Supermoon EP

I recently had the chance to work on the debut EP for local indie-rock act Supermoon. It turned out pretty well, I think!

Blasphemics: Dogs Can Smell Cancer

My “Blasphemics” album cover will be a part of the upcoming Theoretical Records show at Cleveland’s Pink Eye Gallery. Read more about it here at the The Rag Refinery’s page.

Yeah… about this.

I was commissioned by the Rocky River Brewing Company to produce a logo for their new beer, the “Hoptimus Prime” India Pale Ale. I actually did a few versions for them, none of which they were crazy about, as they also wanted to fit an idyllic farm scene featuring a steam-powered locomotive passing over the Rocky River bridge while farmers gathered wheat in the fields.

Oh, and beer kettles. Don’t forget the beer kettles.

However, each logo I created suffered from the same tragic weakness: There is (apparently) a drastic juxtaposition of style when an early 1900′s American village is trampled by a 40-foot tall Japanese Hop-robot, and that juxtaposition is something that just can’t be overcome. They never did end up using it.

Upon careful examination, it looks like Hoptimus is giving someone the bird.
