I have no idea where the inspiration for this drawing came from.
Music In The Video The music in this one is by Harlem Shakes, a now defunct indie band out of NYC. After putting out an EP and solid full length album, “Technicolor Health”, the group disbanded in late 2009. The guitarist Todd Goldstein, is making new tunes though under the band name ARMS. You can check them out here.
The song in the video, “Sunlight”, along with the rest of the Harlem Shakes discography is available on iTunes here.
Music In The Video ALBUM RELEASE! The 5th Dank art video coincides with the release of Manuok’s latest album, “The Old Horse”. The brain child of the talented Scott Mercado, Manuok was a band I had the delight of seeing play multiple times when I lived in San Diego. The song in the video “Warship” is off their second album No End To Limitations. While I’ll have to wait until I move back to the States before I see them play live again, I’m stoked that today I’ll get to taste a whole new version of the magic Mr. Mercado and his crew have been making.
You can get the new album, along with news and tour dates, at www.manuok.com
The last sketch in Sketchbook Vol. 19: “Chainsaw Santa”, and the completed front and back covers.
Above: The back cover is made up of newspaper clippings and a BART pass from a trip back to the States in July of 2009, a McDonald’s Cheeseburger wrapper in Spanish, tea bag wrappers from my good friend caffeine, and two numbered tickets from waiting in line at the Buenos Aires post office to ship Orange Gorilla Stickers around the world.
Above: The front cover is made up of pieces of newspapers from some of the cities I was in during a trip back to the States in July of 2009. The pink drips are leftover paint from my painting Bazooka Retrograde.
