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.

Here are the inks for the NICK CAVE VIP #tourposter http://bodega.brianewing.com/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-regular/ If you swipe right you can see a quick evolution from the pencils to inks. That’s my drawing process for posters. I also posted the original inks for the #NICKCAVE poster from 2014 You can see the difference in size. I used to work at 11x17 because that’s how it was normally done in the comic book industry. A few years back I got hit with a project that had a short deadline so I decided to cut the image size in half to save time. Since then I’ve tried to work at that size. Less stressful for me. Less nights of me with my head in my hands wishing I hadn’t pursued a career in art! Yet somehow the #selfdoubt didn’t get cut in half. Oy vey… You can see a bigger version of those inks here http://bodega.brianewing.com/nick-cave-original-art/ THANKS to EVERYONE that picked up the #nickcaveandthebadseeds VIP tour poster. The #FOIL variant is sold out! THANK YOU! Again MUCHAS GRACIAS to all the people that help spread the word and reblogged/reposted the print! It’s not easy when competing with so many rad artists out there. So HEY… 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. Will also have some cool @thewalkingdead #theWalkingDead #SDCC thing to announce soon. After I kill myself this week with deadlines. #DeadlinesRuleEverythingAroundMe #illustration #detail #brutsubmission #design #darkart #lovelycreatures #boatmanscall #murderballads #gigposter #rockposter #creepmachine #inking
