What're you working on right this minute? I don't care what it is. Illustrations, prose, hanging a door, whatever. Post whatever it is in its current state of completion.

I think this was a little more than I should've bit off at this stage in my mass drawing to attempt a fire-lit night scene with collaged movie-poster style floating heads, but this is it sans the client supplied lettering:

Hi david; Sorry for letting our collab slide. I didn't realize how busy I would be with my business startup.

There have been quite a few collabs falling off the wagon this year.

I had one going (not for threadless) with garo too. Since that one has got a deadline, I decided to pick that one up first.



Apologies once again.

All about me

Ray Frenden is a self-taught illustrator with a penchant for monsters and the macabre.

Drawing from a childhood weaned on horror comics, detective novels, trashy films, and retro sci-fi, his brush and ink work hearkens to an older era.

That juxtaposition of old sensibilities for crafting line and a footing in current color and design trends make Ray’s work unique.
