It's been a long time since I've done one of these.

Two of four illustrations for the New York Times Magazine's 'Year in Ideas' issue.

    The Deer Hunter poster is so great, and the fairytale WIP is awesome. I've got your In Case of Zombies shirt. I love your by the numbers type tees.

    Those posters, are you just making them for fun? Or do you have plans for that?

    I'm doing a series of 9 in the same colours and making a big 3x3 grid of them. Just for fun (but it's also great portfolio stuff).

    I guess I am more of a designer than an artist but I've got some more traditional stuff in the works.

    I'll post these to round at the thread a bit more:

    Hey Moss, if you don't mind what are you using for the printing effects? Or is that from actually printing them? Also great work and congrats on the Times pieces.

    It's just a simple texture over the top. I find it keeps vector pieces from looking too flat and soulless.

    Your movie posters are glorious (I really like the Die Hard and American History X ones, in particular), they look like they should be the cover art for the Criterion Collection releases of these films. :^: :^:

    Thanks man. The other one I did is pretty weak, but it was a super last notice replacement for another one I'd done that I was actually happy with. The original was pulled due to copyright issues (it was a play on a monopoly card).

    While I get what you're trying to do (i think) only a few of those are succesful in my opinion. Namely, the ones that play with the shooting range theme (mona lisa, the scream, david, and the Venus De Milo.)

    i think he means the ones that are actually people, i mean who wants to shoot flowers? i want blood baby.

    Well... some of the others that are people have no bullet marks (the thinker for instance). Maybe if this gets explained, I'll enjoy it more but as it stands, I really only like the ones I mentioned above :)
