory a few weeks ago I finally saw it.

And filled in the blanks a bit so you can too.

-House of Mystery 30

Here's the cover I did for Vertigo's "House of Mystery" issue 30.

12"x18" oil on panel with digital help.
A flame was added using the magic of Photoshop to subdue some of the ribbons. I personally like its ribbon-ness, but since another DC title was coming out this month with an unraveling mummy. Thats too many cloth-strip references for a month.
Original and sketches here.

A lot of sketches were done for this issue, the old timey ones along the bottom were sketched up based off one of the first summaries of the story arc. So many months went by that the story had changed in the final script. So a newer, technicolor batch was doodled up.

-Photo Bomb.

A few people informed me that some of my paintings a friend of mine owns are in the "At Home" section of Anthropologie's website.
They aren't for sale, just background props.


The fine print states "richly detailed bohemian decor is on the rise"

Nice surprise.
Thanks Aubrey
Thanks Candace
Thanks Maléna
Thanks Zeb.

-Solid Void

I haven't written about it really, but I've been working on a show all year for Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC and am wrapping it up. This will definitely be my biggest show and its all new work 'cept for the Blue Sky Noise painting which will be there too.

I just whipped this jpg below for the daily-blog-posts until I get something official worked out.

I'll post detail shots like this here and there from the series.
If anybody has an inkling of interest to purchase a painting. Contact Darcie Vukovich at darcie[at]jonathanlevinegallery.com.

See you Monday.

Unfinished poster for Circa Survive that was TOO much like Miyazaki's Turnip Head, I didn't feel like finishing.
I love all of his movies.

-Siamese Flower

Daily Post 3 for the month of August...
I've been making breakfast burritos at home now that Relish has closed.
Spotted this Siamese flower on their fence a few weeks ago.


I went back the next day and someone had plucked it. I'm glad I took the photos.

Not sure what kind of flowers they are, I'm sure something common.
