October first

Went and saw Kylesa again the other day. They were the last band I had seen live, so now that i think about it, It could be the only band I've seen live all year. I don't go to shows often anymore.

I got a new website, BRICEBAUM.COM.

This blog is now linked to that.

RIP CARL

We need you back, or we need to be where you are. Whichever works best.

Let's Fear Fear

I am working on a zine of only my work, which is a first, to be published by CALICO GROUNDS in Houston. CALICO GROUNDS is a DIY press run by my friends Josh and Steven in Houston. I have my concept ready and I've started getting my illustrations underway. It will consist of three series of illustrations.

Here is some work in progress.....

And this is my wounded cat who is suffering from either bad allergies or she is chewing her arms raw out of "stress."

6 HOURS AND 10 MINUTES LEFT

Halloween

I'm a busy guy. When i'm not working or working on something I am either in class or asleep. I miss friends.

Here is a piece of mine from VOMITORIUM 6. Feel free to hate it.

^ The purpose of this series of black metal inspired paintings is to show how comical it truly is to go to the lengths of caking on black and white makeup (corpse paint.) There really isn't anything metal about it.

I went as far as to put on corpse paint just to really see how long it takes to pull it off and how awful that facepaint feels. It didn't stay on me long, but I did bake a vegan pizza with some friends while wearing the makeup.

^note: look at Rebecca talking to an invisible cat.

This is the cover for VOMITORIUM 6:

This cover is really nice, its a fold out on the reverse side with a continuation of this image's story.

Me watching my cat watch a cat:

I believe I will be printing vomitorium 6 later today.

p.s. my friend Katie got a new website:
