comp for a new project

for my next senior studio project, I've decided to take on the band Mount Eerie (formally known as the Microphones). Mount Eerie makes claustrophobic yet expansive experimental folk music that sounds rough and flat yet grandiose. It's hard to describe. Anyways, here we are:

40 Day Dream.

My spring break has not been the most fruitful so far but I have been working a little bit. This is a rough comp. of a new project, one that I'm hoping to actually get screen-printed:




I'm still tinkering with all of the design elements etc etc. but I figured I'd slap up here for the whole of the internets to laugh at it.

EDIT: I've exchanged the old version with the finished image. I decided to go with a more expanded palette because I tend to always work with a very limited one, so I wanted to challenge myself a bit. In my haste I forgot to save it for the web so the quality is quite horrid. Some day soon I'll fix that, too busy right now!

Oh yeah! And I also have the (mostly) finished front of my mailer, featuring the young fellow playing the accordion:

a work in progress!

A character I'm designing for a self-promotional mailer. This is him at conception:



and this is him all grown up:



Not finished yet, but it's a start.

I'm in a children's book class right now and it has gotten me to start being a lot more playful in regards to the figure.. more to come... forrrr sure.
