Alternative Craft Fair

Hey, Fridayafternooney, wake up. Mark your calendar, the Central Mass Roller Derby is having a Craft Fair. Even if you don't think you're interested, it's worth it just to attend. The CMRD will be there and from what I hear, the space where it's being held is the former set from the 'We Got The Beat' movie that was filmed here. Plus I made this nice poster for them...how can you NOT go?

Fish!

Drivers on I-290 West through Worcester can see a new billboard illustration I just did for the Sole Proprietor, a great local fish restaurant. This was a good one, straightforward and fun.

Struggling with some other stuff lately, how ridiculous I can get without going too far...

Spelling

From Worcester Magazine:
In true blog fashion, the spelling, grammar and punctuation of these selections are to the individual poster's tastes.

If that's true, then who the hell is Derek King?

Hey, you. Go buy this.

Tonight, my friend Heather is holding a fundraiser, the Dreaded Event. A rock show with auctions mixed in. I made this for the event:

Go bid on it.

Show your work: Nytmare edition

As many people know, I work digitally and take screengrabs as I work. Click here to see the latest animation, for last weeks' Nytmare poster.

Couple things to notice. I originally had the hero fearlessly jumping at the monster, but that wasn't really working for me. So he came forward and got entangled in the muck. I saw this picture of this roman sculpt when I was little and it's always stuck with me. Something so calm and cool about all three of them: 'Stupid serpents of evil, we're trying to talk here!'

Also, there was going to be a chick in the image as well, but as I was drawing her, I just couldn't wrap my head around the narrative. Too complicated without actually being interesting. Same thing with those roots. Too much.

Also, during the build, you'll see the text turn on and off. I dropped in the text early, knowing that I wanted the composition to be 50/50 text/image, but kept it shut off (hidden) most of the time because of the gritty complex fonts. They tend to choke Illustrator. I like that program because it really moves at the speed of thought, so it's just an efficiency thing.

Have a pleasant weekend.
