"Elysium"

Hello and happy Daylight Savings! Even with the loss of an hour, I was able to churn out this exciting new piece for The Letter E. This image just about exploded from my imagination, as soon as the word "Elysium" came to mind. Originally, it wasn't going to be so spooky. But once the brushes started moving, I simply couldn't help myself.

"Doggone"

This marks the end of my first week back on the daily illustration wagon. I hope you've enjoyed Letters A through D. Have a swell weekend, and be sure to check back on Monday for more Alphabet Attack!

"Cabeza Con Carne"

And the beats keep rolling with this new run of Alphabet Attack! I'm having a blast with these, so far. And I have a feeling they're only going to get weirder. Er, I mean, better.


Stay tuned for The Letter D, tomorrow!

"Bulletproof Bastard"

"Out my face! Fool, I'm the illest! Bulletproof... I die harder than Bruce Willis!"
- King Gum Crosland

"Aristosaur"

Be it billionaire ball or statesman soiree, this dapper dino is always at his finest. Sleek scales draped in soft silk... razor teeth and brimstone breath, bellowing tales of financial conquest and world travel. Maybe he's born with it. Or maybe it's his crack team of caveman tailors and dietitians. Whatever his secret is, The Aristosaur remains the ultimate Cretaceous sartorialist.

"They've just been waiting in a mountain, for the right moment.
And listening to the irritating noises of dinosaurs and people dabbling outside."

Back In Business!

Like Ghostbusters 2 and Electric Boogaloo, ALPHABET ATTACK! is back in business!

While I won't be picking up where Series 3 left off (just yet), this week will mark the launch of a whole new set of ideograph-inspired illustrations. I'll be bringing a new level of raw power to these pieces, brought from the depths of an extremely "work immersive" winter. Don't say you weren't warned.

It all starts tomorrow with The Letter A.

"Tell 'em it's their love that got me this far, and it's my dreams I see their faces in."

Alphabet Attack! Returns In 2012

Hello, fine followers of Alphabet Attack!


I sincerely apologize for my lack of posts, this past month. To be honest, I simply haven't had time to commit to the blog and the list of illustrations I have in store for it. With new commercial work on my plate, plus a glut of travel between my last post and the end of 2011, something had to give. For better or worse, Alphabet Attack! has become that "something."


But don't run into the hills, screaming, just yet. The Attack! will return. It's just on hold for now, while I handle my business and keep the lights on in the studio.


Though she'll be hibernating for the start of winter, Alphabet Attack! will return in January 2012, bigger, badder and stronger than ever. I'll be continuing with the current, creepy-ass series that started with "Almost Anonymous" and "Bigot Brutality." We'll pick things back up with the completion of "Coral Carnivore," and plow ahead from there.


In the meantime, you can keep up on my art exploits, release announcements and Holiday merchandise sales via my art blog, On The Slate.


Take care and I'll see you on the other side of New Years!
