freshly inked

this clip has had more lives than a cat over the
last few months and even though the clip changed bands
and songs and went through countless edits , in the end
we have a zippy little clip full of time lapse , long grass
cool costumes , bad cameos and amish kids dancing through
the night in the woods...now if you will excuse im gonna
go catch up on some sleep




also here's another behind the scenes pic
out on location

never mind the pollocks..

This artwork , as you can tell , is
very different to my usual work and was
something more abstract . the concept ( should
abstraction have a concept behind it ?) was a
rorschach test as possibly created by Jackson Pollock.

Are you a mexi-can or a mexi-can't

Firstly im so so happy for boy and bear 2011 and 12 ( so far) has been such an
amazing time for them and I'm pleased as punch to be still working with them..so the image on the poster is an idea i had a few years ago..
it was a kind of a "what if" moment when i fused the character from russell crowes film cinderella man with a mexican wrestler ...that waterfront look
with that crazy mask was an image that stayed with me and as with most things
with boy and bear its an idea i held onto until the right moment...
So i got my good friend andrew finnigan to pose for me and then held onto these images until the right job came along..thank god i did because the boys named their tour remembering the mexican and this screamed out as the most obvious choice

below are some other shots from that shoot

new is the new old

as you can tell i was stuck for a catchy blog title
so here is a collection of some of the tour posters
i have done in recent days , Stu and Tim are fairly straight
forward in design , Stu gave me a collection of photos
and i gravitated instantly towards the Wes Anderson-ness of
this pic ..the Howie poster was a little bit more of a stretch
trying to find a creative and dynamic way of mixing a head shot
with the album cover..
