An Escape Plan Live Poster Two




I love working with An Escape Plan, I used to play drums for them, so I feel they're in my blood ( I hope my blood is still on their drums), and if I need inspiration it drips from their beautiful recordings.

This poster was built from a few bits I've been playing with recently. The main character is a montage of different body parts found on Google, the shoes and head are then hand-drawn in solid black to negate the need for too much detail. Then there's a grunge texture laid over the top of it to bring it all together.

The smoke is done using some really effective spray can brushes in Photoshop, and over the top of that I've laid some white particles from a stock file I have to just scruff the whole thing up a bit.

One complete idea, no amends, one sign off. My kind of job. I am a big subscriber to ditching your first idea, my first idea was to do something around this Wind Costume photo, but it wasn't working out. Nice though eh?

The poster is a companion piece to this previous gig poster.

An Escape Plan live poster




So my first job of the new year and it's for An Escape Plan, a band I used to play in, and fronted by my good friend Craig Brown. A man who, since he played at my wedding, I'm forever in debt to.

There really wasn't a brief for this job, I'm very familiar with AEP's work, and we share an artistic vision for the band so we both know exactly how we want it all to look, scarecrows has always been a theme of the band, it's a long story...

The gig is at Northampton Labour Club, on 23rd Jan with support from Joel Harries. If you want to hear the band click here.

It's been a while since I've done any gig or club posters, especially in Northampton, it feels good to be back and it's nice to see the new Citizen logos get an outing.

The more I look at this, the more I think it might be the best gig poster I've ever done. This is my previous favourite.
