I mentioned the other day that I’m working on some really nice flyers at the moment and this is one of ‘em. I’m very pleased with it. Moz as Doctor Doom, Robert Smith, Siouxsie, Martin Gore and Ian Curtis as the Fantastic Four (kind of).
I’m also pleased with the social media hack I found: people don’t seem to give a shit about flyer designs, but you can trick them into liking your illustration by removing the text.
This is a shame, because I take as much care in laying out the text as I do the illustration, but I will sacrifice that in exchange for the dopamine hit of finally being acknowledged for my art, haha. I think the text is an under-appreciated aspect of flyer design, and so many people will just slap a font on there. I probably spend longer hand-writing the text on my posters than I do the actual illustration. I think part of it may be my refusal to use rulers, so my wobbly lines clash with rigid letters. It’s all gotta be a little sloppy!
Here’s a version with the text, too, in case you’re in San Francisco and wanna go to a cool club.
