Advertising can pay great money for certain projects and then there are the jobs that you get to let loose on and they reflect on pop culture. While perusing Behance and looking at portfolio's I ran across this great project mixing illustration and some cool type. It's just got a great vibe and a fun feel, exactly what liquor is supposed to make happen. Great job Jack Daniels.

New Logo For The Damned Angels

Logo design for the Damned Angels

A few years back there was a band from the western hills of North Carolina that was a full blown charge of dynamite waiting to blow at any minute. Unfortunately the fuse on that stick of mayhem was burned out too quickly and things had to shift gears. Now in 2014 head honcho Scotty P and founding member of Crank County Daredevils is back in the southern sleaze saddle with his new project the Damned Angels, to bring back the nasty...

This Is What Happens When A Band Attacks Your Drawing Pad On Tour

This is what happens when bands attack a drawing pad on tour

"Hey Ralph, new shirt?" Just happened to pull out a stack of drawings and this gem fell out. Turns out ol @rorykelly83 decided to attack one of my sketch pads sometime in the past and added a hilarious personal touch. Damn I miss the good times on the road with my hombres in Crank County Daredevils. Their last album was the launch of Rusty Knuckles Music five years ago and from that album we have been able to start an empire. Love ya Scotty, Rory, Velvet and Mikey!!!

Each Of Us Has Meaning And We Bring It To Life

New illustration while working on ideas for an album cover with Rory Kelly

"Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer." - Joseph Campbell, sums it up quite well. We are the duality and born with the ability to raise the level of cognitive thought.

New Illustration For Crafters Metal Fabrication

Final illustration for Crafters Metal Fab new tshirt graphics

Everything has to start with a core idea and I always try to find a different perspective for something that may have been told already many times over. For this new illustration I wanted to work up a design for a friends metal fabrication company without just showing an anvil and or fire relating to the centuries old context of a metal worker. Adding in a cow skull with soon to be added rivets and metal banding, the machinery from the shop juxtaposes the setting and gives it a different vibe. Ol' Randy looks to be pounding in a railroad spike into the skull and gives the viewer the idea that maybe its just more than metal work going on at Crafters Metal Fab.

Billy Don Burns - Born To Ride - Mashup Video

Underground country music icon Billy Don Burns wanted a tshirt design that reflected his love of all things motorcycles andas a the true grit character that he is. We were able to work up an illustration from a photo shoot to capture Billy Don in a way that is uniquely him. With a guitar slung over his shoulder, saddled up on his 1993 1200 Sportster and trademark sunglasses, this pure Billy Don Burns. Do yourself a favor and Support Real Country Music and from one of the real living legends that has lived his music and been cranking out tunes for quite a few decades.

Check out the video below of the illustration coming together, with a mash up video featuring Billy Don's song Born to Ride and the classic film Easy Rider.

JB Beverley New Album Illustration By Kitty Barks

Well folks, I can tell you with absolute certainty, that we have something bad ass coming up for JB Beverley's new album "Stripped To The Root." Not only are we making some interesting promotional items to go along with the album, but we enlisted Kitty Barks to revamp an idea that sat dormant. The album packaging is going to have the kind of vibe that is absolutely Rusty Knuckles. It will be unique artwork encompassing all that this great album will unleash sonically and be the perfect visual solution to a record that is going to burn down genre boundaries.

Once we have a few more elements locked into place, a pre-sale will be posted and package deals will be available for purchase. Being that we have so many things happening around this album, we are pushing it back a few weeks as there are a few surprises along the way which we had to be sure did not get left out. Needless to say, stay tuned as there are quite a few more things to find out about this great project.

"Snake Charmer" New Merch Design For Hellbound Glory

When I started out on ideas for a new merch design with Hellbound Glory, they were interested in an updated eagle graphic. Drawing animals is always quite fun as there are a plethora of pictures to look through online for great reference material. Depicting a snake on the other hand is no easy task as the devil is in the details. The snakes I sketch need to look like no other ones, especially cheesy tattoo flash style imagery.

One morning while postulating on the eagle imagery I kept thinking about some youtube videos I was watching with various birds attacking animals from above. The size of an Eagle's talons are no match for a snake and can be snatched up before he even knows how to defend himself. 

I wanted a bit more of a story to this illustration though and to open up the idea to loom a bit larger. Upon a bit more research I found more information on the Aztec imagery regarding an Eagle and a Snake. According to legend, the Aztec's were wandering the desert looking for a sign of their god Huitzilopochtli. He told them to find a bird perched on top of a cactus eating a snake and this is where their home should be. They found their sign on lake Texcoco and created the Aztec capital of Tenochtitl, which is now Mexico city and the reason a similar symbol is on their flag.

Once I had found that extra bit of info, I knew I was onto something good and ready to start sketching my Snake Charmer illustration from a mockup I created in photoshop. Have a look below to check out the process video mixed with a bit of Hellbound Glory and Smokey And The Bandit.
