SutureSelf Band Poster

This here is a Poster I just finished for my buddy Brandon's band SutureSelf. He liked the last one I did with the band in the zombie apocalypse so he asked for another with "...maybe something with Vikings." Tried a different approach this time. I wanted to avoid a comic set up where I do the linework and shading  with black and grey and then lay the color over that. so I tried treating this one like a painting, still starting with a drawing but then building it all up with layers of color. this was really kinda hard but also kinda neat, lookin forward to my next digital painting already. I dont have a step by step for this one but i did find the rough sketch I gave to Brandon for the approval. so take a look, hope you enjoy.

I tend to throw mod targets on chicks alot. I just assume everyone is an anglophile. I really dig this illustration, it took a bit to get her hair the way I wanted it, or to be honest, to decide HOW I wanted it. I think I was able to get the dreamy, but not scary feel that I was aiming for. The actual print size is 11x17. I included a close up, of the confrontation in the piece. I used a combination of photoshop and illustrator for this lil number, hope you enjoy it.

Here is a family portrait I did for my friend Maribel who wanted something to put up for her house warming party. After giving her specific instructions on how to cut it out for a table topper, offering to include a template for that, and going over what paper to print on, she then decided to just print it up on copy paper and tack it to a board.

Scott walker drawing.

A drawing I did this morning of singer Scott Walker. I've been getting into his music a lot this year. ..better late than never.

This was just for fun. orange and grey is my new favorite color scheme. shes a cool gal i think, representing both the Marvel and DC universes. No petty side choosing for her. ...thats a mod target btw, not a "Target" target. She's prob waiting for the bus right now as its too snowy to take out the Vespa.

we'll make great pets...

these are illustrations i did as an assignment in class to promote adoption for the Anti-Cruelty Society. wanted to keep it simple by using as little lines as i could. I also wanted to get away from the sad eyed, abused animal angle, and focus on the rewards of  rescuing a pet. Also, I'm promoting codependency. So there's that too.

Dr. ...Who?

These guys are little posters i made for my friend who is hosting the Cyberkaraoke Britrock party at  the upcoming Chicago Tardis, an annual Dr.Who convention. i thought it would be fun to recreate some iconic album covers from a few of my favorite bands,and tie them into the Dr. Who thing. The top one is suppose to be the album cover of The Jam's in The City, and if you dont know who they are I highly recommend them. The second one is probably more recognizable. its a spoof of The Cure's Boys Don't Cry single (remix i think). i used to have this poster on my wall and its pretty much what i think of when i think of The Cure. I put in a Dalek because they are this alien race devoid of every emotion except hate which worked perfect with the title, plus a Dalek with Robert Smith hair is just plain funny.
