ACTIVATE! launches Pride Friday, June 27th
Was a bit busy today. I’m working on ads for a new weekly event starting at the Lookout in San Francisco. ACTIVATE! (a pxlforge logo design) launches Pride Friday, June 21st 2008! It IS a superhero themed Pride party so expect deuling DJ’s, hot gogo boys and high profile guest stars decked out and dancing.

Illustrations all begin on paper. I first come up with a pose I like and once I’ve finished a basic version of the figure, I break out the vellum and design the clothes on a new layer so I can doodle all over it as I brainstorm. After The costume overlay is finished, then I draw the costume on my figure and ink it before scanning the image and coloring the file in Photoshop with dozens of multiplied layers over the black and white artwork.

The character is based on San Francisco night owl and promoter Lord Martine. All the images I create for the campaign will be based on people involved with the weekly event.
