‘God Help the Girl’ poster design WIP part 3.

God Help the Girl director Stuart Murdoch is the lead singer/songwriter of indie band Belle & Sebastian. In keeping with the bands bold two-tone album cover art I went for a minimal but more exciting full colour painting approach which should appease their fans with a single background colour to accompany each of the actor illustrations. The idea was if the illustration has a high saturation value then the background colour would be low saturation and vice versa. I later came across the Albers approach to colour studies which lead to finding the largest area of a hue from the actor illustration and producing a different colour within the same family for the background. I also attempted to combine these ideas with complimentary colours for each illustration and split complimentary colours to cohesively bring them all together.

Autographed art & meeting Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell.

So a couple of years ago I met Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell. This was a huge deal for me as Bruce Lee has been my idol since forever! So, naturally I brought along a piece of Bruce Lee inspired work for her to admire and sign. The poster is part of a graduate installation piece. Click the title above for a video link . Linda Lee Cadwell and her daughter Shannon Lee sign my poster! Click on the image for a deviantART link.  Me on the right, my brother Titus on the left and Linda Lee Cadwell.

After a brief conversation with my friend Jason Ng, who told me about his new designer clothing brand  u9ly Avenue  I told him about these designs and how I thought they would make cool T-shirts. I used the assets from a project I did with London Bus-Tops over the London 2012 Olympic Games, check out the  Behance project  I'm hoping we'll be able to work together in the future. The designs are now available to buy on my  Redbubble  &  Society6  stores Yuyanda's Blog of Art and Design, Animation and Illustration. 2020. All Rights Reserved.
