New poster for Moonalice's San Diego show

Here is my newest commissioned poster for the band Moonalice with 7 Walkers. This is for their San Diego show on October 26,2010. I have been enamored with carousel horses lately, don't ask me why but I had to put one in my latest poster. It was super fun to draw and design. So expect more carousel horses in my future work to come.

Also, my inspiration came from one of the Moonalice legends they post on Facebook. Just before they were gonna play last time at Winston's - San Diego they stated...."According to Moonalice legend, the show at Winston's in San Diego promises to be a hippie carnival" What a perfect line to go with my carousel horse inspiration and my psychedelic 60's style! :)

A Glimpse behind the scenes...





Here is a glimpse of my line work. I do a full scale final drawing of the poster, then I overlay vellum on my original drawing. I use Clearprint vellum because it is so forgiving and very clean. All my line work is done with pencil then I have a technique in Photoshop to turn it into ink line work. I spend hours upon hours on the designing and drawing of each of my posters. The drawing and the line work is my favorite part of the poster. I then color the poster in Photoshop. I hope you all dig it. :)
