• QUEEN ROCK ART POSTER 1979 •

My first ever, paid, commission, came whilst I was at art college in Liverpool.

I think I saw a ad in NME asking for artists to work on rock posters, well who could resist that kind of offer?

I'd just seen Queen in concert at the Liverpool Empire and had taken a couple of reels of b/w film as reference shots.

The artwork was around A1 in size and produced using airbrush, inks, water colour, gouache and colour pencil, and I still have the original tucked away in a drawer.

I delivered it by hand on the train down to London and received a big fat cheque for £260, and felt pleased to have earned my first payment for illustration work.

I went on to illustrate Pink Floyd, Police and Yes, the latter two being published in the book Visions of Rock.

Well I'm still embargoed from revealing three of the nicest panda characters you're likely to meet on a soft drinks bottle!
So, here's some work that is on display right now and it's nationwide, in Nationwide!
A nice set of three posters commissioned by Sphere Design in Liverpool.
They were big, I mean really biiiiiig. At one point, mid job, and with all the layers active, the file was hogging over 3Gb of disk space. To see them at their finest then pop along to your nearest branch, otherwise you can click on the image to magnify but remember they are strictly copyright©
