TRiK Skin

So my buddy Tim told me about the contest to design the TRiK system, and here is what came of it

New Laptop skin and an old class project

Figured it was about time to update this part of my blog, so I present to you a breakfast themed skin, and a camera lens Ad.



Here we have a marble tabletop, some food and coffee, and the distorted reflection of a hungry little boy.




A little desert themed camera Ad, I liked the contrast in colours so I based everything on that.

New Cereal Ad's

I'm coming up with cereal box designs aimed at the 14-35 age range, here are some concepts.


Nosferat-Os:
Using the imagery from the old Nosferatu film, I cast the box and bowl on the wall in shadow. Nosferatu is reaching out to it with his classic pose.


Munch Crunch:
A favourite painting of mine, the churning waters in the back will be a chocolate milk river and the land mass will be made of cereal.


Communist Crunch:
An iconic Russian war photo of the victory over Berlin. The flag bears the logo of the cereal and the pole is a giant spoon.

I decided to go with "The Scream" as my main idea, threw some colours on and erased some others

Business Card

Decided it was time to make some business cards for myself after doing a few for friends

Mohawk College Art Box

My design for an art supply box, for Mohawk College's Graphics Design classes.

My piece for this weeks IF.


- 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.

IF: Subterranean

This Weeks Illustration Friday, being "Subterranean".
Sort of inspired by Tim Burtons sketches... "The one hiding under the stairs" anyone?

Brave

This weeks IF was "Brave", so I made a warrior. Behind him is the fear he has to defeat before every battle, but as an internal struggle, its hidden behind him and his armor.

Perspective

This weeks Illustration Friday. Thought I would go back to a style we all used to have when learning perspective in art class. Bold but flat colours, and strong blacks.

Rick Court

This is my painting for Rick Court's blog. Holds his childhood to the construction of Mohawk. Check out the blog here

"Propagate"

Here is my Illustration for "Illustration Friday's" topic of the week "Propagate".
I went with the more political meaning. Planting and spreading ideas instead of plants. Its kind of how "The Man" was always trying to hold you back and put ideas into your head. I also used the sketchbook itself to add effect and tinted it yellow for an era appropriate feel.

Cereal Commercial

So here is my rough design for my storyboard.
Cleaned Up


And Final


Not much I can say about this that the script doesn't already say. Oh, and its in markers if you were wondering

Focus

So I finished up Illustration Fridays topic today. I had this exact idea in my head the moment I heard the word "Focus".

Cereal Box Design

I decided to do a modern version of Count Chocula.. So I put him in a business suit.

So I drew up a very rough idea,

threw it in Illustrator and played with it till it was done.

And thats how it goes..

Tragedy and Comedy

A simple stippling job for the masks

Sorrow and Anxiety

Ink drawings for "Sorrow" and "Anxiety"
Thought it would be fun to draw emotions I dont know very well and see where it took me

Venom

A quick concert promo Ad supporting Venom. Took the old Uncle Sam idea, but an altered version I found. I think it fits the band well.

Playing with colour harmonies

I made this for my girlfriend's birthday. Her favorite colour is purple so I decided to play with that idea. All done up in Illustrator

Wilderness

Last week our teacher set us up to a website called "Illustration Friday" and has us doing the weekly project that everyone on there takes part of.
The new topic was "Wilderness" and this is what I came up with.




Not bad for my first Illustrator painting

My first blog

If Santa were a headbanger, this is how christmas would truely look...
Yes he is in full battle armor, and yes, he is riding a polar bear... Its name is Krumpus


Any input or ideas?
