Real finished poster

We actually got to print these off on a large format printer today...turned out pretty nice...

Here are the mask files.Clearly I had to change the guy mask color but I blame the outrageous color shift on photoshop...Not sure why a document from illustrator won't keep colors intact when x-ferring to pshop...My quick fixes for printing didn't work out with these colors and when printed from photoshop the items looked like they had sat in a sunny window for a month...Illustrator printing='d perfect.

IF: Bicycle

In West Virginia if you are REALLY poor you have a bicycle up on blocks in the front yard rusting down instead of an automobile...either that or you are trying to make the rest of the folk think you are an athlete...

Being from WV I can make these claims and give you permission to laugh...it could probably hit home to some Kentucky or Georgia people as well...but they probably don't find it as funny...

Spring Showcase Poster/Postcard

This will be the first year that we are doing a gallery show...usually we are pretty pooped from dealing with portfolios...but the opportunity came up so we're giving it a shot...not the strongest class but they do have some good work...so we'll see how it goes...I'm excited and hope it works well for them.

IF: Journey 2

Meeting day at school...so it was drawing time...the original idea was just the blank vast distance between the bed and the alarm clock and what a terrible journey it is each morning...but that wasn't an accurate representation of my room...vast or empty...plus I had another hour and a half to kill whilst listening to our guest speaker...

IF:Journey

(click to enlarge...and then you might have to click again to bump it up one more time...had to do the critter a bit smaller to fit the scene in....)

After doing the sea monster one I figured I would do another one for the IF topic...there's a bridge at the local community college that I snapped a pic of and figured this would be a nice place to throw in a hobo critter. I saw a post on a portal a few years ago where people were putting drawings in everyday settings but can't recall what it was...because I'm getting old...and my mind is bad.

Poster Prep Item 1

First created for use on a poster for an upcoming event...

IF:Bottled

IF: 'DU-ET! DU-ET!'...Suicidal No-Talent Singers on the Ledge...

"They thought the crowd was chanting 'DO IT! DO IT!' and jumped...I guess it could've been worse...they could have complied and actually started singing..."

IF:We said DUETS only...

"Well you blew it for us again Larry."


It was funnier in my mind...I think it had to do with coming off a spring break where the average temperature was 33 degrees...I'll try to do better next time...Larry is the head on the far right just in case it was eating you up to know.
