In Progress, Lord Green?

Decided to revive some unfinished work and prep it for another possible print job. Lookin' towards Lord Green's direction for this one. They came by and enjoyed a heavy Thankstaking with everyone still lurking in Duluth. Ryan and I prepared a meal to satisfy any indulger.

Forgot to mention there are a few photos of the Glensheen Luxury Experience posters. Click the photo to get to the flickr!

DudeLife Winter Tour '09–'10

This 12"x20" monstrostiality is going to be on Poptone Black French Paper and the first to come out of my new home base—ment. Expect an edition of 50 or so 90% of which will be going on tour with the bands. I will have VERY FEW of these myself so go to one of their shows or contact them if you're interested in a print. Otherwise, I might have one or two.

High Life and Dude Nukem will be on tour next month so check them out if they're in town. Dates on the poster and on their myspace pages. Don't let the fleshless flesh eaters bite.

Student Show Submission

It's been a long while since I've posted. Sorry. Very busy. I'll try and post some things I've collected over the next few days. Mostly some font stuff and what not. I had to take a break from doing portraits.

Anyways, I've been working on a part of a submission for the design of this upcoming year's student exhibition poster/brochure/postcard. I created my own type based on a 2 units wide by 3 units tall grid with circles and 45 degree angles.

You can see the previous designs and some of the student work here. I'll try to do another design for a better chance of being selected.

Be back soon.

Cyan vs. Magenta vs. Yellow

I've been thinking a lot about the use of color in society. So I started brainstorming about how I could display a variety of color primaries and systems. This is an example of subtractive color, for example, common household printers right now use cyan, magenta, and yellow inks to make a limited range of colors. I chose to leave black ink out of this for a couple of reasons.

I'd like to expand on the concept of personifying color by doing a few pieces based on additive color(lights), munsell's color system (principle hues red, yellow, green, blue, purple), opponent process (white vs black, red vs green, yellow vs blue), and something based on textiles(bleach). I'll see how far I get!

Color Theory ≈ Theology

Color theory. There are a variety of theories that claim "primary" colors. The "primaries" define the gamut, or range, of colors that can be achieved when mixing them. Whether it be additive(RedGreenBlue), subtractive(CyanMagentaYellowKey(black)), more obscure(Munsell's color system or the Lab color space) or traditional artist dogma(RedYellowBlue), they all have their limits on the available gamut. No single concept proves to be an ultimate solution in the quest to fully perceive color. Our shortfall understanding of color has little history and continues to be observed.

Do not tell me I should not have faith in my primaries, for I will not tell you that you should not have faith in your god.
