So Oppositelock Studio is DEAD!
sorta...hahaha.
I recently applied for a grant to start the studio properly, and got it WHOO!
During this process I decided to change the name of the studio to Apollo Collective.
There are many reasons for this, none of which I can be bothered explaining just yet.
BUT! I've been working my ass off lately and will be starting up the new site very soon.
On it will be a link to my folio (using Behance for until i get time to do the site properly),
as well as a brand new blog, a bit of Twitter action for those of you with no lives haha
as well as a few other exciting things like an online store which I'll be selling Screen Printed
posters as well as some Tees and some other cool stuff.
I'll post the link as soon as the sites up!
PEACE!
Hey all,
So! This is going to be my last post for a while as I've got some pretty exciting things in the pipe works at the moment! One of which is a bit of a change of direction for OLS, but what will it be? Oh the suspense!! I'll put you out of your misery soon enough haha.
ANYWAYS! Here's a tour poster I did today for Melbourne's Stealing O'Neal, this one was great fun to do! I love any opportunity I can get to play around with some sweet Hip Hop stylin pieces. Also not that I needed the excuse, but while i was working on this badboy I was cranking Common's fucking amazing album Water Like Chocolate. Common with ?uestlove producing, don't think it can possibly get better than that! (Unless it's The Roots haha).

Ok! So i had to spend most of this evening rearraging and updating my folio for a presentation i have tomorrow and as i was browsing through my work i came across this piece i did earlier in the year while i was doing my placement with the wonderful people at Visual Unity. One of our main clients there was Nandos so we were forever coming up with new ways to draw chickens for the instore graphics. My main job with Nandos was to come up with concepts for window graphics for thier "Hatching Soon"/Opening Soon windows. This one was a blast to work on! Took forever to do, and i think i spent just as long making sure i got the type treatment absolutely perfect as i did on the illustration haha. Anyways, enjoy! CLICK TO ENLARGE!!
Here's a Tee I knocked out this evening for Adelaide's Move To Strike, definitely check them out if you're into sweet rockin tunes! I decided to call this one "False Cathedral" mainly cause 1. There's a SHITLOAD of churches in radelaide and 2. The album False Cathedrals by Elliot is just plain amazing haha. So a cheeky little reference in there. I'll be posting some more MTS artwork sometime in the next few months as I'm collaborating on thier EP Artwork with Adelaide photographer Nat Thompson as well as knocking out another tee and a few other bits and pieces for the boys over the coming weeks.
Here's a couple of Myspace Layouts i whipped together yesterday. Yes, on a sunday...was great fun indeed haha. Fortunately the guys from Giants! and Fangs were kind enough to let me come up with my own concepts for the layouts so they were fun to work on. Especially the Fangs layout. Despite the fact that i was experimenting with the Fangs layout for a fairy long time, i was pretty stoked with the end result. Click on the images to enlarge them!
Right-o Right-0!! Ok so here's the finished product!!
I literally spent the last 5 hours playing around with different comps behind ol Frankie here, but everytime i threw new elements into the equation all it did was make it look far far too cluttered! So ended up keeping it nice and simple! Apart from the type treatment haha.
I'll be working on another version/extended version of this again soon for my own amusement and possibly will throw it onto threadless to see how it fares. So keep your eyes peeled! Have a great long weekend people!
PEACE
