Star Wars - Reinterpretation of A New Hope
When Topps contacted me about this project, Part of me was screaming YES while the other was hesitant about even trying to reinterpretate this CLASSIC film poster... I was swayed by Mr Waldeck to go for it using my style of illustration... Along with 8 other selected artists who have each contributed their re-imagining of what is possibly one of the most well known film posters in history.
Original Illustration
For a bit of fun I wanted to see how the artwork would look with added Billing Block, Titles, with a little weathering and creases as though it had been folded up and been in storage for a number of years :)

Official AMC 'The Walking Dead' Art Print
As a relative newbie to the show, I honestly had avoided the series even though it was extremely popular, I've never been a big Zombie fan, but due to being asked to join in on this project with HCG and AMC I found myself renting season one, watching it in 5 days, then renting season 2 and watching it over a weekend... I am hooked!
What I loved so much about the story is that it is about the people, their characters and relationships, dealing with a reality that the World as they know it has pretty much come to an end...
I knew then how I wanted to tackle this piece... focusing on the Heroes, the people.
The Walking Dead Season 1 SDCC Poster by Drew Struzan
I recalled Drew Struzan creating a Zombie heavy SDCC poster for Season 1... I saw that and thought, well, thats what our heroes are facing right there...
How about we show the zombies point of view in this one...

Illustrating the Birth of Whiiite Comic Book
My first fully illustrated comic book from cover to cover!...is here!
There has been blood, sweat and tears working on this project... I'm kidding!
It was however a huge challenge realising this story through to completion... A long process, and let me tell you, I have a new appreciation for the comic book artists that do this on a daily basis... you guys... HUGE RESPECT!
Here are some of the initial sketches I did on my iPad while working through the story with Chris and Aric (using Paper by 53) and the final corresponding artwork finalised in Sketchbook Pro
Here are a few examples of the finished pages...
And now, this is pretty cool... another project (see NTSF:SD:SUV::) where my artwork has been re-imagined and animated for video ...with an Original Score by Chase Brawner...
I really hope you enjoy the comic book... This is issue #1 and the start of Whiiite's journey!
Visit Whiiite's homepage for details on how to get hold of the comic and be sure to check out his music too!

Bad Milo - One Sheet Illustration
Just announced: Film Poster/One Sheet I illustrated for the film Bad Milo.
Exclusively premiered on BloodyDisgusting.com today:
And picked up by Ain't It Cool News!
Some really nice words on the poster design from both of these sites - Thanks so much guys - pleased you dig it!
“Bloody Disgusting has premiered a new one-sheet for BAD MILO (formerly known as MILO), and they’re qualifying it as a contender for “best poster of the year”. I don’t blame them. This is more of a genuinely striking, tonally-ominous poster that we’ve seen for a theatrical release in recent memory.”
Kudos to Gravillis Inc great working with them again.

The Lone Ranger - Illustrated Fan Poster
When I first heard about Disney's Lone Ranger movie coming out - I thought, what a perfect movie for an illustrated one sheet! I got very excited to see what may come of the official poster...
I felt an opportunity had been missed and so, I decided to create a poster that I thought could be deemed worthy of The Lone Ranger...
I only hope you agree... much like the JJ Abrams Star Trek posters, this is a personal project, just for fun...and for the love of the old movie posters I grew up with.
Lone Ranger - Illustrated One Sheet Design
I'm always listening to music while I work and in particular this track from the Lone Ranger Score by Hans Zimmer really got me pumped while working on the poster...
Back in 1981, The Legend of the Lone Ranger quite rightly had an illustrated poster... plus there are some comprehensives that Master Drew Struzan created for the film poster design... and a collectable plate illustration from 1994

Saturday Morning TV Show - Batman
When I was a kid I watched many TV shows on Saturday mornings, but one of the earliest I can remember is watching re-runs of the old Batman TV series with Adam West in the lead role. When I was asked to participate in the latest Gallery show at L|td Gallery, this is what sprung to mind for me... Holy blast from the past Batman!...

Ltd. Art Gallery Presents: SATURDAY MORNING
As a child, Saturday mornings were a playground for our imaginations. It was the beginning to the weekend and school was in the rearview mirror. Nothing was sweeter than waking up early, making your way to living room, and taking a journey 30 minutes at a time. Ltd is very excited to present our newest group art show: SATURDAY MORNING. Over 50 artists reflect upon a time when all they needed was a bowl of cereal, their pajamas....and the TV.

Celebrating 'Pacific Rim' with the 'Poster Posse'
Over at Blurppy.com there is something going on - We're celebrating exciting movies we can't wait to see... this time round it's Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim that gets the Poster Posse treatment and there is so much of it that Blurppy had to do two phases.... over 2 days... both of which are now LIVE.
Here's What Blurrpy had to say...
“So far this year Blurppy has had 2 Poster Posse Projects. The first was for World War Z and the second was for Star Trek Into Darkness. For our third project I knew we HAD to tackle Guillermo del Toro’s, “Pacific Rim.” The sheer size and scale of the robots and monsters along with Toro’s amazing vision made Pacific Rim a no-brainer.”
Check out the artwork from over 24 Artists here: Phase One: Phase Two:
