NEAT!

Make-it-RAIN!!!!

My first ever paid commission! Last week my main man Keith Hogan ( or Hogey Bear on account of the fact he hooked me up... Does this reference still make sense? It did at 4 o'clock today...) put me in touch with a friend of his, an event manager called Tim Carey. Tim is promoting senator David Norrises presidential campaign and one of the events he organized was an "alternative fashion show" to raise funds. The alternative aspect is that the models are going to be be drag queens and lady kings! (I had always said drag kings but lady kings sounds nicer!)

 

So Tim needed a logo and he gave me fairly clear instructions, the event is called Divas V Demons and he wanted a contrasting girly Divas against an evil Demons.  So that's it up there, Tim was pleased so he asked me if I wanted to take a crack at the poster. First of all he sent me his first attempt, which as he said was constructed in the dead of night in a caffinated-sleep deprived haze so don't judge him on it!

Sooooo... I said I'd take a crack at it! (Well actually I said something about a bag or oranges... make of that what you will.) Below is my poster, I changed the bevel on the logo because the deep channels didn't work against the background. Also, spot the typo! (I didn't convert the finished one so this one has one small mistake.)

It's a milestone for me, my first paid job! Plus Tim was so pleased he said he's got a few more projects lined up for this year that he'd like me to work on, neat! (again!)
