Sketches of the day, Sunday 9-13-09




So I am going to start trying to post random sketches and other things on here as much as possible, I'm starting out with a few little ones I did while working on my logo header. The Hawg one is based on my water cup I use for painting and inking, its an old hand drawn drinking cup from a gas station that doesn't exist anymore.

I did these while also watching a great Grindhouse double feature of "The Teacher" and "Pickup" I highly recommend these films for fans of the 70's and wood paneling, among other things...

Now that I have this up and running there is now going to be a gap in postings because I am boarding an Aluminum clad Escape Machine tomorrow night for a 10 day adventure thru the bay area and Yosemite National Park,with the always lovely Ms.Stephanie. So I'll be out of reach for a while.

Cheers,
Justin

Lesbian Final Poster


Here is the finished Lesbian poster.

Signed and Numbered edition of 50. 3 colors on a natural cream paper, the tongues are silver! Andrew Crawshaw at Broken Press graciously donated his time and materials in printing these for me. The print is gorgeous in person and the gradient turned out awesome. Please go here to buy one for yourself and all your friends and take some time to view the other items he has on his site, he does some awesome work.

Thank you again Andy, you rule!


I'd also like to thank Lesbian for giving me the opportunity to do this poster, and for getting me in to their show with Kinski this past Friday at Chop Suey.
I talked with Dan and Pete from Lesbian and had a great time drinking beer and hanging out.
Lesbian and Kinski did a group improv jam at the end of their set that was also pretty awesome, I highly recommend checking these guys out if you haven't already, and by all means go support them live!!

Here are links to their myspace pages and again to the broken press webstore

I also forgot to mention that while working on this poster, I stumbled upon a whole world of people who are really, really in to centaurs, just go ahead and start googleing the word and be prepared to take a trip, try adding the words art, erotic, or fiction to your searches and see what happens. Probably not work safe.

Cheers

Lesbian poster sketches




Here are some of the beginning sketches for the Lesbian poster I just finished, it originally started out as a poster for Jucifer with Lesbian supporting, but we decided to turn it into a poster for a show Lesbian was headlining with support from Kinski.

Sherp Sketches






Here are some Sketches I did while completing work on the Sherpa poster, I like it when artists show sketches and glimpses of what goes in to creating a finished work, so I'll be doing that here to keep the circle going.

First Post!

Hello,

This is my new blogfolio that is going to be my main vehicle for dissiminating information and spreading artwork.

I just Finished working on Two Posters, one for the Boise, Idaho band SHERPA, with former members of White Sound, and Farmdog, Dillon Wardwell and Rick Shodeen. They are going to be playing the Hyde Park Street Fair in Boise Idaho next weekend. If you can you should go support them.

I also just finished my first ever screen printed poster for the Seattle band, Lesbian. Andrew Crawshaw who runs Broken Press here in Seattle was more than kind enough to do the printing and color separation work for me.

I'll be posting images and sketches here in a second.

Cheers,
Justin
