So here we are again, standing on the precipice of something fantastic (hopefully). This past week, I submitted my entry in to the Jacksonville Jazz Festival poster contest. I like the design, but I think it may be too contemporary/modern for Jax, but hopefully not. They tend to find traditional mediums of art more appealing it seems.
Was really inspired by Al Hirshfeld and old school cartoons. Wanted to play with tapering lines to describe and create the performers as well a give life to the visuals. I really enjoyed the line work in black and white, but I added a few splashes of color to make it pop.
Initially, I was fabricating puppets for this poster, but time caught up with me. I will have to complete my "3-D" poster this time around and submit it as my entry next year. IT. WILL. BE. AWESOME.
