Well I started playing with the media I want to use on my new posters. These are just test strips I printed at different black levels to see the difference in the texture that comes through. I am using a gel medium to paste down the paper then coming back on top with acrylic paints. Its pretty fun to be working with physical media again, Star helped me out a lot and I took a lot of my techniques from things she has been working on lately. I guess next step will be to get down and start working on the first board at full size. Or maybe I’ll just go back and start playing more wii.

So I have been working on a new set of Beatles posters off and on for a while now. I am looking to take a more hands on execution process after drawing and designing them in Adobe Illustrator. Instead of just getting large scale prints of them, I am looking to project the drawings onto a bigger paper, board, or canvas then paint the colors in. I also want to play with some typography in the background for added texture. The interesting part will be figuring out exactly how to do this and learning some new techniques in the process. I’m still not exactly sure how to make happen what I am thinking, but I will be playing around on my extended holiday. I will post more when I have more, of course.
