Reflektor by Arcade Fire

Here is a piece I've been sitting on for months and finally got around to finishing. I was inspired by Arcade Fire's appearance on SNL. Since I'm new to using gouache, I didn't feel comfortable painting over the girl with the bluish glass. So, through the power of photoshop, I was able to combine the two images. Also, you can check out the performance that inspired the illustration below.

Fugazi Poster

This mornings music mix consisted of Radiohead, Daft Punk, OFF!, The Hives, Jay-Z, and Fugazi. It got my brain percolating. I wanted to make a poster. First I found some images, drew them up in ink. I threw them into photoshop, and with a little Wacom magic, whala! It's fun making posters for bands who don't need them.

Illustration Friday: Hidden

AKA Garden of the Gods and Cats. I've been working on this on an off for a few weeks but decided to submit it to illustration friday. This week's word is hidden so I thought this was appropriate. One of the things I really like to do is go garage sale-ing for cheap prints that people don't want anymore (for instance, this colored picture of Garden of the Gods cost me $1 with a wonderful gold frame) and then paint something into them. After I made a few of these, I learned that some artists call this detournement. I just like making them.
