bags and design development

research that I have collected this is what comes in out of the designs I am really happy with from using the research I've collected on traditional artists and traditional To flash at this I use a traditional process of split shading the shed numbskull was what I use it and used a black marker to fill in parts that will help shore shape within the image the school reflects the native collective that I started the neo-native and after designing and inking the design I will be bid mapping the design that will be going on to bags

at the turn of the design on for shop this is the final product using a two tone of colours that I feel happy to call 80s new or native I've chosen the pink neon pink and peacock blue from research I've collected based round the 80s collective and I am happy with the final product and I will also be creating a collection of prints and also one of Prince that will be sold alongside the bad design within my next post at the talk about the Prints i be making and I will also be selling the bags at London.

80s sticker packs

from a clear idea in the direction I wanted to go in and through of experimentation and drawn designs that have come up with a decided to look at a lot of 80 retro sticker packs that I fought really worked well one and do a promotional pack around the idea of the Neill native project I think a great idea and a great way to promote yourself through stickers tax so this is just a variety of 80 sticker packs from around that time which I thought was helpful this really help me knuckle down my colour palette and really help me understand what was retro around the time of the 80s and what I feel I could bring back up-to-date with a new exciting approach.

80s skate decks art

another thing that helped me decide and help me onto the right path in my creative process was to skateboard designs and skateboard deck from around the 80s looking at a variety of different brands that made skateboards at this time was really inspiring was a line prior to help me pick my colour palette for my project will be experimenting with variety of different colours and experimenting with printing techniques to help me to find my drawn processes and to find a way around and to help me find my process towards this project within the next post I will be discussing a variety of eyes that have helped me approach my project so far and where my project is going.

some of the decks are really inspired me up so far as the neon colours this will really fascinated towards the 80s style and needs to the colours that I will be using in my process neon pink and the beautiful peacock blue.

drawing ideals and concepts #3

update on more by drawings after really going on the idea of using the native is a concept and foundation to build creative work on decided this stretch my experimentation a little more usually been using tanks and really trying to find the balance and professional standard and way of working around them. but this can get really repetitive and really stressful to help me relieve my stress I decided to try pro markers and sharpie is just playing around in colour and in some of my designs to give it a funky feel more than 80s retro feel.

underneath are some of the designs are being played around with I feel this really works in the squad play towards my final outcome bought a one law until I do a little bit more experimentation shall be played around with sharpie's and inks and sit back and find a balance between the screenprinting aspect of my creative.

signalnoise artists research

to try and keep the line with the native and not issue at all the different path I really wanted to keep the negative aspect book add a teaspoon coloured so did a lot more as research and from the site is called signal noise and is our work was really inspiring highlight how we used 80s themed processes using for illustrated techniques this is just a variety of his work I found inspiring and help me find a creative way through the design and concept that I want you to see a experiment with screen printing processes and really get into the cultural side of my concept.

also looking at a variety of text packs that is created to help me find an understanding in the neon ways this is really helped me a lot and help me find some craven to set the standard and beyond the subject I'll be covering and I can now finally move on from this creative block and finally knuckled down in my work and just start to really enjoyed the work that I will be doing. a found out that experimenting and really playing with the idea and just really enjoying it really helps my creative process and develop some of my keen designs.

Despite my being horridly overworked this last while, I couldn’t turn down this opportunity. The awesome team at Bleacher Report wanted me combine the styles of my 2 DRIVE posters into one illustration, pushing Beckham into a ‘James Bond’ icon with a distinct Miami vibe. I’ve been using this colour palette for months now, so this was a perfect match to my current workflow.

Last Gift

What an exciting day. I’m thrilled to be included in Photoshop’s 25th Anniversary celebration with Lynda.com. Scott Erickson from the Lynda office flew into Dartmouth amid a crazy snowstorm last month to shoot a mini documentary in my studio as I worked on an original poster celebrating Photoshop.

I was allowed to do whatever I wanted, so decided to take inspiration from cheesy Trapper Keeper binders I saw when I was a kid and create the mighty Laser Horse poster. This is the kind of bullcrap I make when I’m given carte blanche… heads up you big brands. Scott and I got into the nuts and bolts of how I created the image, some tips and tricks along with some of my halfwit design philosophy on creating stuff with an 80’s aesthetic.

Here’s some very new territory for the Signalnoise Studio. Today I’m proud to release my very first font. I bit off more than I could chew with this sucker, but managed to push it through. Here it is… Neo-Noire.
