WIth The Black Eyed Peas
I'm such a huge fan of the NEPTUNES and N.E.R.D. that being able to do a poster for them was a highlight for me. As producers they can make anyone sound good.
Here I went nuts with the text and tried to make it part of the illustration. This has led me to go apeshit and spend hours try to do something new (new for me at least) with how I use text.
I was having issues with showing more of the breasts or not...but wanted to try it anyway. So I kept in mind to design it to be cropped. I didn't want to go for the money shot on this because the groups/ acts aren't about that. N.E.R.D. have a great Curtis Mayfield/ Motown vibe going on in their music. Which I dig. I was trying to go for that. Sexy but not stupid. Not sure if it works.
