High on Fire Goodness

High on Fire is an awesome band, one of my favourites. So for my portfolio class I did a band poster for them. Here it is below with a bunch of detail shots I took. Everything was done traditionally with Microns on Arches hot press. I love that stuff. 

There are two versions, one with red text and one with black. I'm still not sure which one I prefer the most. Time will tell.

Here you go!

Chapter Headings!

Did some chapter headings today while I wasn't paying too much attention in history class. These are for my portfolio class. They're chapters from Christopher Moore's novel entitled Fool. These are just rough sketches and I'll be finishing them up this weekend.

Enjoy!

Foetus

I did an illustration for my friend Mel. All she said is that she wanted an illustration of a Foetus. So I obliged!

The Black Dahlia Murder

I finally have something post worthy, I will do my best to post more, to be honest I forget this blog sometimes. For a self initiated project over the break I decided to do a band poster for one of my favourite bands, The Black Dahlia Murder. I had a sketch in my moleskine for ages and then I finally got around to finishing it up.

I played around with pattern and line more than I have before, and I think this may be the most detailed piece I have done to date. In case you can't tell, it's a mutant elephant!

Below I have 3 variations, one without any text, one with red text, and another with white text. And then I have a couple of detail shots for you more dedicated viewers.
