Ogdru Jahad - I

This is the third in a line of massive and more complex cover pieces, this time for the debut album from Denmark's Ogdru Jahad. Masterminded by Seventh Blasphemer of Sadomator fame, the album follows suit in terms of their black/death abomination but even more obscure. Vinyl and CD coming soon from Iron Bonehead Productions and Ancient Darkness Productions, respectively. Hear the cry of the Hobo of Nazareth...

 

Invocation Re-cap + Shirt

I've neglected to use this blog for the past four months so get back into it I'll start with a recap of the Invocation show. To quote myself from 261112:  

"Back home and back to work. Infinite thanks to Rick and Kent for making the Invocation show/trip happen, providing me with a killer abode and showing me around the City of Angels. Shout out to my co-invokers Justin Bartlett, Denis Forkas Kostromitin, Antichrist Kramer and Peter Beste for all their amazing work, Ritual Combat for killing it, Psykho and the Cvlt Nation crew for their respective hospitality, Pete Siege for dropping by with the insanely well-produced Mitochondrion records, Nerdmelt for having us and everyone who came to see the show and who I met along the way."
 
To follow up:

- Greg Proops 'Models' podcast is available for download now. It includes a little riffing on my art at the beginning. I used to watch 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' when I was a kid, so this is quite amazing. Check it out HERE.
- The Mitochondrion prints and the original Evil Invaders 3 illustration are still available from DB Think Tank.
- The shirt below, originally available at this show, has now be re-printed by and is available exclusively from Vault of Dried Bones. Special thanks to Peter for all the printing he's done for me.
- Invocation II coming soon, keep your eyes peeled!
