Here’s a request from Matt Miner, who’s writing the upcoming comic LIBERATOR which debuts in June from Black Mask Studios, a comic book publishing venture which is co-founded by Mr.Brett.

I said that the next one would be from No Control, but it looks like I’ve lied. I’ll make it up to you all this June with some NOFX 8bit covers.

In other news, I’ll be releasing a compilation of short comics this August. They’ll focus on folklore and myths, and it’ll be a “pay whatever the hell you want” project.

Can’t afford a penny? I’ll also be accepting trades. Have an old box of Kraft Dinner laying around? Send it over and you’ve got a deal. Have a sack of diamonds casually strewn about your living room floor? That’ll also do.

Here’s a sample of the art style : www.shawndaley.ca/post/47784306925…mic-in-the-works

Finally, visit www.shawndaley.ca immediately and commission me to draw something for you. I’ll draw whatever you want, including (but not limited to) computer speakers, Spider-Man lunch boxes, original art by Ryan Stegman, a Pokemon hat, or anything currently populating my room.

Or maybe you just want Superman beating up Vegeta which is also kind of cool.

Thanks for reading this.

Q:First of all, great job on the Bad Religion chiptunes. Hope there's more to come! Anyway, so I wanted to ask, do you use actual 8bit chips (from NES, etc) to make your tunes, or do you use emulation on a more modern computer? Thanks!

Thanks for the question!

I’m using the YMCK 8bit plugin and Logic 8 running on an iMac. So there isn’t any actual 8bit chips being used. All of the sounds and noises are customized.

Sorrow. Probably one of the best Bad Religion songs of all time, and easily the most challenging to reproduce. Hopefully it turned out OK. I’ve lost all perspective on this one.

Without giving too much away, I can say that the next 8bit Bad Religion cover song is off Suffer. It’s one of my all time personal favourite BR tracks too.

I’ve got a nice little surprise in store for early June as well. 8Bit covers from one of the best punk bands of all time.

Let’s just say their band name starts with NO. Actually that’s too obvious… let’s just say their band name ends with FX. Yes that’ll do.

Finally, please stop by commissions page and let me draw some art for you. In between making 8bit tracks, I write and draw comics. And I would love nothing more than to draw something for you.

Enjoy Sorrow!
