Poster post??

Wow. I don't post here anymore do I? Life's been busy as of late. With the band and the family, things get pretty busy pretty fast. But every now and then I do get the chance to draw. This is an illustration I did for a band poster. My wife April has been doing all the poster designs for us since we've started gigging and she's been doing an amazing job. You can check out some of the earlier ones she's done for us here..

This time we worked together. She did up a comp for me to follow using some photos of the band, and I set out to do a bad Drew Struzan impression. :) I did this Grey tone illustration and she took it into photoshop and colored it. Then a little type setting in Illustrator and voila. One poster. The illustration got a little rushed at the end, and you can see it come apart at the seams in areas, but it was a good learning experience. I'm not sure I'd jump right into doing another poster illustration at this very moment, but I think someday I'd like to take another stab at it.
