I was contacted recently by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum regarding submitting
some of my gig posters into their Library and Archives. I would just like to thank them for even considering my work and accepting

In 2009 I was commisioned to submit character artwork that would be used on a B-movie exploitation
themed Burton snowboard. 2 years later this showed up at my door. I did not do the layout and I don't know who did, but I
think it came out pretty cool. It's called the "Restricted Blunt". Check it out at Burton.com or click the photo.

inspired by the old Marvel comic series "What If". What if Carla Jean got the coin flip correct and ran off with
Anton Chigurh wreaking havoc across the US? There were 2 of these created on gallery
frames. Not sure what happened to them, but if you own one, let me know where it ended up.

them soon. I do not have any copies of these, they were only available at the show.

The Alamo Drafthouse celebrates the end of Terror Thursday
this December with this movie poster for the original "Black Christmas". For
those of you unaware of this film, it's from 1974 and was the inspiration for a lot of horror films that followed, including
the masterpiece "Halloween". Check it out this holiday season.

The Alamo Drafthouse created a 2008 Horror movie poster series for Halloween featuring some
classic films. I was lucky enough to be a part of this very cool series with some
amazing artists. My poster was for the classic vampire flick "The Lost Boys".

The Alamo Drafthouse created this movie poster for the classic film "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Part of Fear
Fest 2 / 2008. I was lucky enough to be asked to create the artwork for this.
The original movie poster is one of my favorites and it was hard trying to come up
with my own take on this film, but it seems to have hit home with the true horror fans. A big thanks to UK Mike for getting
me a signed copy by both Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp. If you see one of these on Ebay, grab it!
