So, here's something I've forgotten to show. I did a bunch of design work for Paul Oakenfold's show at Rain(inside of the Palms hotel and casino in Vegas)earlier this year. I didn't get a chance to see it in person when I was there a few months ago, so I'm not sure how different it looks from my concept illustrations. What I had to do was design the stage so that it could be assembled and taken apart very quickly before and after the show.



The entire sequence basically went like this:

1-Preparing to blast off, on the launching pad.
2-Flight through space. Several images would be projected or shown on very thin LCD screens on the stage and the floor. I can't remember the exact name for the technology since it's been at least 7-8 months since I've worked on it.
3-Landing on Planet Perfecto. Apparently, Oakenfold only comes out around 2am, balloons fall, all kinds of stuff pops up/out and black light comes on.



-Oh, and Happy New Year!

Quick paintings today. Around 40 minutes each. PS CS4

I just finished that after about 30 minutes of goofing around with some newer brushes I'd made a few weeks ago for a project I was on.


Happy New Year!

Same chalk/pastel brush as yesterday:

Was listening to Hans Zimmer...


I was thinking about the times I've been to New York during the winter when it's been snowing and seeing Cardinals.



Default flat brush in Photoshop:


These quick paintings are a ton of fun.
