Also those projects

Last few things I've been working on, including a poster design I did for Big Hugs Stout by Half Acre:

and a piece on King Solomon and the cultist demonology based around the Ars Goetia:


It's actually a bit odd this post because I feel I have more to post but they're all old pieces I am reworking for my portfolio. I'd hate be redundant and I do want to start trying to make more post on this blog just outside of just my art, all the time. Figure it's time to start doing more stuff with this blog.

Es-so

Final week of school

Dis is me

Belial

The 68th demon, Belial, makes his way around to say the least. He appears outside of the lesser key of Solomon in a lot of texts and writings on demons and the occult. He even appears in the dead sea scrolls described, "But for corruption thou hast made Belial, an angel of hostility. All his dominion is in darkness, and his purpose it to bring about wickedness and guilt."

His entry in the lesser key reads as, "The Sixty-eighth Spirit is Belial. He is a Mighty and a Powerful King, and was created next after Lucifer. He appeareth in the Form of Two Beautiful Angels sitting in a Chariot of Fire. He speaketh with a Comely Voice, and declareth that he fell first from among the worthier sort, that were before Michael, and other Heavenly Angels. His Office is to distribute Presentations and Senatorships, etc.; and to cause favour of Friends and of Foes. He giveth excellent Familiars, and governeth 50 Legions of Spirits. Note well that this King Belial must have Offerings, Sacrifices and Gifts presented unto him by the Exorcist, or else he will not give True Answers unto his Demands. But then he tarrieth not one hour in the Truth, unless he be constrained by Divine Power. And his Seal is this, which is to be worn as aforesaid, etc."

This guy(s) wants to fuck up your day.

You lucky so and so

And also, a wood panel piece I did for me and Barbara's one year anniversary. Another year to hoping I don't fuck it up!

And for recent music, I literally cannot stop listening to Deerhoof's new album

I mean that, as in it's so good I might die if I do stop listening to it on repeat.

How long

And the sketch pile!

How long

Welp, it's getting close. I am down to the last month and half of school and then I shall be graduated. It's an odd feeling but I would really like to get on with my adult life at 25, it has been a bit delayed.

That said, 10 week review came up for illustration which mean we had 10 fully finished illustrations due WHICH ALSO MEANS I got a lot o' things to post, which I will commence with forthwith.

The first being a cover I did for the Cloud Atlas, an amazing book written by David Mitchel I can not recommend enough. It's a story about six different people through 6 different time spans and how they interweave. Outstandingly well written and impressively intricate. ANYWAYS COVER:


The project before that was me trying to illustrate mythological figures in a modern setting so I went with the African goddess Ala, one who represents both birth and death which means that's a boatload of good imagery to work with. HERE:


Another illustration I did recently on modern mythology was on Jack Fiddler and the sucker tribe. It's a complicated event involving murder, rightful land, cannibalism and the mythology of the wendigo that took place in Ontario in the 1920's. Sad and intricate at best:


And the last post for this entry is a touch up on an old poster design I did for ANTI records. I quite like it a lot more now:


Phew, more stuff coming.

I heard if you put Charlie Sheen in your blog, you'll get 10,000+ viewers but luckily I am not so attention grabbing.

Getting a bit behind on post but not on drawings. HERE ARE SOME SKETCHES.
