Dark Lord Day 2016 poster

One of the highlights of my year is having a total blast making a poster for 3 Floyd's Brewing's annual Dark Lord Day event- and this year was awesome as I did an homage to Blade Runner!

Here it is:

Available now in my shop.

Dark Lord Day 2015

Here it is- the official poster for Three Floyds Brewing Company's annual bacchanal extraordinaire .  The theme this year was Frederick the Great and the Seven Year's War.  Lookit up on your Wikipedia and Brittanica, it was a doozy of history.  I poured that and scenes from the battle of Rossbach into my skeleton filter and came up with this: 4 color screenprint , edition of 450, 18 x 24 signed and numbered.  Most of these went to FFF, the rest are up in the shop.

 I also printed some rad testprints along the way.  I'll be adding those to the store , a few each day.

These are all up now in the SHOP.

Commissioned by the honchos at the Mighty 3 Floyds Brewing Co for this year's Dark Lord Day party.  Each year , for those of you not in the know, 3 Floyds brews up and releases for ONE DAY a very special brew known as DARK LORD.  Its delicious and inspires many around the country to come in for this annual event just over the border in Munster , IN.
The art direction received on this poster asked for Cold War era russian and american ski troops embroiled in a struggle over the Alaskan Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields.  My mind immediately went to the Eagle and the Bear Symbols, which quickly devolved into a Russian Bear and Sam the Eagle (from Muppets Fame) engaged in a stiff Karate fight.
In addition I was inspired by 1950's comics and Gary Panter's comics from the 1980s  to make it a faux 3-D looking poster, adding to the jarring beer goggles effect.

The poster is 18 x 24 inches and is a signed and numbered edition  of 650.  Most of the edition was sold at the Brewery on DLD.  I have my remaining copies for sale here in my shop.
