I haven't put anything up here for over a year for stupid reasons but mostly because I haven't done very much.
This is the poster I did on commission for a local band (Immoral) for their recent album launch. I'm not sure how much plugging i'm allowed to do so i'll leave it there.
Its a portrait of all the members of the band done in pencil plus black and red ink and the original is A3 in size. This scan is slightly cropped but that's not a terrible thing. I used photographs for reference but the street is actually Maryhill road in Glasgow and Westminister with Big Ben is quite far away from there lol. The quality of the image I used for the guys was really poor and hence some of the guys are out of proportion but despite this i've had some good feedback from it. So i'll be interested to hear what any of you have to say.
The idea for the picture was mostly the bands. They liked the black white and red of some Anti-flag promotional artwork so I tried to incorporate that idea whilst giving it my own twist. The crowd are the faceless, voiceless, masses I guess inspired by the title of the album. Generally though the overal idea was the band's the execution was my own.
