Coldplay Collaborative Poster Project

Here is another collaborative gig poster I did with Austin artist, Clint Wilson. This time we did a promo poster for a Coldplay performance in Houston at the Toyota Center, complete with free tickets to the show. It was amazing! They filmed the show for an upcoming movie. Everyone got bracelets that lit up with LED lights turning the amphitheater into a concave disco ball with the audience becoming part of the performance.

For this project the idea was for Clint and I to combine two different art techniques to create the resulting poster. So we made a fused glass piece together, took a photo, turned it into half-tone color separations, and then printed a silk-screened poster.

This was my first foray with half-tone color separations, I’ve mainly done single color screen printing, and Clint had never worked with fused glass before, so it was definitely a learning experience on both ends. So overall a successful collaboration.

Collaboration Poster with Gig Poster Artist Clint Wilson

This past weekend I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s show entitled “Dralion” in Houston at the Toyota Center. I have never seen a Cirque du Soleil show live, I’ve only seen clips on the Discovery Channel or TLC. It was fairly impressive.

For the show Clint Wilson, an Austin-based gig poster artist (who recently got published in the Random House book “GigPosters vol. 2”), and I designed a promotional art print. We screen printed 125 posters and also did a run of 10 in a red/gold variant. These guys will be for sale on Nakatomiinc.com after the show is finished running.

They liked this poster soo much they want us to work with them on more shows! : D
