Poster a la comix

We, Fish & Bird, Adam and I, have our Victoria CD Release coming up, and so I made the poster for it: probably inspired by a certain underground comix artist. This poster was really fun to do!

His tiny knotted heart
Well I guess it never worked too good
The timber tore apart
And the water gorged the wood
You can hear her whispered prayer
For men at masts that always lean
That the same wind that moves her hair
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

this song is so damn good.

Anyhow, here's some recent sketchbook stuff:

Mississippi John Hurt - Lonesome Valley Blues

This is where I drew the second last panel in my John Henry comic from. This video is also too fucking awesome for words.

John Henry said to the captain!

Alright, here's most of the first page of my work in progress John Henry comic. Look at the poor little guy who has to hold the spike for John Henry! Anyways, more to come. Don't worry, the bit with the steam drill is coming soon.

No drawings right now, but...

I'm making a comic of John Henry for a school project, so maybe I'll post some sketches for that once I have something neat to look at. Soon!
Also, I added Jenny's comics to my blog links, woo!
In other news, Iron and Wine is so damn good. So is life. Who knows why.
