After Effects of the Mutant Freakshow

nobody@vox.com(Francz V) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:05:53 +1030

It's Fringe festival time here in sunny Adelaide and as with every Fringe for the last few years we get to enjoy the Garden of Unearthly Delights, it's a pretty cool Carnival style set up. In this years Garden there's a mutant animal freakshow on. So not wanting to waste the inspiration I put this one together.

Well, it's been a while, and in the last three months my world has turned upside down. Here's a piece I did just before the calamity, posting some new stuff soon though, I haven't stopped drawing, just posting...

The Dragan Experiment

nobody@vox.com(Francz V) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:11:27 +1030

Although I only really post my illustration work on Vox, I do like to work with images too.

A creative friend of mine showed me work by a photographer called Andrzej Dragan and how he was producing some images that utilised a similar style to Dragans work. So not wanting to be left out, I grabbed a few stock photos and had a play. In both experiements, the original(s) are on the left, altered on the right.

Bulletproof & Trigger Happy

This is a portrait piece of the über talented designer / illustrator Sheima Hassanlou (aka Unikfrek on vox). Sheima works in motion design, print graphics and produces some of the slickest collage based illustrations on the planet.

This piece is a continuation of the style I used on the Moira Built for Noir piece, trying to push it to a new and crisp level and creating an image of the super sexy Sheima was the perfect inspiration!

Moira Built For Noir

I'm not the biggest social networker, but I do partake a little.

I keep a gallery of my stuff over at Trig.com, a fellow Trig member and online friend Moira posted this great black and white photo of herself, and on seeing it, I wound up finding some inspiration.

The exercise yielded an image I was happy with and also some more custom, hand lettered type. A skill set I've been fooling around with / developing for a while now and I'm aiming to do a lot more of it. Got to love some filigree.

It also was a testing ground for working with an etching look style (sort of in the dollar bill vein). The whole piece was a lot of fun, a good relaxation exercise and best of all the lovely Moira was pleased!!

After all there's nothing like a pretty girl and a little inspiration to take you on an interesting journey!

Custom Type / T-shirt Design

nobody@vox.com(Francz V) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 01:42:09 +0930

Ever get a goofy name or saying stuck in your head? I did... It was 'Meth Prophet'.
So I took a little inspiration from such an odd pairing of words and did some original typography design.

Followed by an illustration that I think would work on a t-shirt pretty well.

And I've been fooling around with colour, although this would have to be a 4 colour tee.

When a piece gets a life of its own...

This started out as a quickie for my Sketch Blog but wound up becoming an exercise / foray into digital painting and a much less cartoony style. So now I guess I'll show it off here!
