Mud - A new art print being screenprinted soon! And a bit of process!

Process
Saw the movie Mud and it’s the best film I’ve seen this year, so far. I loved the characters and felt the story lent itself to the type of aesthetic I like to explore in my art prints…thus it inspired a new piece…and I thought I’d show a wee bit of process on how I illustrate for a poster.
The first pic is a piece of the art print I drew separately using a blue led pencil and inked with a pentel pocket brush pen. I love how dynamic and loose the brush pen can allow line-work. I then drew what would be the rest of the art print. I drew them separately because I wanted freedom on how to relate the two illustrations in photoshop. Did I want the boat in the tree more hidden in the background? Partially obscured? Or more upfront? I didn’t know yet.
After I ink my illustrations… I scan them into photoshop where I play with layout and color count. This art print is currently a 5 color screenrpint that I can show broken down into color order as soon as I’m officially finished.
And Poster Week concludes with…
Our gigposter for Ben Sollee. These will be available at the show!

Poster Week Day 4!
We’ve been privileged to create the poster for the Rock the Earth Summer Tour series for three years now! For 2013 we wanted to focus on renewable energy - wind, solar, and alternative transportation (which is perfect for this bike month of May ;)
The poster is also printed on 100% recycled paper, created with 100% green hydropower (just like ALL of our posters, btw!).

Poster Week Day 3!
Now this is the most exciting…May is BIKE MONTH!!! And it means time for one our favorite events Bike Lexington! And we’ve been fortunate to have designed the poster for the past 9 years!
Poster Week Day 2!
Our poster commissioned by Kentucky Refugee Ministries.
This was a design-only job thus we were freed to use more colors than we might typically for a screenprinted poster.
Another Poster Week!
We’ve been busy poster artists so we’ll be showing a new poster every day this week.
To start things off we were commissioned by the Lexington Art League to create an art print for this year’s Francisco’s Farm Arts Festival. These will be for sale at the event.

Here at Cricket Press we love two things…posters and beer. That’s it. 2 things. Here’s the poster we designed for Lexington’s Craft Beer Week…enough said.
Vandaveer Poster
Here is the limited-edition screenprinted poster we created for the band Vandaveer. These are being used as kickstarter gifts for their funded campaign and to help promote their new album “Oh, Willie, Please…” being released on April 30th.
If you can…check out their video for Pretty Polly (a song on the new album)…it’s pretty bad-ass.

Poster Week - Day 5
And it concludes with…
This was not only a super fun poster to design but it’s an event that I’m super excited to take part in with my comics and books: The Lexington Ephemera Festival! So, if you’re interested in participating too…just go to their facebook event page and there’s a link to register. Since it’s the first year there is limited space, but it should be a great time! Can’t wait!
