'Dorm Room' Concept Art

Did a recent art render for @PalermoFilm , just something simple to help keep the wheels greased and all that. Check it out superfriends!:

It's ok, but to be fair, my dorm room was a lot more cluttered than this.

Sum up,
I am also updating the sandjfoods.co.uk website. More on that in the new year!

I am also on Instagram. Follow and share the love: www.instagram.com/bluntspear

Story Art for Credit Repair Ad

Hey dudes and dudettes. Check out some boards I did for DCreative. An ad about some stuff... yeah. Credit repair and all that. Check it:

All that lovely colour. Christmas is almost here, and more importantly, the 21st of December. Bad if you believe in all that Mayan stuff. Good if you have been tuning into www.lazarusrisingfilm.com

Sum up,

No one in the circle to trust. Thats why I know I'll survive the Zombie apocalypse.

The best gifts come in the Black Box

Hope you guys have been tuning in to www.lazarusrisingfilm.com cause that seems to be where I'm taking shelter from the nuclear holocaust that is the internet. Black Box, a promo to ... well... promote Lazarus Rising, is fast approaching release on your YouTube screens so I have been promoting the voice talent that sacrificed their time on the altar of creativity to help out.

Check em out on the Lazarus Rising website and like the FB page www.facebook.com/lazarusrisingfilm

Among the deft novices and growing talent, we have a few vets attached to the Black Box promo, namely voice talent Corey Macri (COD: Modern Warfare, XBox, BBC) and Joerg Stadler (Saving Private Ryan and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince).

Plus some more updates are coming on the site for Monday. Stay tuned fans.

Sum up,
Self worth is good, as long as it is not inflated.

'Good news everyone'... Meh.

Few stuff in the way of news.

Saw an edit for a film that I storyboarded donkey years ago "The Car" by Sacha Boxell. Another feature I storyboarded called 'Concealed' for an outfit in Austrilia is out of post and can I tell you there is a certain pride that comes with seeing your name in the credits, even if it's on paper [although I would have preffered a story artist credit for 'The Car' rather than a 'special thanks' (I couldn't draw 'special thanks' for the life of me) [I suck at pictionary].

But finishing up an edit for Lazarus Rising. Emails and the likes. My faith in these cogs and wheels are non-existent now though. But working through those issues now.

Imma go handle some business.

Peace, for now

Sum up,
Time is fleeting. Throttle it.

Everything works out better when you punch it.

Palermo Poster and other musings

First off:
Be safe to my American people dealing with 'Sandy'.

Black Box is a short promo I am working on for Lazarus Rising. Just did me a little poster, and it is looking quite boss, despite being just a mini featurette to be live only sometime in November/December. Keep an eye out for that. Other than www.lazarusrisingfilm.com, I have been drawing the last frames for Redman. The end is conceivably in sight. I know, been way too long.

I have done a few arty things, I guess another thing I can show you is a poster I did for another short film... Palermo. Might be storyboarding it as well, but we'll wait and see. Check it out:

Sex slavery, human trafficking and all that. Support Indie film and hit 'like' a man, me first:

Then pass the oxygen mask to the next indie beside you:

www.facebook.com/PalermoFilm

Did all the design elements for the Facebook, twitter and Website.

Sum up,
Oo, yeah, got me a badass Rode Microphone Videomic for my Canon DSLR. That's the thing with new gadgets, you just got to get the accessories.

Fair-Weather Friends Album Art

Candy asked me to design another album cover for her, I think its an EP, LP cant remember. So I put my hand to pixel and managed to come up with something decent. She liked it, and you can hear and see it all on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/fair-weather-friends-single/id566564430

Why, sir, I do think you are progressing.

Real Men punch it out

Check it out goons, some more artwork I did for a feature currently in pre-production. Fingers crossed and all that.

Currently trying to get a few promo pieces for Lazarus Rising together, and, as if by magic, all the requests for poster design, art, animation and everything creative come out of no where. Never the beneficial requests either. But hey I am the champ, where would I be if I didn't punch a few bobo dolls out once in a while, right? Smh.

Sum up,

Time burglars.

Digital Painting: Poppy Fields Concept Art

Some more artwork I did for a feature. Image above is the draft version. Final render has no snow topped mountains and has trees in the immediate foreground.

Gone are the days of opium. Now it's all designer this, and synthetic that. Our WW2 vets would be ashamed.

Sum up,
I see you. Chalk up one to the deusche in the corner.

Holidaymood ad Story Art

Story Art is all about narrative and composition. I am not the best in world, but I do get the job done. In the end.

Just another example of why I am a stand up type o' guy.

"Chang Mai Red Light District" Artwork

Check it, gang! New artwork I did for a feature in pre-production. Got to have respect for the kid's work ethic.

Sum up,

What work ethic?

Tuesday, 4 September 2012

POS? No clue.

Story Art babe. But not for film. A presentation. So what's it for or who is it aimed at I hear you ask? The buyers? The Estate Agents? POS? The QR Code? Estate Agent capitalising on sales? Meh. Enough with you questions and obscurity and enjoy my creative hand.

I've been working on a few things. Some things for the future. Little for the now. Hence the irregular/non-existent blog updates. Bare (arms) with me, comrades.

Sum up,

What you see is not what was first done... smh. Proportions people. This is not surrealism.

The Word is out. Again. For about the 3rd Time...

The Seventh Quarry with Dulani Wilson's poem "The Word"

The Seventh Quarry, Issue 16 arrived recently. And in it, near the end, like Revelations is The Word. Another poem in another magazine. The poem also appears in Harbinger: The Medium and Message, authored by yours truly, the #wordsmith. For the most part, I believe what you say has power. It just depends on the wielder. and that's what that poem's all about. As John 1:1 put it:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Sum up,
Desperately trying. Whenever you can.

Chick on a Rusty Bridge

Title sounds like a Country music hit. But no. Chick in 5th Element-style gear, some quick concept art for michaelmensah.com. For a experimental music video. Woopdidoo.

Still doing a bit of designing. Plus meeting the director of that Stefano music video I did some animation for to discuss boards for a feature come Monday. Let's hope I have enough change for the train. Lol. Ah poor.

Sum up,
Tired. My back and legs ache. Smh.

Design is simply Consistency.

I, the #designtyrant has been none stop on the poster and t-shirt tip. Joined Creative Allies and thought I would give it a whirl. And there has been some ultra cool stuff coming out of my head:

Like? Well check out this funky, sexy, blaxpoitationy, 70's-style poster I entered in the Dumpstaphunk 'Dirty Word' Competition:

Motherf*ck yeah! I entered a slew more. Check them out here: www.creativeallies.com/bluntspear

Sum up,
Get it in.

Beer, Nuts and the Fugly at the bar.

So much things to post, so little time. Let's start with this. Recently had a bout of Skype and Facebook convos with Pedge and Rosetta, hosts of the infamous Social Crime Radio (socialcrime.com) Funny, funny guys. Their internet radio channel keeps me sane through the day, listening to stand up comedic greats like George Carlin, Chris Rock, Patrice Oneal, Eddie 'Raw' Murphy and Richard Pryor.

After hours just chatting I ended up telling him I was ok with the Ps and I did a title page/video for a recording of a segment of their show; Pedge singing a rather articulate, thought-evoking medley entitled:

Great times, lol. I'll link the audio when they make it live. Be prepared.

Sum up,
"It's happened to the best of us"
