@vanswarpedtour 2007 13TH ANNIVERSARY . With @chiodos @thealmostofficial @paramore, @killswitchengage @redjumpsuit Official poster designed for the 13th Anniversary of the #WarpedTour . Did anyone go to this?! . In late 2006, I was hired by an agency to design 6 posters for this tour but the agency kept getting in their own way (and mine) and blew all the deadlines. Ugh… Buy me a beer and I'll tell you the whole story. I learned so many valuable lessons from this project. Everyone at the Warped Tour was great!!! It was the agency that dropped the ball, big time. . At least the main poster got used! . I was looking at the sketches for the 6 posters. Some of them weren’t bad and some made me cringe haha. I made sure that EVERY year I would bust my ass to improve as an artist. I look back at the previous #vanswarpedtour artwork and I can see I sucked less. . Swipe to see what could have been for @PARAMORE & @thealmostofficial . The #PARAMORE poster was based on the music video for their song #miserybusiness I think it was about being bullied in high school. I hope it was or I sound really stupid right now! Cut me some slack, it was 13 years ago! Buy me another beer and I’ll tell you the story about how I ended up at a dinner with the band in San Francisco. . #THEALMOST poster was a lot of fun to do. Again the theme was #tattoos and I was looking at a lot of #traditionaltattoo designs for inspiration. I was supposed to illustrate their song #saythissooner I think it was about time travel. It was 13 years ago!!! Rachel -the wife of my friend (and #metacrypt biz partner) Justin - posed for this one. I was living in San Francisco at the time and took the train to Sacramento where they lived and she was cool enough to let me take some photo reference for the project. . Also attached is a 2007 write up from @altpress Thanks again @mike_shea96 for the shout out! . Sadly, these and the other 4 never got printed. . . . . . #chiodos #thealmost #paramore #killswitchengage #redjumpsuitapparatus . #illustration #detail #brianewing #darkart #inking #design #rockposter #gigposter #brianewingfiendclub #skulls @capsulesbook #gigposter #darkartists #lineart #KevinLyman #WarpedTour (at Warped Tour) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCDCrCpiza/?igshid=x03nyqoj7wh5
