Hey gang! Hope all is well, I have a few things to share with you. Back in 2012 I FINALLY got to perform at the Warped Tour with my band, The Scissors. It was a big goal for our band and when that happened, I was so happy.
Me and our gear in the Charlotte North Carolina Warped Tour parking lot. Hauling that gear sucked so bad!
I thought I might never get back there again but never say never ‘cause I’m BACK at Warped Tour! This time as a featured artist.
New work and prints on display June 13th + 14th at Vans Warped Tour D.C.
Look at that lineup of artists! WOW.
I’ll have a brand new painted guitar on display with Bayside as well. If you’re in D.C. - Be sure to drop by and see all the new work at the Punk Rock and Paintbrushes set up at Warped Tour!

I’ve been busy capturing some product photos and video for Epitaph records this year. One of the coolest things I got to do was attend a press check for Social Distortion’s new record “Born To Kill.” A day I won’t soon forget. There’s a video of it on my patreon if anyone’s interested in seeing how a press check goes down.
Original photography of Social Distortion’s new record by me.
All The Guitars! - This year introduced me to even more painted guitar work. I’ve created original art on fenders for Rise Against and Ice Nine Kills at Sonic Temple Festival and Welcome To Rockville. I’ve also painted an Ibanez electric guitar for Nu-Metal Gods, Korn that was auctioned off at Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas.

Hey look Mom, i’m in the papers!
Patreon (A working artists dream) - I create into my patreon on a daily basis by adding exclusive content of course, but also three original podcasts, original video series, never before heard original songs and video from the archives and much more.
Pretty much everything in there is available for only $5/month and it goes a LONG WAY to help us working artists. Browse around and see if anything connects with you in there. I love that platform so much. It keeps me inspired and creative in a whole new way.
That’s about all for now my friends. If you made it this far THANK YOU. I appreciate all the love and support far and wide. - Darren Vorel
