Soapmakers Logo/Bio

Rev. Shakes — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:53:40 +0000

Here’s cool logo and a gritty bio I’ve created for a local, Vancouver trio. Enjoy…

From amongst the hidden hills of Mount Sapo, three Good Workmen emerged. Their faces covered in ash, their boots caked in animal fat, their hands…their hands still dripping with blood. The Soapmakers had arrived. The Village was grateful for the arrival of the ‘Three Who Cleanse Us All’. But this year was different. This year the Soapmakers broke tradition.

After 15 years of hearing only the steady rhythm of their working tools, occasionally accompanied by the screams of unwilling sheep, the Soapmakers have broken their vows of silence. For the first time the Soapmakers spoke. Slowly and softly they explained that they have been called to ‘Cleanse the World’. They would move down from the Mount and into the World to spread the knowledge and wisdom of their ancient Craft.

Determined to continue their Mission to ‘Cleanse the Souls of People and Free the Heart of Man,’ the Soapmakers deliver an earthly mix of heavy, steady rhythms with the cries and chants of a celebratory, sacrificial night.

The Soapmakers are here. Prepare yourselves. You have been warned.

My entry for the Filmed By Bike Film Festival promotional flyer.

I don’t know what the winning submission looks like yet, but it’s probably something not nearly as classy as this piece of beauty. For more info on the Filmed By Bike fest, check out filmedbybike.org

Ok, I don’t really get why this flyer didn’t go over, but then again, I have no taste. I thought it was a pretty cool design overall, but what do I know…?

How could you not love this? Is it just me, or is this one bad-ass design? I worked for days on this, trying to replicate the way old-school Easy Rider posters. I searched through thousands of fonts and hundreds of pictures – not to mention the hours smoothing out his god-awful pokey knees and making his crotch nice and crispy – to put this together and the good boys of Hollowdog couldn’t get behind it. So be it. RIP Dennis Hopper….
