Delta Spirit Poster

Concept tour poster for the band Delta Spirit, inspired by their song "Into the Darkness".

Van Morrison Poster

Concept poster for Van Morrison's upcoming album, "Born to Sing: No Plan B".

Andrew Bird Poster

Here's a poster for Andrew Bird's 2012 fall tour I did for another Creative Allies contest. I originally had a completely different idea, but it wasn't until I was pretty far along with that I realized it wasn't working, so I scrapped it and started with a completely different concept. I'm glad I did it, too, because I'm pretty pleased with the way this one came out.

CounterPoint Poster

Concept poster for an upcoming electronic/dance music festival, CounterPoint, held in Atlanta. The theme they wanted for the poster was "Industry Meets Nature". This design is meant to represent the 'spirit' of industry and nature more than the things themselves. When I think of industry, I think of straight lines, geometric shapes and repetition, as found in skyscrapers, machine parts, etc. Nature, of course, is represented here as being very colorful and free-flowing.

Creative Allies, pt. 2

Aaaaand here are the other entries I've done for Creative Allies thus far.

Album cover for the band Lovehammers.

Merchandising design for the radio station KEXP for Bumbershoot, an upcoming music and arts festival held in Seattle.

Another design for KEXP.

Michael Kiwanuka Poster

Okay, I haven't been doing a very good job keeping up with this blog so far... I'll try to do better. Right now, when I'm not at work (and sometimes even when I'm at work) I'm working feverishly on entries for various Creative Allies contests. (If you're a designer or illustrator and haven't joined yet, you should. It's pretty rad.) There are plenty of contests going on all the time, with sweet prizes, so there's plenty you can do. I'm just having a blast coming up with designs for CD covers and music posters. Anyway, here's something I made recently. It's a tour poster for the musician Michael Kiwanuka.

Ruby Sparks poster

I finally decided to get a Blogger for an art blog 'cause all the cool kids are doing it.

Welp, I thought I'd kick of this art blog with my entry for a Ruby Sparks movie poster contest happening on Tumblr right now. Whoever set the contest up seemed to forget little important details such as, y'know, deadlines, so I felt a little rushed to get this done.
