Deleted Scenes - Camp Moda

Some very early ideas, back when lego was the main idea, I thought. The copy on the first one wasn't thought out at all, it was just filler. Then it was taken away, so beginning the camp moda saga...

Sheperd Fairey being Sued for Copyright Infringement

Yeah, so we have to be careful w/ the copyright stuff...sure, they're targeting him because its such a big, popular, and successful piece. But the copyright police are everywhere...

Check out my new blog

I decided to make a blog specific for any illustrations and sketches, so I can compile them in one spot.

BATMAN: The ANIMATED SERIES


Just the way this is cut to the music is awesome...definitely inspired me as a kid.

That being said, it is really hard to find any good movie title sequences on youtube without having to filter through repeat after repeat of the same video, re-edits, school projects, and countless fan-made Charmed title sequences...

Team Voltaren

Here's my football dudes for the project for Liz:


They started out as a hand drawing, then went through Illustrator and Photoshop. The logo on the helmet is the logo for Voltaren, and I picked #1 for obvious cheesy reasons...the logo on the second one is a little fuzzy, which I need to fix. The colors (blue and orange) are Voltaren's colors.

Movie Posters

I love movie posters. I love movies and I love posters...so it's a match made in heaven. Here are a few of recent memory that have caught my eye:

Friday the 13th

The poster series for the new Friday the 13th, coming out in February, are some of my favorites.

I love the basic poster because it allows the iconic hockey mask of Jason to do the speaking. It's visually striking, with the mask coming out of the black, and the typography is great.

The more complex poster is very striking as well...I like the typography, but the image is what really sells it for me.

Punisher: War Zone

The posters for Punisher: War Zone are very striking as well. The image treatment is great, as it directly matches the comic cover it's based on.

Gran Torino

I like black posters, I guess. The all black really projects the image off the poster, and thematically it suits the feeling of the film. A poster like this wouldn't work for the Love Guru or anything.

The Wrestler

The emotional image, the great typography, and the subdued colors really sell this film...the poster really shows that "The Wrestler" isn't what you might expect it to be.

The Express

Great, great poster. The cropping of the image, and the placement of type really make this a beautiful composition.

Rambo

Again, striking image cropped interestingly....and the type placement is shocking and exciting: right across Stallone's face. Really captures the intensity of the movie.

Wolverine Suckas

I've been trying to teach myself to color/paint in Photoshop, and this is my 2nd attempt. It started with a sketch of Wolverine, scanned it in, live traced it, and imported it to Photoshop, where I started coloring. It's pretty fun...like coloring in a coloring book. Wooooooooooo.
