The Ask Jeph thread
Patrick:
I hate to necropost, even if it's only been a couple of days, but I am really interested in knowing if you still do music outside of your Deathmole stuff. I mean, I really like the Deathmole stuff, but I remember a couple years ago you did this absolutely stunning song called "5 AM" or something like that (it was posted to your LJ), and I was completely blown away.
Also I don't think I've ever seen a complete list of your gear collection. I understand if you don't feel like showing off, but man, I could use a bit of GAS right now.
Is it cold in here?:
Jeph,
What would the artwork look like if you'd achieved all your goals for developing your art skills?
Hmm. That was a dumb question. You're an artist, so you'll always be looking for ways to improve and therefore it's meaningless to talk about meeting "all your goals".
Here's a rephrase. What are some examples out there of artists achieving the kinds of effects that you want to master? What's a panel that made you think "I want to be able to do that"?

Yes.

Did you get a chance to meet the RT guys? If so what were they like?

Yeah their booth is usually right next to ours so we've hung out. They are pretty nice.

Yeah I actually just uploaded a whole bunch of non-Deathmole stuff to last.fm, I will link it someplace eventually. I'm actually trying to get back into doing more indie-rock type music again, metal is fun but it's important to branch out!
Current full gear list (and this is shameful, SHAMEFUL I know, but it's also all I really spend my money on, and they're all investments anyway):
Guitars:
PRS Standard 24
PRS Mira Maple Top
PRS McCarty
Gibson Les Paul
Gibson Firebird
ESP Eclipse (their "Les Paul Copy With EMGs" model)
Ibanez Prestige RG
Old-ass Korean Stuart Spector Design bass
Right now the Les Paul, the Standard 24, and the ESP get the most action, but I rotate fairly regularly.
Amps:
Engl Fireball 60w head
MESA/Boogie Nomad 45w 4x10 combo
Broken MESA/Boogie Dual Rectifier :cry: :cry: :cry:
MESA 4x12 cabinet
Carvin 4x12 cabinet
Software/Misc
Apple Logic Pro
A couple SM57s
boners
Line6 PODx3

I mainly wish I was effortlessly good at figure drawing. There are no artists I'd really like to emulate, per se, but I'm really jealous of people like Meredith Gran and Bryan Lee O'Malley for the way they handle cartoony figures. Stupid people with honest to god art degrees! :x

Man, I can't wait to hear this stuff. I used to pretty much stalk your LJ looking for new things to listen to.
One more question, then I'll leave you alone. Do you ever plan on doing collaborative work with other people? I'd love to hear what would happen if you took all your stuff and put real drums in, maybe a singer if you're so inclined. Clearly you've got guitar and bass covered, heh.

I'd love to have a real drummer, but he'd have to have his own recording setup because there is literally NOTHING MORE TEDIOUS than micing and recording live drums.
I have no idea if I could work with a singer. Certainly some of my songs would be better with vocals, but I'm kind of a dictator when it comes to my music so I'm not sure it would be super-fun for the other parties involved.
