The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets’ “20 Minutes of Oxygen” video

This music video for my band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets’ song “20 Minutes of Oxygen” was written, directed and cut by my good friend Mike Jackson of Steam-Powered Films. It was made possible by the kind donations of fans from the band and with the help of Kerberos Productions and would not be possible without the talend of several professionals too numerous to name here.

It premiered at Cthulhupalooza II: Son of Cthulhupalooza on Feb 18th at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver. The fellow in the space suit is yours truly.

Please share this with your friends and get the word out about our little indie Cthulhu band!

You can purchase the song and the rest of Spaceship Zero: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on iTunes, amazon, or eBay.

Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Class – Results

This past Sunday at The Wallflower Diner, conveniently located just below my studio, local sexy burlesque weirdo Bloody Betty posed for Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Class – the “Cthulhupalooza” special.

For the first half, she wore her tentacle dress, and for the second half, she wore a chainmail bikini. I mostly avoided drawing the accoutrements as I was really there to draw the female form, but the tentacles had to be set down on paper.

Extra bonus, Matt from the Wallflower blasted all four albums by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets as mood music.
