THE CHIME OWLS

THE CHIME OWLS are a weirdo rock band from Wichita,Ks. 2 of my favorite people in the world play in the band Jeffers, and Phil Ross...i was asked to design a few tshirt designs, 1 color, hand drawn....which was a nice change, most of the pieces ive been asked to do lately are based around multimedium concoctions! so, below are the pieces, i've had a good response, hopefully you dig. and as usual, I"M ALWAYS FOR HIRE for some art(im rather cheap too)since it's what i love to do!, i work for pennies pretty much...eh.

THE SHMACK magazine

The Shmack magazine theshmack.com is a local(quad citie's,illinois) magazine based around unsigned magazines, i was fortunate enough to be asked to work for for them doin a few things, writing a column, and a comicstrip. its a great magazine, easily the best around here. heres some pics i took cause im so proud of them!

Mi Infierno II by Jorge Anthony Tapia

This is the sequel to my debut solo album "mi infierno I", happily i quickly sold out, and have moved forward rather quick. So, thats the name of the game for me in 2011. I will be releasing 13 solo/collaboration albums, one a month. MI2 will be ready in a few weeks, theres a limited edition CD and a downloads will be free at nitetrotter.com. Hillel Zavala collaborated with me on the art of these first 2 albums. MI2 i did just kind of take the ball and ran with it, but i gave it almost a cheap feel, due to its consistency in quirky pop/r&b themed music throughout the 16 track album. Guest musicians include my lovely daughter CHICA X, my soulmate in EYES William Townsend Harris, and a son that ran away after he got married making me beats, Uriel Cerqueda.

With this post im also adding a preview to my 4th album which is a collaboration between I and SinjoThrawMash, a wonderful experimental,experience on both our parts as we brought in the new year recording right up to literally minutes before midnight on December 31st, the english title is "The two headed circuit"

NITCO poster

This is one of the first nitco posters i did, pre-photoshop days. stuff was alot more organic then. i miss those days, but, i have alot less mess around my house, and alot more free time...including the money i used to give to kinkos, can now go towards, other things...

this poster hangs up in my basement still...i love it.

A tatt i did on my cousin

This is a tattoo i did on my cousin, the design was inspired by Sonny Kay's 'Omar Rodriguez Lopez' album cover for Mantro Hiroshima, this is just the first session. it'll get better!

Weather is Happening

WIH is a post Ricky Fitts Wichita,Ks. band that moved to Iowa City, went defunct, played a few more shows and is now kinda in limbo. heres some art from their unreleased full length, that was recorded in Iowa City at Flat black Studios.

this will come out were hoping in 2011.

art by me, multi media. ink on paper and graphic designs.

NIGHTOSAUR!!! RARRRrrRRRrrRR

Nightosaur is a band from Minneapolis/St.Paul with ex-members of Unicorn Basement(a personal favorite), and Eye of the Great Protector(also super dope). The music made by these post-prehistoric dudes is actually quite hard to classify...it's uh, post-metal??? catchy thats for damn sure!! I've been working on their debut album art, and obviously they wanted me to base it around Dinosaurs...this is something i havent played with since i was like 7! so, its been definitely challenging. Dinosaurs look cool on their own, how can i spruce that up!? So i did some research by watching the Jurassic Park trilogy(which still totally rules) and got psychadelic on these Dinorockers... i havent got the okay on these preliminaries, but still thought i'd share em with you anyhow!

Jorge Anthony Tapia-Aquatic visions through the spines of the jellyfish

This album will be out in February....these pictures of me were taken by my cousin in her studio in San Francisco, do yourself a favor and Google Nikki Araguz...thats her! all the other pictures were actually taken by me, outside of the hidden universe pieces. the Jellyfish pix were takin at a museum. beautiful creatures they are. This will be my 3rd instillation of 13 solo/collaborative albums i'll be releasing through 2011. the first 'Mi Infierno I' is available right now on CD, and i'm actually flying through the copies alot faster than intended. I'm not sure how i feel about represses, since i'd rather move forward than repress.  These albums are all individual studies, but as a whole are based around musical evolution as quick as the sun rises and falls. I also like to work quickly and move on. A.D.D. style. so heres the art. enjoy. i hope when the albums out the music compliments it well, i'm rather proud of these pieces. P.S. i am not really snorting anything out of the money fold, it was simply taken for the art...

MIJA free show at The TorchLight in E.Moline, Jan.22nd!

Here's a multimedia flyer i designed out of pictures i took on my way out to SanFrancisco last month.

MAINEY WILSON!!

For more info about Mainey Wilson checkout NITCOrecords.blogspot.com , but here is a flyer i did for the upcoming CD release on Nitco! of this Experimental Soul duo. featuring Ikey Owens of the Mars Volta/Free Moral Agents.
