Hey! I should really update this thing more, I need to stop being so damn lazy. Anywho heres some new works, beneath youll see some new posters for IAM COMMITTING A SIN im stoked on the posters and even more stoked on the band, seriously really good band, I hate admitting it just because im kinda jealous of them. You can see them on tour across Canada this month with Silverstein and A day to remember so be sure to go support a great band and pick up one of these prints!

Also have a new shirt design for metal/ grind band Terrorhorse, as well as Kitchener metalcore dudes Kingdoms, who were actually lucky enough to score a deal with underground operations. And theres heres a preview for a new piece I did for Montreal Metal gods Barn Burner. Barn Burner will be doing some touring across Montreal and Ontario within the next two months so be sure to keep an eye out for those dates and go party it up with those guys, awesome band.

















If youre interested in commissions, artwork at all of any kind just hit me up pat.hates.being@hotmail.com I think ill be making a facebook page for my art and illustrations soon to so watch for that. One more thing, if youre in a metal-ish band and you want artwork, for your benefit and mine please think of a more original concept than zombies! Haha if youre paying me ill gladly do it, but its getting to be pretty overdone! doesnt hurt to try to do something new

Wow Ive been fuckin lazy...

Yeah, this is only the second new blog post of 2009...what the fuck was I thinking putting this off for so long. I guess I have been a bit busy, ill illustrate how busy I was....with these new illustrations! haha, beneath are some new commissions, designs and illustrations for bands and posters and such since my last post. More artwork coming soon, in the meantime while you re sitting around waiting for that (cuz im sure you have nothing better to do! You should go watch the new terminator movie haha, I've seen it twice since it came out last week already, in my next post Ill tell you how many more times I've seen it since! Also, you could keep your time occupied (like I have) by downloading and listening to the new Zao and Coalesce albums! No doubt they're gonna be two of the best releases of 2009, the track "wild ox moan" on the new Coalesce album "Ox" wild, simply fucking wild.

Zao's "Awake?" good release, I don't think it really matches their last ferret release "the fear is what keeps us here" But its still a chilling release worth listening to ,no Zao album is sure to be like the last though, especially with all their constant member changes, which I lost track of a long time ago. "Awake?" is a strange album riddled with strange lyrical content, touching on some very far out and frightening social and political conspiracies and truths, particle accelerators ripping open black holes with aliens coming through anyone?

Fuck that new Our Father track is good. On that note, know what else is new and good? Yup, that new vatican chainsaw massacre! Ridiculous, they sure do have their own sweet strange style goin on. I was super stoked to see them at the Casbah last friday but me being a goon and not noticing it was 19+ didnt end up going after we made it to the venue.

Lord knows im old enough! haha oh my, how I wish I wasnt! But our little pal Dylan didnt make the cut, and we couldnt just leave him out in the cold while we partied on could we? Awful. At least I got their sweet new c.d. (hazy skies over marthas vineyard) Check it...
