Heres the full details of the Kemistry Gallery exhibition. I did the the poster of Serpico below and also a little extra piece - Saturday Night Fever. It runs from Thursday 16th June until Sat 2nd of July. Pop along if you get the chance.
A limited edition of each artwork will be available for sale at the show, then when the show ends LWL be selling the prints in a dedicated online shop.
I wanted to try and capture the real sense of isolation Frank Serpico feels so went for a simple black background with Pacino looking directly into the camera.
Check back tomorrow for my take on Saturday Night Fever and full details of the exhibition.
I'm going to start posting sketchbook work on my blog from now on. I think its important to show the working process so I'm going to start showing everything from very early working roughs, collages, typographic and graphic experiments and variations of work that has never been published.
I'll be putting new stuff up every week now (promise!!) so check back to see work in progress on a variety of projects. Heres some sketches + graphic pieces of early work for Kyocera and Pentagram.
Been really busy lately. Here's a few new pieces I've created over the last month. A piece for Adidas for Saatchi, a painting of Keith Richards and a sneak peek at some artwork I'm doing for a mates band for their upcoming album. There's also a cover for this week's New Scientist which had a similar theme to a piece I produced before for them so they just wanted me to tweak an earlier sketch I'd done to fit this article.
Here's another one for Little White Lies. Its of Javier Bardem for his new film Buitiful. Again the guys at LWT wanted it pretty straight up and representational with no real extra elements. Sometimes its really nice to sit down and do this sort of illustration. A challenging brief is great in terms of testing the old grey matter but sometimes just chilling out, sticking some tunes on and painting is the way to go.
Here's an illustration I've just done for Little White Lies Magazine and Grolsch. Its of Guy Pearce in the new Australian thriller Animal Kingdom. Loving that tashe baby!
A Guardian Guide Cover I've just finished about how the internet has made music videos relevant again.
