the girl and the golden dragon

Fresh outta the sketchbook. Turbofire to Zenith art and poster concepts. I really have fun drawing this stuff.

turbofire to zenith - now on bandcamp

Turbofire to Zenith now has a home on the world wide web. We're kicking out the original score for this film. As a start we have the song featured in the teaser trailer, "7 headed golden dragon", on our bandcamp page. As the project goes on, look for the entire soundtrack to be released through our bandcamp page:

blast off hello - full color

I finished up the gouache painting on this poster concept today. Wish you could see this in person, the colors look better. Overall I'm really excited about this design. I'm going to do a bigger version of this, and hopefully have my friend Matt silkscreen some of these.

I'm probably going to make the lettering a little less goofy, and also work to make the squid pop a bit more from the background. But I want to keep with the feel of this piece. Looking forward to kicking out more poster designs soon.

blast off hello - color pass 1

Quickly painted this up with gouache today. I love drawing stuff like this, and then going for a surf. Ridiculous fun.

blast off hello

Here's a rough poster concept for Turbofire to Zenith. I'm really having fun with this idea. Going to put some color on this next. Want to try to apply some of the amazing colors I've seen out in the water recently during sunsets. Looking forward to making some big versions of these. Also...Turbofire to Zenith is going to have a page on bandcamp soon...

7 headed golden dragon

There were many, many of these barges, part of a large procession down the river. It was spectacular. This one is the royal barge. The most amazing part though was the sound. The singing and chanting of over 2,000 oarsmen echoing down the river.

hurtling towards space

Turbofire to Zenith poster concept...the band behind the original score of this film. I didn't originally plan on using the 3 primary colors on this one, but I dig how it turned out. Would love to later on do a bigger refined version of this, maybe silkscreen a few.

turbofire to zenith

Original music by Turbofire to Zenith. This is a poster concept I made recently. The idea is this colossal squid rocket is blasting off into outer space, with this cute petite SE Asian gal riding the squid rocket. The inspiration for this band name and this idea is all over the place, from The Neverending Story, to classic Chevy Turbo-fire engines, to Led Zeppelin, to Japanese depictions of rays of sunlight, to how surfing makes me feel.

Album cover concept for Turbofire to Zenith. This is the band for the film. A little bit of Morning of the Earth inspiration on this one. We're almost finished with the new long trailer music.
