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...
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.
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.
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!!
I got the opportunity to design a t-shirt for the stunt and fight teams on the new Wolverine movie. After a few revisions and some back and forth communication the design wound up being pretty solid. Approx 300 t-shirts were produced and a limited run of hoodies. Here's the design.
And here's the t-shirt as modelled by the gorgeous Deborah.
Been listening to a lot of Maynard James Keenan's creative project - Puscifer of late, wound up doing this piece, so I consider it indirectly linked (or at least subliminally inspired by) the music. Check out their stuff, you can buy it on iTunes or through their website.
I'm pretty stoked!! Looks like I've been picked for issue 5 after all, now don't I feel like Chicken Little!
I Want Your Skull is a limited run black and white publication and website, that focuses on art featuring skulls. The following is my entry in the May issue. I didn't get picked, but hey, it was a fun exercise all the same.
The Final Piece, entitled 'Thug Life'
And here's a set of concepts, no particular order, although you'll notice I did start it in colour.
Over at the VTF forums a creative request was put out for some mini-card designs. Here's my contribution.
For those interested, check out the VTF community, it's a cool place to shoot the breeze about art, vinyl and creative pursuits!
Design 1 - The People's Republic Of Vinyl
Based on Chinese Propaganda posters, I used the base of this design for a promo for VTF a while back and decided to work it up into a mini-card.
Design 2 - Horrorpunk Roots
I make no secret of my proud punk roots, so here's an old school appropriated image horropunk style card, this one has caught a couple of favorable comments over at VTF and is probably my personal favorite too.
As always, comments are more than welcome.
Speaks for it self I guess, I'm doing a short series in this style, just for fun at the moment, but I'm working of turning it all a little more tangible too! More soon.
Produced this piece with S4ndman, it's his turn to mess with it now, but I thought I'd put it up here for worldly perusal. I think it would make a pretty cool art print.
S4ndman (aka Mathew Beers) keeps a vox blog that deserves the more appropriate classification of Online Magazine, Vinyl Addiction. He's also the creator of the Bully Boombu art toy and a wide array of very cool artwork and graphics.
As if that's not enough, he's also one of the major proponents of Vinyl Toy Freaks, an online community of Art Toy lovers, who discuss contemporary art, urban vinyl and anything else that comes to mind. The site also maintains threads by some of the urban vinyl industry's heavy hitters (Erick Scarecrow of ESC Toys, Sket One and MAD to name a few!).
Check it out. Comments on the artwork, as always, more than welcome!
I think the title says it all!
