Here’s a little update, for you lovely people of tumblr, about this little series of illustrations that I’m making.
Here’s a cute little list that I organized for you guys, of the illustrations that I’ve done so far:
- John O’Callaghan, of The Maine
- Jeremy McKinnon, of A Day To Remember
- Jonny Craig, formerly of Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa
- Vic Fuentes, of Pierce The Veil
- Austin Carlile, of Of Mice & Men
- Oliver Sykes, of Bring Me The HorizonI’ll be adding to it as much as I can despite having a 10-hour shift from work, 6 days a week because I need to stop whining and actually start earning so I can invest enough cash to start printing these little bastards on t-shirts.
Oh and.. while I’m away, please refrain from ripping off my work. Thanks :)

staygreat asked: that sucks with the johnny stealing your art. i do a lot of band related art and ive have similar problems before.
I’ve been inspired and been following your art since, like, forever (or that day I came across your ADTR piece) and this comforts me in more ways than you could imagine.
Thanks, man.

so-comeandfuckingget-us asked: I LOVE your stuff on here! Really it's awesome and I'm sorry about the Jonny Craig thing.. I don't know what to say? Hopefully he'll realize what the fuck he's doing? Anyway you're great:)
Aw! I really appreciate the feedback, support, and all. Thank you! :”)
As much as I want to do something about that, I really can’t unfortunately :( Or at least not right now, maybe. All I can say though about it is that it’s not gonna stop me from making more of these. I love what I do, and I’m not gonna let little assholes like them bring me down.
I guess I’ll be fine, haha!

It’s my birthday today I guess.

An excerpt from one of A Day To Remember’s songs and probably my most favorite line in every song I’ve heard from them because this speaks only so much about keeping your head leveled down whether you’re someone famous or some kid in a small town wanting to change the world someday.
A little humility won’t hurt your ego.

Art theft and terrible people aside..
So, basically, I’m currently making this ongoing series of illustrations of where band members have one of their well-known tweets (and/or anything they’ve put or shared on twitter, or I’ve found inspirational) scribbled on their faces.
Here are links to the pieces I’ve made so far:
- John O’Callaghan, of The Maine
- Jeremy McKinnon, of A Day To Remember
- Vic Fuentes, of Pierce The Veil
- Jonny Craig, formerly of Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa
- Austin Carlile, of Of Mice & MenI’m currently making the second set and I’ll be adding to it from time to time.
You can suggest me your favorite band members and any of their tweets that you deem influential, inspiring and such, and let’s turn this into a thing you guys! :)

This is the first time that this has happened to me so.. I don’t really know how to react. Except maybe get mad, naturally.
This won’t be a long ass rant so. But I am mad. I mean, I was honestly—to say the least—flattered too at first that he took interest in my work! And I don’t want to sound like I’m dissing Jonny or anything and.. believe me, I admire the fella (a lot!) and respect him for his works and his really gifted voice but, come on, blatantly ripping off someone else’s work (whom they exerted effort into making) for your own gain is just.. unfair. I know that word has been said again and again with similar situations regarding art theft but..
I’m not asking for anything. And I know I wouldn’t be able to do anything from my end considering the fact that I live halfway across the world from where he’s at right now and that I don’t have the resources to pay for a copyrighter and an attorney to settle this legally.
I really don’t know what to do.
I’m just.. I’m just asking for him to recognize my work. And for him and people to realize that what he’s doing is wrong.
