For Ears

I have done some work for these guys, some may already know the image which was "Bridal". They are good friends of mine and i feel they are massively under-appreciated. If you like music that isn't radio friendly that pays homage to the deconstructed sound of post punk/hardcore then I'm sure you will love Blacklisters.

I havent heard such raw throat since Darly Palumbo. Their sound is unique in every sense...it's Violent.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for not posting much new material on here. I've been a mixture of superbusy with i suppose you'd call it an artist block where i wasnt happy with anything i did, so after about a week of destroying a lot of drawings im glad to say im out of that. Everything is ok and coming into place. About those prints of mine too...Finally they are being printed as i type so set to go live next week. Its the "Of a Thousand Tears.." drawing which is limited to a 100.
