gig-posters-1

So here are the first two gig posters I was asked to create, for Tom Williams and the Boat, Jose Vanders and others. I am pleased with them but I think it’s just a start and I have much more to come. I’m hoping to screen print at least one of these posters.

In the meantime, I’m still looking for more gig posters and album artworks, t-shirts…any music related artwork. Still undertaken for FREE, so get in contact!

record-covers1

It’s been occurring to me more and more recently that I should actively seek to combine my love of music with my illustration and design work.

Maybe I should get a creative job in the music industry but what I’d really love to do is run a record label with someone, because it combines a great mix of disciplines: publishing, design, marketing, music, organising gigs.

In the meantime, however, I would like to continue to push my print design by undertaking creative work for bands in the form of gig posters, album artwork etc. So I’m after any commissions for bands for FREE (for the time being).

I am able to create all manner of special packaging for CDs and LPs, custom shaped cutters, special inks and finishes (my day job has been packaging design for the last 16 months) plus I use illustration, photography, 3D and type. Plus I’m doing screen printing now. I have created a set of covers/illustrations/printing on Flickr to give an idea of what I’ve done so far.

So get in contact and let me know what you need!
