I’m the artist for this year’s GothCruise T Shirts! This takes place Oct. 23, 2011 sailing from NYC – Bermuda – San Juan on the Celebrity Summit. For more information about this great event and how you can sign up, click: http://www.gothcruise.com/

The client wanted a parody design based off of the “Young Frankenstein” poster with some specific alterations to the characters and scenery.

This is an example of the range of illustration beyond cartooning that I can do. If you want me to work on your project, refer to my “Hire Oni” page. Please note that my availability is limited until mid Sept. 2011 because I am planning and running Intervention in MD on Sept. 16-18, 2011. Approaching me earlier is better than later so that you can get a space in my busy queue.

Some of my favorite metal is very geeky. People keep asking me for recommendations, so here is the post.

1. Leaves’ Eyes: This band is all about Norse Mythology and Vikings. “Destiny” has a sad story:

“Elegy” has some Vikings in it. Lead singer Liv Kristine even did a badass song with Cradle of Filth: “Nymphetamine”.

2. Battlelore: My favorite Tolkien elves are Battlelore. Yes, this band from Finland performes wearing elf ears. Here is “Third Immortal”:

3. Nightwish: Tarja era Nightwish is epic. Here is “Planet Hell”:

4. Amon Amarth: “The Pursuit of Vikings” kicks ass:

5. Within Temptation: WT is a great Doom Metal band that went more toward pop, but is still good. They are known for their epic works based in mythology.

6. Delain is a supergroup made from members of many of the above bands, but they tour with their own band and singer. They tend to be more on the pop side of things.

Their duet with Sharon from Within Temptation kicked more ass.

7. Stovokor is a Klingon death metal band. Yes, really.
