Halloween Gig Poster

A friend directed me to a friend of his who needed a gig flyer done. I have always wanted to do gig posters (in fact, I did some practice ones here and here), so I was stoked to hear this idea about a hardcore-dancing fat Batman. If you're a local metalhead, be sure to come out to the show, I posted this niice and early so there aren't any excuses!

Amative Lyric Video

For the past month, I have been working on this motion-graphics video for the local band, Amative. This is the second lyric video I've ever made, and I look forward to many more! I will be open for commissions as soon as winter break hits, but until then, I am going to be focusing on school and helping a friend with their senior thesis.

I did all of the movement of the type in Adobe Flash, then I exported a PNG sequence. After that, I brought the PNG sequence into after effects and created a MOV file, which I took into Final Cut Pro - where I added the old-tv-looking effects.

Be sure to check these guys out - celebrate your local music scene!

Hardcow Series 1

Welcome to Harcow, Series I. I made 5 designs for 5 different local bands - for the hell of it. I believe in supporting fellow young artists in their attempts to go against the grain and run with what they love to do. We aren't much if we aren't in this together, and supporting one another - the music scene is a community that I feel a lot of people underestimate and look over. Growing up going to a handful of shows, I made friends and memories that I am really thankful for, and I have this weird instant connection to complete strangers who also went to local shows growing up... there's something about it that is really worth the few dollars you spend picking up a ticket or a cd.

Basically, I just want to say: guys, get out there and experience whatever scene your life has dropped you by. There's something going on and you shouldn't miss out on it.

These 5 bands are bands that I have talked to the members of a handful of times, and they seem nice. Worthy of a fun little piece of artwork to spread the word. I'd like to do another series of these the next break I have from school. I figure if the bands would like, they could buy these designs from me for a cheaper price than I would normally sell for. That being said, I plan on setting up a page dedicated solely to this whole "HARDCOW"-design concept.

I tried to use lots of new color schemes and lots of overlays of photographs, as always. Enjoy!
