Will Ross CD Update

here is an update on the cd cover I created for local Musician Will Ross. I was given a copy of the CD and it turned out looking AWESOME! 

He soon after left on tour and got me to create his tour poster. Created so dates and locations can be written or printed on.

Random Sketches: Episode #5

Top: That Ink drawing came to me after watching a documentary on Frogs and tadpoles. Not exactly what a tadpole looks like but I already know what a tadpole looks like so I drew this.

Bottom: Not necessarily a sketch but was created in a similar way. It started as a green plaint spill that turned into the x files.

TOADHOUSE logo

This Vector Logo was designed for a local band. TOADHOUSE play great music and I think is considered a Jam Band. There feel good music and instrumentals blow my mind. I had a great time designing this from the sketches to the final Vector Logo

Reggae Poster

This poster for Anja productions had a reggae band headlining so I kept to the right color scheme, cookie cut a lion and you have a reggae poster. (wasn't as easy as described)

Concert Poster

I had alot of fun with this poster. I like how this turned out, and the character I created still makes me laugh. 

hope you enjoy!

Ska Poster

here is my latest poster I have crafted for a ska band popular in Hamilton. They are doing a one time only Reunion show where all proceeds go to kids help phone. I had alot of fun creating this, it took some research but I the finished product is perfect.

Poster Artwork

Here are a couple more Posters I have created for Ajna production company.

I had a lot of fun with these especially with the dino monocle. I was inspired by a poster from the 70s it was a Grateful Dead poster. The poster i had found had a gnome and all the information on its T-shirt. so i created a similar image but a dinosaur with a monocle and this what you get.

hope you enjoyed and come back soon!!

Band poster- Boston Pizza

The band is playing a show at the Boston Pizza around the corner and they got me to make the poster.

I kept it simple and and made it look summery and it turned out okay. 

The rep. at Boston Pizza was really impressed.

Cub Poster - Bass Reflex

Another instalment for the Bass Reflex shows. I really really like how this one turned out.

really simple design: texture fill for half and info on the other.

enjoy and please feel free to leave comments. 

Cd cover for indi. musician

This was a really fun job to do. A friend of mine is releasing an album or mix tape he came up with the whole concept and I just made it happen. 

Club posters

Freelancing for Ajna productions to provide them with club posters for shows that occur at different venues every other week. Coming up with a different design has been a challenge but I feel I am doing alright. there will be more as the moths go on.

concert and production co. logo

This is a logo I made for a show thats going from bar to bar putting on concerts. I got some help from Zack making it a nice clean vector. 

The production company that was putting it on the shows in somewhat new and needed a logo so this is what I produced.

This is now the final poster for the first show. the logo is different because it was before I cleaned it up.

I think it turned out pretty good. hope you all enjoy!

Concert poster

another poster for psychedelicatessin. I wanted to use the same image in the middle as the last ones but I also wanted it to look really different. I came up with this.

I really like how it came out! enjoy

Event Posters

Now that I had the logo and image I made them some posters for shows they had. used a lot patterns I don't really know how well they turned out, might be too much. Well don't know what else to say other then it was all created in illustrator.
till next time

psychedelic band poster

This is a band logo I made for a cover band of the psychedelic era.

They play a lot Zeppelin, the Doors, Pink Floyd, and many others.
I went for a lava lamp look.

I then went for some sort of branding image for the band.

I will be painting it on there band drum set to be seen at the show.
