NICK CAVE TOUR POSTER 2017 18”x24" • Screen Print LINK IN BIO https://bodega.brianewing.com/search.php?search_query=nick+cave . I’m a few days late on posting this. 5/26/17 was the first date of the @nickcaveofficial tour! Their management hit me up to design the tour poster. The poster was only available to the people that bought the VIP package - which also included a ticket to the show and a laminate with my work on it!!! . This was a HUGE project for me. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE #NICKCAVE ’s music!! LOVE! So to get a chance to design a poster again for him was an honor. Even better - it was for the whole tour! In 2014 I got to design the poster for their Milwaukee, WI show! . If you scroll through you - can see the photo reference I took of my homie @a.sinners.heart posing as Nick Cave’s stunt double. He was in town when I started working on the project. . From there I sketched everything out in my sketchbook with a @prismacolor #colerase pencil. I had a small meltdown until my homie @dave_crosland talked me down from the ledge and helped me make sense of my composition. Then I lightboxed it onto 8.5 x 11 #bristolboard and inked it with a @winsorandnewton series 7 sable brush. Then scanned it in at 600 dpi and did the coloring & color seps in photoshop! . Oh included is the alternate sketch I submitted but they felt the portrait of Cave was a better fit. NEVER THROW AWAY YOUR SKETCHES! I ended up using this for the @themurdercitydevils poster a few months later. WIN/WIN! . I was lucky enough to see the first date of the show with my best homie and amazing animator @crankbunny at the @kingsbklyn Such a beautiful theatre!!! Such a great show!!! . . . . . . #illustration #detail #brutsubmission #design #darkart #nickcaveandthebadseeds #sketch #sketching #inking #nickcaveandthebadseeds ##nickcaveandthebadseedstour2017 #pushtheskyaway #deanna #lovelycreatures #crowjane #boatmanscall #letlovein #murderballads #janglingjack #strangerthankindness #detail #brianewing (at Kings Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyWTVFJ6_S/?igshid=13qohqeak7mfo

I’m really excited to announce the new official #nickcaveandthebadseeds VIP #screenprint tour poster. The poster was only available to the people that bought the VIP package - which also included a ticket to the show and a laminate with my work on it! The management gave me permission to sell my copies of the poster now that the tour is over. Does NOT include laminate! Or the ticket… Big thanks to all the folks that have bought the print! Tubes have been ordered and I will start shipping this weekend. BIG BIG THANKS to all the people that took the time to repost the art. @geekynerfherder @wearecareful @lovelycreatures_nickcave_fan It’s tough trying get some attention for the work I’ve been doing. Muchas Gracias!!! More thanks to Sean and @vgkids for always coming through and doing a wonderful job printing. They’ve saved my bacon so many time over the past 4 years that they have a whole freezer full of bacon. Would you guys be willing to wait a few more weeks for your order if I decided to come up with a new piece of art and make a print exclusive to the NC poster and tipped it in with your order? Let me know. It’s something that I want to do but I also don’t want to piss anyone off if they’re expecting their order to ship already. I’m in full on #SanDiegoComicCon mode this week, last week and next week and for the rest of my life it seems. #wrathofcon I’ll be at BOOTH 4604!! Same spot new number. I will have some new and sold out prints I’ve been hoarding away for #ComicCon Also Justin and I will have some new @meta.crypt releases. Follow #MetaCrypt to see what I’m bragging about. I’ll also have some cool @thewalkingdead #theWalkingDead #SDCC thing to announce soon. After I kill myself this week with deadlines. #DeadlinesRuleEverythingAroundMe #thingsCarlthingsssss #illustration #detail #brutsubmission #design #darkart #nickcaveandthebadseedstour2017 #pushtheskyaway #lovelycreatures #boatmanscall #murderballads #gigposter #rockposter #creepmachine

Here’s the sketch for the @nickcaveofficial VIP tour poster. They were only available by purchasing the VIP package. I’ll have my ARTIST COPIES available on my site SOON. Since i’ll only have a few… I’m making them available to my newsletter subscribers first - as a thank you for all the support. So yeah… ***Sign up for my newsletter at brianewing.com *** When the management and promoter contacted me they were specific that I don’t draw anything too dark. Considering what has been going on with Cave’s personal life - I understood. I wanted to distance myself from the #anatomical style I had been running with for the past few years - which I used on the 2014 poster I did for the band. That stuff is too dark. Plus, with all of the tattooing I’ve been doing, I wanted to show people (aka prove to myself and my #selfdoubt) that I can draw. The management asked me to write my ideas instead of sketch them and they would then pick the idea they liked best. That was actually fun. Some of the ideas that didn’t get chosen were used for other posters (or will be soon.) #neverthrowawayyoursketches We narrowed it down to a few ideas and then finally they went with #NickCave pounding away at a typewriter as if he were playing a piano. Since he’s an author and a musician it made sense to me. Happy that they liked the idea. I don’t do likenesses too often so I’m very happy that I nailed it right away. My good buddy Brandon @a.sinners.heart was in town so I recruited him to pose as the rest of Cave. He’s tall and gangly too! For better or worse, I work mostly in my sketchbook before transferring the drawing to bristol board. I’m clumsy and I’ll lose anything that isn’t chained to a cinder block - so that’s why I like working in a #sketchbook. #MichaelKaluta once wrote a great essay on why sketchbooks are important. You should look it up! #illustration #detail #nocureuncover #brutsubmission #design #darkart #colerasepencil #sketch #sketching #inking #nickcaveandthebadseeds ##nickcaveandthebadseedstour2017 #pushtheskyaway #deanna #lovelycreatures #crowjane #boatmanscall #letlovein #murderballads #janglingjack #goesyackityyack
