I Know its been a while since ive posted on here (mainly because i started a tumbr account, and it seems smoother and faster to use and i have just sort of fell into it). http://mrneedle.tumblr.com/
Anyways ive been beavering away on various things including more club posters for various places, some editorial design and a new project (This Is) Bond.
A project which combines my passion for Bond Films and my love and need to design and create things.
Over the course of the next year i will be creating a poster for each film (in between projects)
This week has been both busy and adventurous, starting the week very skint and a bleak outlook ahead, im ending the week with various jobs on the go, and have signed a contract with a London based web design company Kerma Interactive.
As well as that i still had a little bit of time to work on a cover design for Little White Lies – Where The Wild Things Are cover competition.
This is the second illustration of my ongoing personal project The October Compositions, this illustration yet again pictures another charecter, this time its “The Makavelian Dr Pendau”, a sinister looking charecter, living within an experimental landscape somewhere between dali and steampunk.
One film that i have been eagerly anticipating for the past year or so, is the latest outing from visionary director Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) “Where The Wild Things Are”. This is adapted from a book of the same name that i read as a child written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
The film is due out very soon (Around November, I believe), and i just heard the fantastic soundtrack by Karen O & The Kids (Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fame). To say the least I am very exctited, even the posters earthy tones and handwritten font reflect that of the book, yet still give it a new modern lease of life that works very well.
Over the month of October i will launching my own self directed project. The October Compositions as it will be known, will be a collection of experimental collage/montage compositions based on various themes and subject matters, from the dark and macabre to the bright and fantastical.
Here is the first of them entitled “The Memoirs Of Eddie Strange”
