Metal!

Time for a brutal update!

This first piece is a concept magazine ad for Fender featuring John 5, one of my favourite guitarists.

This piece is a concept concert poster for Venom, one of the first and most influential black metal bands.

 
Maybe I'll do some concept designs for the oddly massive amount of DJs out there now.. A lot of material to work from :)

Confess

A lot of the time, I'll do a sketch or digital rough before I start a painting. I was thinking about speech and how shapes change sound into words. I'll post the finish painting soon.

- Alittle something about this one...


"NEW YORK (CNN) -- His was one of the first photos of a missing child to appear on a milk carton. Almost 30 years later, Etan Patz is still missing.
Etan Patz, who disappeared in 1979, was the first missing child featured in the milk carton campaigns of the 1980s.

Etan Patz, who disappeared in 1979, was the first missing child featured in the milk carton campaigns of the 1980s.

Etan was 6 when he disappeared on May 25, 1979, the Friday before Memorial Day. He was on his way to school in what is now the upscale Soho neighborhood of New York.

It was the first time he'd walked to the bus stop by himself. It was just a few blocks away. Etan, like any 6-year-old, argued that all of his friends walked to the bus stop alone, and his parents relented.

His mother, Julie Patz, learned that Etan hadn't been in classes when he failed to return home. She called the school at 3:30 p.m., then called the homes of all his friends. When no one had seen Etan, she called police and filed a missing person's report.

By evening more than 100 police officers and searchers had gathered with bloodhounds. The search continued for weeks, but no clues to Etan's whereabouts were found. Video Watch an update on the case »

The boy's disappearance was one of the key events that inspired the missing children's movement, which raised awareness of child abductions and led to new ways to search for missing children. Etan's case was the first of the milk carton campaigns of the mid-1980s."

S.O.P.H.I.E.

About half way through the semester, we were assigned to design a new logo for a charity.
For me, the choice was pretty easy.. The Sophie Lancaster Foundation might not be well known in North America, but its been shown strong support in the UK by bands and others who understand subculture.
Anyways, here are three designs. I like the last one the most, but my professor wanted the second one done.

If you have some money to Donate, please do.

Anyone else hungry?

So I realized that since I'm still wide awake, (and so happy I don't work the morning shift) might as well post my cereal box concepts.
-Nex




Nuts N Bolts Cereal- The key to getting kids to eat cereal comes in 3 parts. Cool mascot, sugary coating, and fun shapes. Who cares if a robot can eat it or not? Its soaked in frosting :D

 Munch Crunch- One of my favourite pieces, and a tribute to my favourite painting.

 Count Chocula- A concept idea for a new Count Chocula box for a new health conscience generation. Storyboard included

Rabbit Skins! :D

I wish I had more time to work on skins, but I did finish these ones. If you like them and have a Mac, email me for a file.
-Nex

Space Viking- Because really, who hasn't wanted to be a space viking? Astro-Vikings must be intense...

BREAKFAST!!!- Pretty self explanatory. The jam took awhile to create.
