So I finally created a storefront to sell the remaining Video Game posters, as well as a platform for me to more easily sell things direct. You can check it out at pressxtojustin.com

National Television Debut?

MBMBaM fan Gregory Posey appeared on the season finale of Tosh.0 the other night wearing a t-shirt featuring the logo I designed for the McElroys. I thought it was pretty rad to see some of my artwork on national television, even if it is Tosh.0.

Kill Screen Magazine

This piece was featured on the back cover of the newest issue of Kill Screen Magazine. I was absolutely thrilled to be given the chance to have something featured in such a rad magazine.
I'm hard at work doing some more work for them for the next issue as well, It's all going to be super cool and I can't wait to work with them more.

Bob Ball

Professional Voice Artist Bob Ball approached me recently to design a logo that could be use on his website as well as future collateral like business cards. He is a big fan of old school microphones, and old school is what I'm all about. I wanted to evoke a mid-40's to mid-50's vibe while still keeping the logo entirely timeless. I loved the idea of being able to point to elements of the logo that represent different era's but not being able to place the whole in any one era.

Linked by Naughty Dog

On their Twitter and Facebook. With that comes some more choice comments:


" how in the hell do I get these posters? They are RADICAL! Yeah so much so I just used "radical" in all caps"

"These are such vague posters, why not? I don't get them, and I hope it's not an artistic direction for the next Uncharted game. Looks too art-deco film noir for me."


and my new favorite:


"This is the stupidest poster i have ever seen. I could make it my self in like 10 minutes. If I want an UNcharted @ poster I expect it to be about the game (skull and crossbones?)"

Moon Poster Now Available For Purchase

You can purchase my Moon inspired poster, now titled "Earth is Everything" at Society 6.

"Sketches"

I just wanted to post some little digital sketches I've worked on recently. These are more or less exercises, and not really made for one intended purpose.

This is one is inspired by the movie Moon from 2009. It was one of the most brilliant movies I've ever seen, I absolutely adore it.

This is a slightly updated style I'm working on for my series of video game posters. I don't know that this will ever be included in the set (or printed) but I thought it was pretty rad. It's based off of John Marston from Red Dead Redemption.

I draw a lot of inspiration from images of space. So when a new one is released, I go nuts. This is pretty much just me messing around in photoshop, working on techniques and having fun.

Thats it! I hope to post more of these in the future, and don't forget: Donate $55 to AbleGamers Foundation and you get a sweet poster signed by me!

AbleGamers Foundation

I created this poster for the AbleGamers Foundation. AbleGamers is a group dedicated to promoting accessibility in gaming. It's a wonderful cause and I was glad to help them out.

The poster is available for pre-order right now, 100% of the proceeds go to them. You can preorder or just donate to the cause here.

Doug Loves Movies

One of my favorite podcasts, Doug Loves Movies, recently had a logo design contest. I didn't really think I would win, but I through together this idea anyways and submitted it. It didn't go anywhere, but Doug Benson did DM me and told he liked it. So...win?

CRAFTY GAMER

GameInformer.com's  Crafty Gamer blog interviewed me, its a fun piece, but as usual, the best part is the comments:


"Those posters are amazing, i wish companies would trademark their games with pictures like this instead of the un-original teaser"


"Awesome work. A little too GD for my tastes, but I prefer sloppier aesthetics."


"These are really cool looking, and quite interesting."


"Theyr cool. But I dont think theyr super easy to get. If you hung them up in a mall.... I think a hell of a lot of people would be wtf'ing in front of them."


"I would love to see a God of War poster. [ed. note: Wouldn't we all? he he he] I would definately buy one of those" 


"too bland for my taste.  Simple is good, but this is just a little bit too far."


"The Mario one is my favorite. It really pops. And simply "Here we go...", so powerful, like a huge explosion is about to come bursting through the poster. Just makes me want to go jump kick a dump truck!"


"Just another example of how games have impacted entire facets of culture and inspiration. Games are art, and art is now gaming."
