Never Say Never: CD cover design

Never Say Never. No Bieber, this is not an ad space, so sit your ass down, and stop talking about how great your prepubescent, mindless fans are. It's the title of Gevano's EP. Dwight, the Exec Producer and long time friend of the family needed some design work for the artist's promo cd cover/ tattoo skin. Now imagine if the photos given to me were of the highest quality:

Sum up,

Mother Knows

Mother Knows... apparently not. If you have a child and you're a prostitute... living in house... well, it's not hard to judge anymore is it. A nice but disturbing film short by Kaya George. Met her through a mutual friend, very cool director. So recently did some boards for her film and she was happy with the outcome.

Sum up,
Also did some VFX work over the weekend. Exciting, self-harm-tempting stuff!

Goodbye... and Good Night (PreVis)

Currently doing some animation work for a music vid. Still in development stage and can't really say much, but the song is a good one. The kind of song where you gloss over it in the beginning but when you're doing the boards and listening to the track and lyrics you kinda have to stop and take it all in. Did some previs artwork of the artist. See:

Did some rough boards and the first draft of the animatic. Just need to wait on the other party, refine it and we are good to go.

Sum up,
Meh.

The 3 Principles of the Social Animal

Yessir, I did this little animation vid for an RSAnimate competition, taking an excerpt from a David Brooks lecture. Funny, he's a Republican, but speaks intelligently, not just throwing glittering generalities around.

Random factoid: statistically, the words that reoccur in the average democratic speech are words like 'health', 'education', 'budget/taxes' while the average republican buzzwords are 'terrorism' 'war' 'freedom'. So its a matter of holding your votes hostage and, as propaganda goes, a form of 'emotional blackmail'.

Republican: If you don't vote for me all hells gonna break loose. You're all going to die!

Democrat: Don't vote for me and your children are gonna grow up sick and stupid!

I could talk British politics, but America is just way more entertaining. Listening to news here just makes you want to shove a sawn-off down someone's throat. You know whom. Its PM where I am. Night y'all (see what I did there?).

Apprenticeship Campaign Storyboards

Did some boards for an ad campaign about slaver...kaff! kaff! ... I mean Apprenticeships. Yeah. One of my first jobs on peopleperhour.com, but that's cool. Even ended up doing character design so can't complain. Which made me use Illustrator, a program I hadn't used in like forever. Vector is so mathy-mathy. Have a looksey:

Turned out to be one set of 4 storyboards, but I powered through it over the weekend.

My Drugs are Free... and Watermarked (Story Art)

Hold your horses, freeloaders. Your boards are coming just sit tight and wait for the god to break your ass off with a taste. I swear they are like coke fiends. But here comes the slinger.

The worse form of Story Art is the one used to 'test' your skill. Like the extensive portfolio wasn't enough. Better you ask me to see my late great examples and leave it there. Nevertheless, the ronin sharpens his blade for the upcoming carnage.

Boards for a trailer:

Sum up,

My mind is the pyrex pot.
