Saggy bottom speedo

I’ve decided to illustrate the song, ‘Saggy bottom speedo’ by Desmond & the tutus for my college brief. The brief is illustration based and requires the designer to interpret two songs by one band/artist. So…this is my second illustration, always wanted to illustrate a song in a poster format. So here is my chance...oh btw the initial sketch started in a theory lecture! Amazing how the mundane can inspire...

I really enjoyed doing this and I dig the colours! Played around with some very subtle gradients, kept the colour scheme minimal, and played around with a minimalist background. All in all I believe it is a true reflection of who I am as an illustrator and a designer at the moment. It is very addictive and satisfying when you can see how you grow from one piece to another.

Anyway, keen to get this printed about A5/A6 size so I can frame it and stick it on my wall. Trying to frame my work as I go along…just to build up a little collection of some of the better work I’ve done. Keen
