Dark illustration with the title 'Not4Prophet Album Cover'

Not4Prophet Album Cover

I describe his music and his political perspective through this statue that has been slightly destroyed and burned, and underneath there is a plaque that reads "Whoever They Vote for, We're Ungovernable'. Its use by protesters of anarchist counter-inaugural activity for many years as a vibrant revolutionary force slogan to undermine the legitimacy of capitalism and the state altogether. But, in the end his statue will never burn down because his music always manages to pass the torch, spreading the words and organize more allied fists. Insurrect total resistance. As Emma Goldman said; "Its not my revolution if i can't dance to it."

Sketches for fantasy book

The client wanted several sketch-style illustrations for their fantasy novel. Nothing overly detailed, in a rough pen and ink sketch style based on book excerpts. This particular illustration is of a flooded valley with the top of a broken old wizard tower poking up from an inky dark lake, lighting bolts shooting down around the tower, mountains behind it forming a geo-political border.
