Fight the Devil

I love making propaganda posters. So much that I think this is the third one I've posted so far on this blog. Anyway, my good buddy Torrance Reed, (check out his sick work here as well as his version of the poster) did the awesome illustration of the preacher that I used. It was very cool collaborating with him on this piece and I had a good time with it. Hope you all like it. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Sin City Posters (Children close yours eyes)

My last post was a cute frog. So now the universe must be balanced by some edgy stuff. Okay, maybe not. But If there's one thing I pride myself on, its trying out new styles and growing my versatility as an artist. So here we have a couple Sin City posters I did for the next couple of planned movies. Now if you've seen the original Sin City, you either hate it or love it. There's no middle ground. I've always liked the comics due to Frank Millers amazing writing and stark black and white images. The stories are classic film noir with a new age spin which I liked alot. And they captured that in the movie perfectly. Are the stories bloody? Yes. Morally Corrupt? With the exception of a few noble characters.... Yes. But you can't deny its good writing and some really cool stylized visuals. The movie helped pave the way for another one of my favorite Frank Miller stories. (300) And so I felt like experimenting with that style a bit. So here we go. 2 Sin City Poster designs, One with Angelina Jolie as Ava Lord in A Dame To Kill For. The other is Johnny Depp as Wallace in To Hell and back. These are my dream castings for the parts that have yet to be cast. Plus, as a bonus... one old sketch of Nancy Callahan I did a good while back emulating Frank Millers style of hard black and whites with splashes of color. And now back to your regularly scheduled wholesome stuff....

I've been Terminated!

Fox.com recently hosted a contest for the popular Terminator Series that just began airing. It charged fans to design there own poster for the series using supplied high resolution photos. Unfortunately they shot themselves in the foot by restricting the entries from using any original art or photography. This was my third entry into a movie poster contest. The first two were for the movies Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I was disqualified from those too. But it doesn't matter cause I had a blast designing these, especially making the fire. You could only enter one but I just couldn't stop once I had established my theme. I went for the nostalgic feeling I got growing up with the Terminator movies. That flaming skull coming from the fire was pure genius! So here they are, my disqualified Sarah Conner Chronicles Posters! I'd rather create a piece I'm proud of and break the rules then win a contest with crappy art man! Stick it to the man!
