5071 - MOUTHBREATHER I couldn’t go through with the name change, these things have been called “Mouthbreathers” since 2013 there’s no use changing now! Ripping, dusty silicon overdrive and fuzz. Voltage bias control for Q2 in the fuzz circuit for a big sag. Pull back your guitar volume for clarity and bite, or go wide open and gnarly. These are all sold already but I’m always making more! Next board is gonna be a slight redesign and then I think I’m finally done messing with this design after almost 10 years. I finally have pedals stocked in the shop, take a look if you missed out on this batch, or message me on here if you want to get in on the next round! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKVNfbolkjA/?igshid=qks6avpucwg7

More portraits from the holidays. This ones for @c.j.brooks ❤️❤️ Swipe for a look at some digital erasing. I don’t know how some of y’all erase over ink lines, mine always get smudged when I try. Erasing digitally has been a nice alternative to ruining everything. (The Wacom tablet I used for this won’t connect after updating my Mac OS to 11. Does anyone have any solutions for this??) I’m having a lot of fun doing portraits like this. I can reproduce any photograph you want! Your loved ones, your doggy, your family home, your vacation spot. They make touching gifts! If you have something in mind and would like a hand drawn portrait or landscape for your home or for others please reach out! I can work within your budget. Check out spiritwas.com for more illustrations and commissions. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKOevhFh8k/?igshid=1ak1jn3nawvzq

✨MY FAMILY✨A holiday gift for my mom. (She hasn’t received it yet and isn’t on IG so any other family out there shhhh 🤫). Slide for a funny comparison with the original pic. I do all of these by eye! Really nailed my dad. Look at my ear and you’ll see how I accidentally enlarged my already super large dome. I’m having a lot of fun doing portraits like this.

Excited to finally share this project I was lucky to work on during total lock down in March. @jasperboogaard has been super supportive of all my projects and I’m really happy we were able to work together on album packaging for his project @nagasakiswim. Thanks Jasper! Jaspers also always showing love on his page @ambientcuration check it out! This and a bunch of other projects have been added to a special section of my website dedicated to commercial commissions. If you’re in need of art or design for any project you’re working on I would love to chat! I can work within your budget. And don’t forget you can use my code “NICKCOR5O” for 50% off your website on portfoliobox.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHu3kVF9-_/?igshid=mzetydgmgn9l

I’m really happy to say a service that I actually really like has reached out to me about a promotional sponsorship. I spent probably 5 years trying to lock down a reliable website builder that I could use to post art and easily update my portfolio. I tried most of the big providers but 2 years ago I landed on @portfoliobox because their prices were so low. A “light” yearly subscription is less than $1/month for 100 images across 10 pages. I’ve been using the “pro” account with a yearly fee of $8/month. Setting up the site was the easiest time I’ve had trying to do this and I’m very happy with how my website looks and how easy it is to update. I have absolutely felt no web experience. They have tools for selling online and running a blog, and it translates perfectly to mobile. For the next year, until Januarry 2022 you get 50% off with my promo code “NICKCOR5O” Here’s a breakdown of pricing with the discount: Yearly Subscriptions Light: $0.50 / month Pro: $3.95 / month!! Pro Plus: $7.45 / month Monthly Subscriptions Light: $0.95 / month Pro: $4.95 / month Pro Plus: $8.95 / month To compare, Squarespace is $12/month for their cheapest yearly plan, and $26/month for their “Basic Commerce” plan. So switching over can save you at least $8/month (almost $100 a year!) I use the pro account, have a big portfolio up with no concerns of reaching my limit. Running a site like that from $5/month is wild. You even have 2 weeks to try it out before you commit to the month. If you’re looking for a site to host your portfolio or sell something you make I actually really recommend this hosting site. Take a look at my site at spiritwas.com and have a look for yourself! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCdre8luXm/?igshid=ddqlj1oo4qp5

Gonna have to settle for industrial greenpoint sounds until I figure out how to get music on these. More RANGER https://www.instagram.com/p/CJlexjzlgox/?igshid=z2pv8mwfk1pi

[spiritwas]

Just finished 3 of these RANGER overdrivers. $220 plus shipping. Message me on here if you’re interested before I put them on band camp next week and we all have to pay fees. From spiritwas.com: Based on the Dallas Rangemaster transistor overdrive unit made famously in the United Kingdom in the 1960’s. Originally designed to boost top end specifically, but modified here for a more full range. These include a single vintage MP38A Germanium transistor from USSR, and are individually biased by hand. Responds dramatically to your guitar’s volume knob. At full blast can sound like honking fuzz, but reeled back even slightly can provide a very nice, dynamic overdrive even at lower amp volume. The design features an original illustration etched in copper on a printed circuit board. Hand made in NYC. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJkO8kRlPop/?igshid=dm6xe63g2wsg

Some recent design work for the undeniable @tracemountains bucket hat. Dave has a lot of really cool stuff for sale, some of which I was lucky enough to do some design work for! If you need designs for your band or any kind of project I love doing his kind of work. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEIT6SlGk4/?igshid=1lhpjtzogao5w

If all goes well I’ll record this album next month. 🏃🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpPpZJjoxY/?igshid=tixtpqoh6n1l

I’ve been very fortunate to meet some very true and inspiring artists and art patrons along the way. Ray @boratvoice has always been so kind and supportive and brings an unbelievable, unrelenting energy and love to what he does. Ray single handedly facilitated the filming of the “Golden Soul” music video just for the hell of it and was so friendly and helpful during the filming. Congrats to Ray and @rebchal on your anniversary and your beautiful lil family. Thanks so much for reaching out to me to be involved in this project and thanks for being so patient!!

First drawing I’ve been happy with in a while. Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ve been sleeping on micron (005) this whole time. Feels so good! https://www.instagram.com/p/CALkmhuj4Es/?igshid=dboibyhbakxr
