Hi all, just thought I'd post this here in case anyone is interested... Last year I was contact by Dzxtinkt Originals LLC who commissioned me to design a poster based on the movie 'The Help'. Originally I was informed that the plan was to secure a license with Dreamworks to get it officially release...

No problem, Kevin actually posted the link on his Facebook account, but I really enjoyed it. Iron Giant is up there for me with the best posters Mondo have produced, and certainly Kevin's best piece of work so far.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, but there's a really interesting article by Kevin Tong in Dirty Laundry mag, where he discusses his thought process and shows a few early sketches for his Iron Giant print. Definitely worth a read...

Makes total sense James. I think my own problem stems from the fact I work all day in a busy studio, spending 8-9 hours on the mac and some days when I get home the last thing I want to do it get back on the computer or even pick up a pencil so I spend my spare time doing other things to relax. I gu...

Enjoying the experimentation here James. Im a huge fan of Justin Mezzells work and this has certain qualities that are similar to his stuff which is cool. This is going of on a bit of a tangent, but Im intrigued to know, when you work on this kind of personal "experimentation" stuff how do you find ...

I completely understand his frustrations, the licensing game is out of the reach of most normal artists, the only...

Just to suggest something completely different, this is what I created for my nephew's 2nd birthday. He now has to go through every letter as part of his bedtime routine. Who would have thought framed prints could be educational too! Ive done a few others for friends since making each one personal ...

Yeah exactly, but Ive seen Stout getting some tough press since Django dropped, on here and twitter. Some are calling him lazy, some claiming he has peaked. I was merely suggesting some alternative factors that may have influenced his work.

ps. where's the irony? it's obviously lost on me!

let me say.... MOST of the speculation on this page about Stout and his Schedule/workload/approach/etc is very wrong care to enlighten us? No, not really. Just felt like letting you know most of your speculation, along with others is incorrect. Very kind of you Sir. Ive never claimed to know Tyler ...

People writing imo in their posts. Unless your under mind crontrol, what you drymounting write is your opinion. Real pain would be if you missed out on the Les Miserables drop. Best Moss ever!!!!!! Thats the beauty of art, it's the least favorite Moss for me, IMO :lol: I hope you realised I was att...

I feel kinda sorry for Tyler at the moment. His style is very restrictive when it comes to layouts. He has nailed posters in the past but if he was to replicate the same layout on new posters he would get called out for being lazy. Trying to think up new ways of mixing it up, whilst sticking to that...

Yeah it aint perfect, but as an overall likeness you know its Jamie Foxx, weras on Stouts it could be any generic cowboy character, it just seems odd compared to his usual work which is normally so good
