I found this old zinc plate design going through a box in the garage the other day. It’s 35 years old now…Surprise!

My lovely wife,the Screaming Chica herself, used to play Magenta at a local showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show back in the day. To commemorate this, I’ve made her this portrait for our eighth anniversary. I love you, baby. We’re all lucky!

This piece was for my Sister-in-law, Yvonne. The portrait is of Annie, the beloved family dog…now 15 years old. Bring art to the party and you’ll never go wrong!

I haven't seen this machine in 25 years! It's the very first arcade box I decorated for Midway Games back in the 20th Century. I was working for a different company who had landed the vendor contract to design the stickers, and we did this box. Soon after, my supervisor convinced Midway to let him build a packaging department in house, and I soon moved over. The International Brotherhood of Electronic Workers was striking at the factory across the street the day I started. They didn't get what they were after...but I got to play video games for free at lunch for a while.

Raisin Music was releasing a new version of "Sittin' in with the Greats; The Chicago Blues Play-Along CD", where they recorded sessions at Buddy Guy's Legends. I based this new album cover off of the original, but with my Procreate style. Long live the blues!

Eric Schwartz, a comedian with a flare for funny songs, needed a background for his stand-up special and was sent my way. We reached this design pretty fast as he knew what he wanted. The design stretched over a dozen screens in the Avalon Theatre in Hollywood...https://www.ericschwartzlive.com/ Streamer TBD.

It would be amazing if you could draw me a skeleton pin up girl!

I've got no idea when you sent this, but I guess I could make that happen. I'll take it under advisement and post it here when it happens.

Hello there! Would you happen to have some more Dethklok concept arts you'd be willing to share? I'd like to try and model Dethkopter and possibly make a papercraft, but it's really hard to find any info on it, let alone a 3d model.

To my knowledge there was never a 3D model built of the Dethklok flying restaurant, Dethkopter. I think at best I've got a front, profile and 3Q illustration. I'll dig it up and post it, so you can simply look in my feed again in a while to find them.

Whipped up some goofy references to Old Gregg from an old episode of The Mighty Boosh for my buddy, Dinosaur Hotelier/Actor/Writer/Producer, Greg Tally. Greg's 50 now, so he's old. You may see folks passing around a basketball sized, purple prop of Da Funk; which my wife, Veronica "Screaming Chica" Hunt, crafted for the festivities...It's been described as if Covid were to contract the 'Rona...I think she did a fantastic job. Happy Birthday, Greg!

Back in '97 I made this poster for the Soapbox Show, a group show of about 70 opinionated artists I put together to see my fellows get political. Hung in Poop Studios; the establishment of notable artist and madman, Shane Swank...beneath the Flatiron Building, in the center of Wicker Park, in the center of Chicago. It's one of my favorite designs and I just noticed it missing from this archive. Thanks to all those artists that participated and thanks to Shane!

Yesterday we threw a fun happy birthday party for my mother-in-law, Maria Hunt…in her back yard. I painted a portrait of her home and we brought a candy-stuffed piñata for her to beat! My lovely wife made an amazing Peruvian spread for the party goers, so she and I wore our Hats from the Andes! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZSl4DMP19Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some of you may remember these two…That last post landed fresh photos of another piece from the same, old show from 20 years ago in Shreveport, Louisiana! Thanks, David Nelson! https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxjr4upeMg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Visiting an old pal in Chicago last month, I was able to get some nice, new shots of 3 paintings from another era… https://www.instagram.com/p/CSm5Ct5hjNT/?utm_medium=tumblr
