I had the chance to work with incredible L.A. based music video director David M. Helman, as well as one of the best music video animators, Bristol based RUFF MERCY, plus cinematographer Trevor Wineman.
The music video I worked on is for LA rapper Zeroh's new single Coves and Caves. I created some animations which flicker on to the screen. It premiered yesterday on FRSH SLCTS. Give it a watch and listen below.
We have almost come to the end of the Fairy Tale series I have been making for FFWD, only one more after this!
This week's is The Girl Without Hands, a Grimm Brothers Fairy Tale I wasn't familiar with until someone suggested I read it. It's one of the craziest fairy tales, definitely give it a read. In the fairy tale this miller chops off his daughters hands in hopes of protecting her from the devil (which he owes him).
In my illustration I have portrayed the devil as a shadow puppet being cast by the dismembered hands, the devil is looking down upon the mill. The tattoos on the hands symbolize elements from the story, like the king and angel. This is one of my favorite fairy tales I've done during this series I think, it turned out well in print too, so pick up a copy of FFWD this week.
Your song of the day is Two Small Deaths just because:
Calgary band Jenny has been tearing it up for a minute now, so I was stoked when Sean Hamilton contacted me about doing a shirt for them.
Take a look at the awesome Malissa Dunphy modeling one of the freshly printed shirts above, as well as Sean himself sporting the new merch below. Make sure you come down to the Palimino this Friday to be a part of Jenny's album release from Sudden Death Records! It's going to be fun! More info on the album release here.
I neglected to post up this illustration last Friday, as I was busy with Easter stuff and moving.
This week's was Peter and the Wolf though, you can still check it out in a copy of FFWD, so grab one off newsstands!
