Chk Chk Chk.


I was very excited to receive this project since Chk Chk Chk happens to be one of my favorite artists and I had the privilege of seeing them at Coachella and Outsidelands this year.

The first thing I was told was the design had to be black and white and really pop... something that could be spotted as you drive by it and know instantaneously (if familiar with !!!) that they were coming to town.

I kept a minimalist approach to the poster and of course made it my favorite size (11x17).  The entire design was created in Illustrator.  I added the different lines to help drive the eye towards the information... you will be seeing these all around LA in the coming week and I have to say I am proud to be working with such a great artist.

Currently listening to !!!, Soulwax and Digitalism.

How Would You Like Your Graphic Design?

First of all I did not make this.  I did however decide to post it after seeing it because this is very true and made me laugh quite extensively.

Vintage Cats.

Los Angeles based rock act Lysolgang contacted me for another show poster and I was excited to work on another project with the band.

After being somewhat swamped with corporate work it was nice to take a breather and let my creative side take over.

They were playing Cheetahs and I already knew exactly where I was going with this.  I wanted to take it back and make it sort of a retro poster feel... something you may have been handed on the street in the early 80s.

I drew the cheetah and female body in illustrator and brought the vector image into photoshop for final touched.  After that I looked through my  texture library for distressed film photos to place on top and work some magic.  Added a few half tone layers... worked some more magic and poof... the 11x17 print was born (you can't really see the outside white edge on this).

Soundtrack while creating... Röyksopp, Adele and VAST.

Vectorize This!


Bam!  SIR emailed me asking to work on their logo and presented me with this project.  They wanted to take a low res image and vectorize it.

After spending a brief time in Illustrator I moved on to Photoshop to add my magical touches.  Unfortunately the wrist and part of the first were missing in the original image so those had to added manually.

After a few hours of hard work and countless stokes the work began taking shape.  I think the lighting was one of the toughest things about the project but it turned out great and can be made into any size imaginable.

Currently listening to Felt, Metronomy and Adele.
