Event Posters

This is the “fun zone”. The most intuitive, sometimes nonsensical and least inhibited work. Most of these flyers are for local events created for zero profit other than to promote the event. Some of them use “found” imagery from a patent or a science fiction book covers or inspiration from an illustrator I stumbled across. Some things are illustrations I’ve created myself. This part of the portfolio along with the album covers are intended more for myself to have an actual compiled space where these posters live… I’ve done so much scanning through I think 7 external hard drives to get this together in one place.

This is a case where I found the work of artist / illustrator Bob Pepper and made some quick-turn flyers for this series, each taking usually couple of hours from start to finish. I think they turned out nice as a series of posters, but I would like to reiterate they are not my personal illustrations. Honestly I think this mockup is cool and a nice lead in to the work below.

New Fumes / Def Rain / Atop poster - organic textures photographed, digitally layered and manipulated. An exploration in typography, legibility and balance.

Still image from the film digitally manipulated with vector treatments combined.

This is a representation of the sound waves all of these electronic artists create intertwining in an organic yet mechanical mass. I wanted it to be clean and somewhat chaotic at the same time. The wireframe is a vector illustration style I came up with years ago using drawn shapes and blends mimicking some sort of wire mesh being crumpled arbitrarily.

This poster owes everything to Kazumasa Nagai. At this time I had come across him and his masterful designs and honestly this one is very much in the realm of thievery. I was thinking about minimalism, meditation, and potential

Another poster with inspiration from the graphic artist Kazumasa Nagai combined with the anime classic Akira and the concept “the music is the drug”, but I think the message may be a bit lost. I still love this image, sometimes with these band posters it’s easiest to make something that maybe is more of a visual question or doesn’t have a clear meaning but it just looks cool??? This is up for debate.

This was a fun event at the TX Theatre, the concept was to create an early 60s style screen printed poster for this boxing event. When we got to the phase of the actual process the client revealed the budget and this quickly became digital printed and web imagery! I think in the end it was “close” but to really achieve the style it would have required a bit more time than the client was expecting.

This is obviously some sort of OCD torture to create.
