Here's a banner design I did for Writer/Director Ralph Suarez of Warm Milk Productions. He's planning to rework the website for his film, Purgatory Comics and thought it would be cool if we did some cartoon versions of the cast. I did art for the film a few years ago, so it was alot of fun to work with Ralph again, and I hope to work with him on future projects as well. If you are interested in purchasing the film you can goto: http://www.filmbaby.com/films/4503 It's available on DVD or digi download.
About the Film
A young woman hides from her complicated life in a small comic
book store, but finds she can't escape her past forever!
Purgatory Comics tells the story of Cola (Angela Benedict), a girl
who arrives at a crossroad in her life. Instead of facing the
challenges that come with adulthood, she takes refuge in a dwindling comic book store.
She finds new friends in storeowner Evan (Tim Kelly) and customer
Berner (Jonathan Zungre), but when her old life calls her back, it
becomes clear that she can't hide between comic books and action
figures forever. Also Starring Bob Socci, April Simpson, Vinny Bove, and adult film star Bree Olson!
this is the initial sketch concept that I send Ralph Suarez followed by the inked version before colors and graphics are added.
So this was sort of a unique commission. I got to design some patches and logos for a special unit at The Birmingham Police Dept here in Alabama. I had a good time working on the job, and I hope they approve the designs. It would be cool to know the men in blue are sporting my design while bustin' the bad guys. As with many art jobs, not everything you work on gets the green light, so fingers crossed. Special thanks to my good friend Officer Joshua Phillips for hooking me up with the gig. It's been awhile since I did a more graphic art, logo design type job. art, logo design type job.
