New Drag The Lake Design

New Drag The Lake Design

This is not evil!

Not intentionally, i was going for the placid kind of horned creature…. also aimed for the offset style text to give it a bit of a natural print look rather than photoshoptastic.

took around 4hours.

Sinking Ship Promotions

Sinking Ship Promotions

This is a reworking of the design i had done previously for sinking ship promotions, basically had to design a myspace ‘header’ which is easier said than done. Using a Combination of photoshop, Illustrator and photography ii ended up with this, it took around 2 days to complete in full.

We Are The Ocean - Ready for the Fall

Hands! Hans !
Well, i was working on the album art, which is going to involve a bugger load of hand as the sea. I had to practice so i drew this hand to get my barings a bit more, on showing Jack (WATO) he like the idea so i ran with turning it into a CD cover. It was originally intended as a sketch, then a tee shirt and now this.

We Are The Ocean - Nothing Good has Happened Yet

We Are The Ocean - Nothing Good has Happened Yet

This took Forever!

The first bit of work i did for WATO, working with the idea of ‘nothing good has happened yet’ and the fact Jack (WATO) had told me what the song was about. I came up with the idea that this guy, that bad luck wont leave alone, has hit the final leg of his life. I was thinking that maybe he should be drowning but it would be obvious and i didn’t think anyone would expect him to be falling through new york, so there you have it. It referenced from a ariel photo of NY but i couldn’t tell you where, obviously buildings arent bendy either!

sort of got a multi angle thing going on to, try spinning it around

This is fairly self explanatory, what you may not of noticed is that with in the waves are birds heads, see if you can pick them out!

Remember the inlay that i did the other day? well apparently it was toooo cartoonie! so now i worked back into it to create this version in a wonderful colourie fashion.
I’m quite pleased with it because i suck at doing flesh tones these girls are a little bit to shiney but i figured its kind of cool? any way this will be out soon enough and i will let you know when.

This poster is for my friend Tom, who runs DTA Promotions. Basically, used Brain Ewing as a case study in my dissertation and i think his work has rubbed off on me a little bit, but no way near that guys talent!

Took just over 4 hours to finish this, everything thing drawn by hand then coloured on the trusty Mac!
