Hello, updates. I've missed you.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I'll try and blog a little more, but I guess that's what Twitter is for. I've been slammed with some really cool/fun projects as of late. Some stuff I can show and others I can't.... yet.

Here's a few things I can show you though:

My friends in Wretched just recently hired me to do a series of shirt designs for their upcoming tours.
Here's a preview of the first design:

"Friends Betrayed"



This design is based off of the 2 characters from The Jungle Book "Ballo" and "Mowgli"
Mowgli fucked up, and for that, he lost his limbs.

Also, I hate to keep plugging this and posting about it, but I will be showing art August 9th in Atlanta, GA alongside some amazing artists at the Strange Daze music & arts festival in little five points. I'll be displaying some original lineart for random shirt designs and a few ine art pieces. All you atl peeps better come say whats up!
Here's the flyer; (lame, i know)


Here's one of the paintings I just finished up for it;
"Heartfelt"

If you're interested in purchasing this piece though, feel free to contact me.


see you there.

It's time for the harvest...

I recently completed a shirt design for Atlanta based band, Attila.
These guys are all about partying, etc, so we discussed concepts, and finally settled on this idea.

RAPTOR HARVEST!!!

Eat a bowl of f**k! - I am here to PARTY!

"Blessed be the sinners, for the day of atonement is at hand."
- Angela

Night of The Demons is honestly one of those movies that you can watch a few times, take a break from, then come back to a few days later and it's awesome all over again. Those of you who have never seen this movie and are into horror,
you NEED to check it out.
A remake of it is in the works, which I doubt will come anywhere close to how gnarly the original was. Shannon Elizabeth? Come on...
Enough about that.
Among the massive amount of projects I have underway, I was able find time to paint this messy Demon. Nothing serious, just a fun painting.

Here's the piece I did inspired by the movie:

"Angela's party"


This painting is for sale. If you're interested in purchasing this, please head over to http://aaroncrawford.bigcartel.com/product/angelas-party and you place your order there.

Here's a trailer for the 1988 classic:

Skin filled forever with my artwork... AWESOME!

An awesome fan of my work by the name of Sammie Ann ( http://www.myspace.com/violet_cellar_door ) sent me a picture of a recent tattoo she had done of an older design I did for An Early Cascade! It's amazing to me that someone enjoys my art enough to have it on their body for the rest of their lives.

Check it out below!
