Art & Inspiration The Friday "HALLOWEEN" Art Show 10-26-07

Here's mine from the "art challenge" HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'all.Booooooooo......... -stick

 

Great show last week, and this is looking to be a good one this week as well.

Nothing Halloween oriented that's new, but I have been busting on a poster series. When I was in school I was highly influenced by 20-40's design periods and I fell in love with some of the Constructivist work I saw. I wanted to try some themes out in that style.

Using the classic addage that I've seen tossed around both Hotrod and Motorcycle promo stuff, I did some drawings that I in turn turned into posters.









I was trying to harken the WW2 poster styles with a commie (kamikaze) appeal. So nothing here hugely original since these types of things have been blowing around for some time, but I wanted to take a crack at it. I did spend a lot of time drawing these things out. I also just noticed the new Juxtapoz covers by Fairly Shepard which also heavily employs the Constructivist style.

Also, I'm working with coolstuff on a couple of ideas as well for a zine. One of the posters should be used as a cover for an up and coming issue.





And drigging up an older painting just for the season:



Enjoy!

 

Monster, I love the "life-like" frankenstien painting. Great work. Also, I am sure you had quite a headrush while working on the gasket sealer piece

 

Great stuff everyone. Where's Dan Barnett been lately? A few from the day job.

 

Widewhitewalls, I love your style!!! I want to put those on a 24 x 36 metal signs and hang them in my shop! I love old style communist WWII propaganda styled art! Wanna sell any?

 

And just cause it's Halloween time a few old "Monster" types.

 

That's great stuff, always thought that old People's type art was cool. Thanks comrad. This weeks art is great.

And here's take two (final will be done, eventoally, in color pencil...)
This is what I'll enter. It's a hand drawn sketch I finished in PhotoShop.
(and then some.)

 

Here's everything from page one of this weeks art show. I had an idea and tried it out....I think it looks cool seeing everything at once.

...anyone want to do the other pages, because I'm not going to.

Awesome work this week folks!

Jigger.....as always, cool stuff.

happy halloween

 

This is great. It would be awesome to have these done at the end of every week. Understanding this is a huge project, but cool to see the results as if in a gallery of all the work. I don't blame you for not wanting to do every page.

 

here goes

 

COOL IDEA!!

Im workin on the 2nd page man, no one beat me to it, I got dibbies!!! haha
