GREAT FALLS + PASTOR TONAL split

BELOW: the folio-style packaging design/layout by yours truly (with this project, I drew inspiration from: 80's skateboard graphics, Mercyful Fate and John Carpenter's THE THING); these will be screen-printed (3-colors: sky-blue, black and metallic silver on chipboard stock) and assembled @BROKEN PRESS. NOTE:  the menacing hand + devil-skull illustrations are by Mr. Demian Johnston and were mangled at my own discretion. This release will be available on the DEAD ACCENTS imprint shortly in an edition of 300 copies.  

THOU + MOLOCH Summer tour 2010

We will begin screen-printing these SOON - you can get more details about the tour HERE. These will be available for purchase starting next month at their shows and then through me afterward. Personally, I had been really slacking as a "graphic artist" the last few years and had shamefully disregarded the power of the pen(cil) and paper. Below is one of the first re-visitations of hand-rendered projects that I have been proud enough to post in recent time. I spent some time sketching the hourglass and Molly handled the lettering (dates) within. I will be posting photographic documentation of the whole process on here as things develop... it's going to be a good one! 


Details:
- designed by Kevin Yuen + Molly Osborne
- measures 13x32"
- printed on very thin chip stock
- colors: red, black, white, metallic silver
- edition of 200 prints

Grinding conception

"While playing shows in the San Francisco Bay Area with IMPALED back in 2000, guitarist Leon DelMuerte asked vocalist Travis Ryan of San Diego extreme metallers CATTLE DECAPITATION to handle vocals for the group MURDER CONSTRUCT he was starting. 10 years later, the band is a reality! 

MURDER CONSTRUCT is a roots grindcore-style five-piece ala NAPALM DEATH and REPULSION with an experimental edge. The band features Leon DelMuerte (guitar/vocals; IMPALED, EXHUMED, PHOBIA, INTRONAUT), Danny Walker (drums; EXHUMED, INTRONAUT, PHOBIA, JESU), Kevin Bernier (guitar; FETUS EATERS, WATCH ME BURN), Caleb Schneider (bass; BAD ACID TRIP) and Travis Ryan (vocals; CATTLE DECAPITATION...)  The band recently cut a seven-song demo which will be mixed soon. In the meantime, check out a couple rough demo tracks on the MURDER CONSTRUCT MySpace page."

ABOVE: not 10 years later, but more like 3 weeks later: the logo that I was recently asked to complete for them. Process: digital camera, sharpie chisel tips, micro .08, ball point-pen, scanned and destroyed.
