What’s more brutal than getting crunk on Jonestown kool aid? This brutal fucking band logo I drew for slam/deathcore (maybe) band Jonestown Crunk. I did two different versions – black and white plus some color. I got a lot of creative freedom with this...

Every self-respecting metalhead has been an Iron Maiden fan at some point, and I’m no exception. I discovered Maiden around age 16 and I’m a geezer now so I can say “I’ve been listening to Iron Maiden since you were in diapers” and...
