Adventure Buddies - Episode 6 Revenge of the Return

Here's the last of the Adventure Buddies posters. All 6 episodes have been finished and shown. It's over for now. I'm sure there will be some DVD stuff, some story books, and soundtrack releases yet to come but for now it's done. Check out the show on Funny or Die!

Adventure Buddies It Begins... Again!

So I was asked to do the poster for Kevin Clarke and Travis Vogt's newest project called Adventure Buddies. It's going to be 6 short film episodes that are parodies of chopsockie action films from the last couple of decades. Since I happily devoted myself to several of their events I was excited to work on this new one. I'll be doing a poster for each one of the episodes in different styles. This will be the most ambitious poster work I've done so far.
For this first one I went with an old stand-by (for me) and made a faux-painted VHS cover. Below show the stages I went through to get the final piece.
And for God's sake, go to the show when it opens here in Seattle at the Sunset Tavern on August 17th.
Here's a teaser for it.

One Nite Only Part II

A poster that I did for Kevin and Travis of the Entertainment Show fame. When I came up the the daredevil idea, this style of art came with it. It's not my usual way of doing things, but it's how I thought it would best be done. What Kevin suggested for the poster was "Simple and Epic". So... daredevil stuff is pretty much that. It was either this or dragons and unicorns. Cliche and tired. I also didn't want to use the red white and blue colors, that's why it's pink and green.
