"Power B" in Weyfarers Magazine

Where have you all been? If you've kept your ear the main vein of the streets, you would know war is coming. Civil war. For reasons we continually ignore, including police brutality and institutional racism. Power B was a poem I wrote in my second year in uni., detailing my experience with a pig. No premise to search me and in the end, the same vile male officer that put his hands on me tried to impersonate his inspector over the phone to squash the matter when my mother called on my behalf to complain... the Police Inspector in Maidstone, we found out later, was a woman, not a man. How relevant seeing the Draconian Warlord Gunrunner and his minions want to deploy barely diluted Ghadaffi-tactics by bringing in water hoses and rubber bullets. I'm gonna stop there cause if I continue, I know I'm going to start to have a bout of turrets with 'Cameron', 'Clegg', 'ConDem' and 'pig' interjections.

Enough hogwash, Power B is in the Weyfarers Mag. 111, a poem that also features in my first published ebook of poems: Harbinger: the Medium and the Message. Didn't know I had a book out... check me out on facebook... have a look on the various social sites Harbinger is on in the side bar. Join, like, follow, curse.... whatever you like. Also will be posting an animation clip that appears in the ebook itself on the Facebook group page and Facebook Harbinger Page... and Twitter. Yeah, Harbinger is on Twitter too.

Sum up,
Never follow man's law

21 Balloons Story Art

Did some boards for a short film entitled '21 Balloon' At the very least, boards are done by me so in that instant the director is at a good start.

Story Art Done. Animation commends. Pockets empty.

Sum up,

Palmiers and Gingerbread Men are nothing before my tremendous might. Look how they crumble!

"Little Brown Boy" cover art

Hey guys,
Buried under some ish work, so this ones gonna be short and sweet. Did some graphic design work for an acquaintance. Seems like tis the season for self-publishing. So did the cover art for his book of poems and other stuff. Book's entitled "Little Brown Boy". Tell me what ya think?

Sum up,
More boards up soon!
And videos!

O'Grime

Oh, yes. As you all know, I did an ident for Mupalia Pictures, played around with their logo, and now it fronts this brash, balls-out video that punches you in the temple and doesn't apologise- O'Grime's O'Grime. I repeated myself intentionally:


O'Grime - O'Grime from Mupalia Pictures on Vimeo.

See if you can spot it. *Hint: It is at the front. The beginning. Yeah.

In more talks with Alex of Mupalia Pictures about a live action/animation vid for a rock duo which is quite interesting... It's 2008 all over again. Minus the Baileys.

Reunion Revisited

Thought I'd share some snap shots I got from the director/producer of Reunion, I film I storyboarded earlier this year. If you remember I shared with y'all the boards:

Now the behind the scenes pics:

Sum up,
Happy Hunting,

Kids With Guns

Storyboard time again friends. This time for David Clark. Cool guy. Worked with him on a project with Natasha on Reunion earlier this year. He sent me snapshots of that and it looks like its coming together in a big way. We digress.

The boards was for a short narrative about kids with imaginary weaponry. Look-a-here:

One more thing.... Free POSTER!

Ooo, yeah, it's my birthday bizzitches!! Who want's a free 'Revolution Poster'? You?! YOU!? +1 this blog and drop a comment and you'll get one.

Sum up
+1 +  comment = free poster! (while stocks last). For those that abide by the 99% rule.

Mupalia Pictures Ident

Mupalia Pictures responded to a networking email I sent and wanted to see what I could do for them in the ident department. Came up with this little animation and Alexander liked it. What you see is a lead up to the final render. I basically took their logo, broke it down to its elements and added a few of my own. All in all, was ok. What you guys think?

Sum up,
I did it so I could one day hold a business call overseas while smoking a cigar, drinking martini in a bathrobe while overlooking some vista and barking on a satellite phone "You think I'm enjoying this! Decisions need to be made. I'll take care of it when I get back"

The Shot- Poster Design

Poster Design I did for free for a Warren. The film is 'The Shot' and apparently it's "Momento with Alphabet Pasta". Don't ask. Won't tell...

Sum up,
Lederhosen!

'Albert' Story Art

Story Art for a short I did entitled 'Albert' for a Rebecca... 'Good' I think? More free renders for faceless strangers. I'm such a nice guy. They are lucky I am not like Don Corleone. We digress...

Sum up,
"You, come to me, on the day of my daughter's wedding, to ask me this..."

The Proposal... Final 1 I promise!

Remember The Proposal Cover Design I did.... well the client went for the first one again. Took elements from the second design and here's the final product:

The second design in case you haven't seen it:

Sum up,
Couple boards, couple meetings, sold some ish on zazzle. Check me out! www.zazzle.com/bluntspear

100 th Post!

Honestly, I wish there was something more epic to put up for the hundreth post of the Blunts blog. An epic piece of art. Or even a giveaway. Alas, I'm poor and broke (it had to be said twice [like how Jesus repeats]) so you'll have to settle for some more previs work I did for the feature I've been brought to work on.

The sketch:

The Render:

Sum up,
"Ring of Smoke broke..."

The Proposal

First render of a cover design for an anthology of poems by the Black Rainbow Group. The book is entitled ‘The Proposal’ and is supposed to explore the effect technology has had on human love relationships. All that jazz. Cupid was the first thing to be digitally painted…

Then did rest of cover and text:

Ended up using another design which took me less than an hour, compared to this cover that took couple of hours. So goes inspiration and ideas. Sometimes the best are also the simplest. 

Sum up,

Dreading Editing.

Storyboards for 'Cry' Music Video

A lot of prep work went into making the 'Cry' vid for Phalla C, so thought I'd share some of that process. Being a story artist had to put my hand in it. Here are a few boards I think you'll like it.

Remi and I even had to shoot a separate film to be used as the projected image on my trusty Vado that I won in a competition. Ah, karma, stars in alignment and all that qi ish.

King/Wilson Music Vids

Been on set with Remi King on this Phalla C 'Cry' music video shoot and it went well. Stil, DOP and Louise, Producer were a big help. Goddamn troopers. We are in the trenches, bizoy! Went in.Went well. Nothing quite the same as seeing ideas you help birth grow into something great. We're gonna start editing that mofo next week, also along with a promo video we both shot for Phalla C a week or so prior to the shoot. GFX is on its way on that too. I'm trying, dudes.

Sum up,
Hella short after such a long respite, I know. Also designed a book cover and concept art for a feature which you'll soon soon. Promise. Cross your heart.

Concept Art for a Feature

Thought it wouldn't hurt to show some of the concept art I recently did for a feature I've been brought on to. Will be storyboarding it as well. Pin my medal of valour high on my chest. Let's go to war. IED placed under a narrow dirt road....wait for it....then KABOOM!

Layers on layers, colour, tone, light, multiply, add, linear light. 9 images in the space of 4 days. All in all good stuff.

Spent too much time looking for pictures of methlabs. I'm probably on a law enforcement database somewhere.

Sum up,

That's all folks

Doc Heads is going Live!

I'm back. Literally just finished 9 production drawings for a feature film in the works. Feeling great, as boards are to follow. More on that later. As you may have guessed, can't go into more details, oh, sometimes working in film makes you feel like a spy. Images though are top heavy, can't wait to really dig in.

Anywho, Doc Heads' presents presently got the go ahead, so expect some filmy doccy class on current. That aside you'll see some o' my GFX... having designed the logo donkey years ago helps as well. Lesson to the wise, always put out the best at that particular moment in time, whether you are working for fee or free. Look at the ad space for the program:



Starts September, 25th 9 pm. Sundays. Gotta love it. Good job Tristan.

Sum up,
Production drawings are awesome, Harbinger the ebook is Live on Amazon, iBooks, Reader and Nook. Good stuff, busy month ahead.

Bluntspear on Society6

Thought I'd see what it is about. Definitely more artist orientated, although I did find having to save as jpg a bit annoying. But you get over that quickly when you see some of the really cool artwork that is up there. Hopefully I can add to it. Check it out: www.society6.com/bluntspear

Sum up,
4 x 1 relay. Jamaica stand up. Too hot to stop.
