Florida Arts Poster…

Here's that Florida Art Festival poster I said I'd post for you when it was done. (click the image below to enlarge) It was actually for the Palm Beach Cultural Council if anyone knows of it.

This was a fun assignment but it was tricky getting all the characters to piece together just right. As you can probably see from the original sketch, there was a lot of tweaking involved. That's another great advantage to working digitally, vector in particular... it's relatively easy to work the composition by adjusting placement and sizing of elements. Some might call this cheating, I call it saving years of my life. :-)

I'm looking forward to getting a copy of the full-size poster from the agency when it's complete... it'll make a nice addition to the studio. I need more finished art on my walls, plenty of sketches and works in progress but not much color stuff.

The client was very pleased with the final art, I was even lucky enough to get a quote from the art director for my upcoming testimonial page...

"Brad's artistic and professional capabilities are superior and made it easy for us to complete our project and go beyond our clients' expectations!"

    Very cool. Nice work.

    Maine artist working on a poster for an event in Florida, sounds like a creative economy to me.
