This concert has already passed but there were just a few things about it that I wanted to fix up before I posted it. There are still things I would like to change, but at some point you just have to move on. At this point I’m happy with the final result. Enjoy.

I was really excited to see this poster printed and on the guitar. This concept is something that I’ve attempted to create a few times but could never get it to work. Finally it all came together. They did a great job on the guitar and I hope the person who wins it appreciates it. The look on the guys face who won the last guitar made my day, I’m hoping for a similar reaction with this one.

It’s been a while since my last concert poster so I was a little rusty getting this concept working. I think it turned out pretty great and the guitar looks wicked! So here’s the deal, Elemental is giving away the guitar pictured below to one lucky concert attendee. You can buy tickets at the door or save $2 and go to www.TheElemental.com. From what I hear they are going to do a series of these give aways at their concerts, each with the corresponding concert poster on the guitar. I really hope I win one 🙂

I was asked to create two posters for the Live Set concerts at Hoppers restaurants. The first is for artists interested in performing at Hoppers. The second is a template for the artists who do perform. The artist image, album covers and dates gets swapped out for each new artist.

For this one I was asked to create a “Dark” vision for this poster. I was worried that maybe I took it a little too far, but I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback and I am thrilled with the result.

This was my concept for the Muse concert poster contest. Sadly it did not win but I was very happy with how it turned out, so I thought I would share. Nuff said

Here is another poster that took me several failed concepts to get it right. I really wanted to play off the choir boy image but with a dangerous twist. Like an avenging angel or a spirit seeking justice. Anyway, it turned out pretty nice with great color splashes and dynamic action. This again is a bit of a style departure. It has kind of a comic book cover feel to it, but I think that works for it.

This was a last minute concert poster that came together really fast, after a couple of failed attempts. I’ve been trying for, at least the last 4 or 5 posters, to put a female into one of my posters but they never came out right. Finally with this it worked out (however the character, to some, seems kind of androgynous. thought the intent was female). Despite having to put this together in one night, the more I look at it the more I like it. It’s becoming one of my favorites (I know I say that about almost every new poster, but that’s good right? It means I’m improving with each one).

So I altered my style a bit on this one but it was working so well I just went with it. I guess this would be the minimalist version of my usual illustration style. I couldn’t find a liquid splash that fit into the arch I needed so I ended up finding something similar and drawing it out by hand with pencil (turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself). This quickly goes to the top few of my favorite posters that I’ve done.

Another opportunity to design and illustrate a concert poster! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, concert posters are my favorite projects to work on. I like how this one turned out. The word “Caspian” brings to mind Kings and wizards, so I played off of that. I’m excited to see this one in print.

So I’m sitting at a stop light and this idea pops into my head. I held onto it for just the right opportunity. Then I got word of the Marcy Playground concert and I knew that was it. It turned out quite nice, a little darker than I had originally intended but it’s one of my favorites.

So another Elemental concert poster. I never get tired of doing these and I thought this one turned out great!
