Playboy

OCTOBER 21, 2014
Recently, I worked on a project for Justin Page at Playboy. It was for a snippet of a larger fiction story about a mariachi guitar player who was shot years ago but then finally died due to the bullet still being in his body which essentially poisoned him.

I loved doing every part of this painting. It catered to everything I enjoy doing when it comes to art making and subject matter. The combination of large bold shapes with fine-line details and the skull/guitar combination was perfect subject matter for me. I feel very lucky to have been asked by Justin to work on this job. He also did an amazing job designing the spread - it all works beautifully together.
