This is a commissioned work for a musician who asked me to design a guitar that looks like the great Moby Dick being chased by the whalers. Each string of the guitar is a harpoon stuck in the whale. Ahab, wrapped in the lines around the head of the whale. This will be a fully functioning guitar, and I am quite excited to seeing it Finished.

Again, digging through older works, I discovered this scratchboard I did many moons ago of the wonderful Providence, Rhode Island band
Alec K. Redfearn & The Eyesores. This was done for a series of trading cards I made of bands I knew and liked in Providence. You can see those cards here:

And you can hear a sample of this brilliant songwriter and the band here:
