Oooh, this one. I’m really excited about this one.
First of all, a very special thank you to everyone who has purchased recently. “Madness Revealed” was an incredible sell-out, and “Spring Eternal” also did well, with a few hand-embellished prints still left available. I’m always humbled by your support of my art, thank you.
Of all the myriad constraints in making gig posters, easily the most impactful is time. There’s a good chance I simply make my gig posters too elaborate, that I just spend far too much time on them. I’ll chalk it up to an obsessive nature and a deficient ability to stop in a timely manner. It often feels like I could spend forever refining each and every poster. But alas, the time inevitably comes when the image must get sent away, to meet the printing deadline. My recent Trey Anastasio gig poster was very much an instance of such.
I had a blast working on the original image, pushing details all the way up to the printing deadline. Even after I sent the art out I didn’t stop, knowing I needed to keep working on it to get it to its next form. I spent about as much time AFTER the original poster deadline re-working the entire image for its next incarnation. I spent an obsessive amount of time overhauling the sky, land, main tiger creature and the riders. I redid the mountains, updated the flora and pretty much fell into a wormhole working on the cliff face. I also edited the fur and musculature of the tiger beast (he was missing his feline tummy-pouch). I tweaked the colors from the first run, edited shadows and tones, and even redid the white ink pattern for the foil background for a little extra. I wasn’t happy with how close the original poster art went to the edge of the page, so I also bumped the whole image down a few percentage points for some grace in the edge relationship.
I fell into a love/hate relationship reworking this cliffside.
Removing the text required shifting the planet to a whole new astral system.
No detail was left untouched- even the white ink plate for the foil prints was redone.
That sounds like a problem for future N.C. so I’ll save it for him. Special thanks to DL Screenprinting for producing these prints with such excellent quality. It couldn’t have been done without their care and attention to detail.
This image is the spiritual successor to “Pale Rider,” the image I made for a gig poster for Primus with Clutch. There is much more planned for this universe, one of exotic adventures featuring riders of great fantastical beasts. Stay tuned to see how this universe develops, most likely over a long time.
