Oh Ye Denver Birds Posters

Hi guys,
I've been working with some new clients a bit lately. They go by the name -"Golden District". A tidy little artist management company comprised of Maggie Collins and Alex Iveson. I will be posting a bunch of branding, illustration and design stuff Ive been doing with them over the next month or two, but in the mean time these are a few posters I've made for one of their bands- Oh Ye Denver Birds.

Poster inspired by a photo I took in paris last year. The headless saint Dennis over looks the entrance to the Notre Dame.
A Text based poster for a halloween party they are throwing.
This was another quick concept I did while I waited for feedback.

And some nekid ladies from life drawing. The first row are 5 minute ink gestures, the second row are 15-20 minute poses.

Hope you're all well,
Love
A.

Life drawings

I know life drawings are a little dry to be posting on the Internet. What we need is more multicoloured spaz out drawings. Plenty more of them to come soon, but I thought in the mean time I'd put up some of my drawings from Wednesday's life drawing session.

20min poses

10 min poses

I cant believe how relaxed I feel in these classes compared to the classes at uni. Back then I'd either be in fits of anxiety or just give up after half an hour and mess around with friends. I actually look forward to these Wednesday sessions.

On a different topic. This music video has instantly become one of my favourites of all time.



Directed by Nicolás Méndez and Produced by CANADA. I wont bore you with why I'm in love with it, but if you have time check out some more work CANADA has produced. It will almost certainly blow your mind.

Fruit Salad.

Hiya blog,
So this post is a real mish mash of things, clearing out a stack of files I've been meaning to post. Sketchbook stuff, lifedrawings and designs. The drawing above is almost what I look like. Its for my website, which I will hopefully be updating this week :)
Ink sketch inspired by American Movie-

Recently I took the plunge and started doing real life drawing again. You can probably tell by looking at my drawings Im not very comfortable with lifedrawing. I'm not sure why, but I've always found it particularly hard.That said Im really enjoying it. Its a very different atmosphere to university classes. Its actually almost relaxing.
These are some 5 and 10 minute poses.
Some character development stuff I'm doing with a friend.
I also went to my first Dr Sketchies last weekend. To be honest, it was a let down. I think most Sketchies are run by artists, but Adelaide's one seems to be run by burlesque performers. Its fine, but there is very little emphasis put on the art side. I found it really hard to draw because we were constantly given strange rules for the drawing, and the models would casually move around and talk mid pose... this is the only drawing worth looking at ....
Sketch book stuff-
And a few moleskine observation pages from last week.

This last page was for notes at this years Semi-Permanent. You can read my full rundown of the event over at Ozanimate.
Hopefully I'll be able to share some new 2d animation with you in the next month. Part of a personal project I've been working on. Fingers crossed I get to finish it:)
Hope you are all well!
love
Alex
