The Spies

So I had a brief chat today with one of the band members of the spies who seemed pretty open to suggestion as to what he required yet also quite particular. I was given some image to work on and develop. Firstly i was adviced to go listen to their music thoroughly and get a real vibe as to what they do. This is where i was sent to.

I was also shown some of their favorite art work which came in the form of Joy Divisions unknown pleasures album, which looks something a little like this.




I was also shown this which is there previous album cover, in order to get a further feel for their style. I was told that its was all about the minimal in the sense of drawing style and colour pallet. Black and white with maybe the introduction of one colour and lineal drawings is the vibes i get from Jamie.



In terms of subject matter I was shown this drawing and told to expand upon this concept but with that Joy Division kind of style.



In the next few days I intend to do several sketches and see how I can progress this. So lets see what happens . . . .
I have to say I am looking forward to this as it will give me an opportunity to do some work that is more suited to my illustrative/fine art style.
