Visual Design II: Creative Art

I have created artwork for a variety of bands, online forums, and other groups. Here is a brief sampling.

Samhain Promotional Art (2009); A local indie four-piece called Samhain approached me to create a promotional band image for thier online endeavors, materials sent to record labels, etc. They provided me with lyrics, a previous band logo, and a photo of them, asking that I incorporate all of them together. Here's what I came up with.

No Fall Too Far Album Art (2008); This piece was created for Florida metal band No Fall Too Far's debut, self-titled album.

Vansan Promotional Art (2008); Vansan was the short-lived musical project of a friend named Nate Di Grigio. He desired a header for his now-defunct Myspace page, and I designed this for him. His music was influenced by Mayan spiritualism and mythology, and I sought to reflect that in the art.

Roosters Promotional Art (2010); For a theatre course at Hamline, we were asked to design a poster for the play Roosters by Milcha Sanchez-Scott. In this play, a father and son spar over a long history of family violence and the spoils of a cock-fighting empire.
