Logo sheet for 2024! Again I'm grateful that I get to work with so many incredible artists.
My DM's are open if you have any questions about commissions or you'd like to be booked in for a rebrand!
PSA if you're going to hire an artist, don't do what this person did. It's incredibly rude.
That "just a logo" is a culmination of YEARS of hard work, practice and study.
If something is out of your price range, don't question them, just move on.
Just want to clear some things up that I've seen tweets about in the last few hours. Whether they're directly about me, or not.
No I'm not doing this for 'clout' and it's ludicrous to think I am.
No I'm not trying to take away from anyone's release. I'm super happy for anyone
Oh go on then maybe one more post.
@Exilledub
logo time-lapse for you.
I haven't done one of these for a while because im super busy and they take extra work to record / edit. So if you truly do like them and want more, please be sure to let me know so i know its worth it!
I usually stay out of "Drama" like this, but i have close ties with FFA, so i just wanted to say my piece.
I've seen countless comments, largely from IG (some even in Martins DM's) saying FFA handled this inappropriately and that its not the artists fault. It's grim.
I know
The only thing that will stop labels pulling this shit is if the musicians stand up to them and ask for actual art from actual artists. This shit isn't copyrightable. They're putting YOUR reputation and YOUR release at risk.
Never thought I'd see the day where I can live in my own place on my own art. But here we are.
Thank you everyone that has supported me over the last 10+ years. I can't wait to see what the future brings!
unfortunately due to massive demand im having to stop taking commissions for logos at the moment! thank you all for your unbelievable interest / support, it really means a lot!
Come on man if you're going to be an asshat and use Ai, at least try to make it not look like complete shit. Why anyone would choose to release here, I have no idea. They clearly just don't give a fuck.
If you paid to commission somebody for art and you then found out weeks / months down the line that it was composited using Ai generated images and touched up with added colour / texture, what would your reaction be?
And no this isn't based around me or my plans 😅😂
@ImFigure
It's wank that your stuff got taken down. But lowering art to being just "a jpeg" is an issue here. People pour years into their craft just as much as you do music.
You'd be a bit miffed if the shoe was on the other foot and the music you've spent days, weeks, months on was
so i found out that the art for sounds of suffering and symphony of the wretched are AI art. even though i think they look sick, i dont want to be known as the guy using AI art for covers. these will be scrapped and i've already commissioned a new artist for all future art. i
Just a little landscape painting i painted trying to figure out new styles / ways of working. Let me know if youd like to see more of this kind of style from me!
Just wanted to thank everyone again one last time in 2023 for the support.
Whether it's directly through commission, liking / sharing / commenting on posts, or by recommending me to friends / peers. I really appreciate it all.
Let's make 2024 just as great!
My skills are increasing.
Making a video as we speak showing my process and how I get these results. The level of artistry needed, the technical knowledge required, and amount of work involved I think is going to shock people.
Decided I'm just going to post art whatever it is i make. I'm not going to follow pre-conceptions of what i think my followers want to see anymore (mostly logos & album art). Hey maybe it will even help grow a new audience :)
Thank you every one for a pretty sick 2023! Hopefully next year will be just as good!
As always if you want to book in for Logos / release covers / illustration then hit me in the DM's!
A year ago today you made it possible through your support for me to be able to move into a home I'd purchased. I'm forever grateful for the support then, and now.
Here's to many more years!
Thanks for all the kind words after this mornings post. It's nice to see that the vast majority of people are very supportive!
Now for some more up-beat news, I have re-worked the way i present logos in posts and I'm VERY excited to show you :)
Just a PSA to anyone looking for art DO NOT use SwitchWave. Dude is notorious for using other peoples work and claiming it as his own. I've posted a few examples below for you. 1/2
Just want to thank everyone again for the support. To say its been overwhelming is an understatement!
I'll be sure to post when I can open my commissions again.
Thank you! 💙
