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.

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)

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.

Random Sketches: Episode #1

Top: Ninja Newt is a sketch I had done about a year ago. It was a drawing I drew for my pet newt who had escaped some how and is most likely dried up in the wall somewhere. Poor little guy, this is how i pictured his escape.

Bottom: This is a resent sketch I had done with pencil and ink. the tittle says it all " coon-hat"

Burger T-shirt

This is a T-shirt design I was asked to create by my boss, at my current job Chuck's burger bar.

I make so many burgers a day I drew this one without a reference. But when I had completed it I realized I forgot the cheese. Instead of redrawing the whole thing I just drew the slice on a separate piece of paper, scanned it and used photoshop to put it on. 

and Dont worry I never forget the Cheese when I'm actually working.

Thanks for the views keep checking in!

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!!

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. 

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!

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.
