Between 2007 and 2013 I ran a local record label called Disgorge Media, we put out records for The Roman Holiday, Behold the Alliance, God is Dead, Renouncer, and Marasmus, most all of whom no longer exist (The Roman Holiday renamed to Ahtme after signing to Unique Leader). We ever printed one shirt design specifically for the label, some kid whose artwork was pretty big back in those Myspace days in death metal, metalcore, deathcore etc. Don't remember what the kid's name was, but he was frustrating to work with. I found the original artwork, so I'm posting it here for anyone who wants a print a decade later.

Simple, minimalist, but stylish design of the famous Neo-Tokyo Explosion of the original Akira Manga. Shōtarō Kaneda

Dedicated to the 1985 World Series winning Kansas City Royals, I crafted this design from materials on what I would love to see a store sell as a throwback shirt to this championship team. But they generally don't sell throwbacks like this, so I decided to make my own for the fans who lost their originals, weren't old enough to remember, or weren't alive yet to witness their first World Series pennant. Also in an alt-design with blue font for lighter colors!

Casket Crew design without additional design, for the Casket Crew minimalist. Greyscale for the apparel wearer who hates adding color to their apparel prints. Type O Negative has been doing sales of new merch on their website, some of which features this logo - so please check it out and consider a purchase there if you like the overall scheme of what they're offering.

Nothing Records was an independent record label ran by Nine Inch Nails brainchild Trent Reznor from 1992 until a lawsuit led to its cease of operations in 2004. Through Nothing Records Reznor helped further propel the career of NIN, as well as launch the career Marilyn Manson and bring the music of English alt-rock/industrial stalwarts Pop Will Eat Itself stateside. Nothing Records was distributed by Interscope Records, and owned by Universal Music Group. Finding any merch related to Nothing Records is near impossible today, making authentic pieces rare and expensive. For those of us who are nostalgic about the 90s-era of Nothing Records, this design serves as an inexpensive way to show your fandom of what the label produced for wel...

I've long been a fan of the Japanese poster style artwork for t-shirts, and I just kind of envisioned this particular one for Halloween one night and decided to do some work on it. Some assets are based on the original Japanese release poster.

Re-prints for an old classic Eyes of the Betrayer shirt design from the early/mid 2000s, using the old Peavey 5150 guitar head, with the knobs dialed into Ryan Beye's birthdate. RIP.

Wanted to re-prep this to look closer to the 1992 tour shirt, without a black, in black and white, with the logo and symbols from the record.

Godflesh parody design based on my undying love for my pupper, Aerith the Dog.

The Kansas City Kings were a former NBA basketball team originating as the Rochester Seagrams in 1923 before becoming a part of the NBA as the Rochester Royals in 1945, then eventually the Cleveland Royals before relocating to Kansas City in 1972, changing their team name to the Kings, as to not create confusion with the Kansas City Royals MLB baseball team, and officially starting as the Kansas City-Omaha Kings and eventually settling as just Kansas City Kings in 1975. The team relocated to Sacramento, CA in 1985 and has remained there since, but Kansas City still holds a deep seat in its heart for the former team that consisted of star players such as Nate Archibald and Toby Kimball. The Kings are also one of the longest runnin...
