I have been contacted by The Portland Mercury to illustrate a cover!

(From www.portlandmercury.com):

The Mercury Is…
Like Portland, the Mercury is decidedly independent. Our pages offer an insider’s point of view that the city trusts. Bright, sometimes bruising, and undeniably funny, we detail local music, arts, and news with passion and authority. The Mercury is all over Portland; from restaurants to coffee houses, bars to clubs, theaters to retailers, laptops to desktops, and on every campus and street corner–we’ve got the city covered.

You can go here to get involved in the voting process! The cover should be out in the next week or two, available all over Portland, OR. You will also be able to see it here on zubko.com, for those of you in other parts of the world.

This should be a very interesting, fun piece.

I figured I’d take some attention away from the Batman/Shark piece for this post to shed some light on another piece that was featured in the io9.com gallery. This piece was done for the debut CD cover for a band I used to play guitar for in Philadelphia, Camp Dracula. Unfortunately, I moved to Portland, OR before I was able to officially record anything with them, so I am not on the CD. But I did help shape most of the songs on it. If you are interested in giving a listen, it is on . Click the link to check out the samples. If you want to download a track, I recommend one of my favorites, Stumpin’.
