Rumble in The South Pacific: Massive Holiday Explosion……uth
Here is a commission I did back in July or something, kind of intermixed with around the whole footlocker fiasco. It was an anniversary present, so I promised I wouldn’t put anything up on the site until it was gifted. Anyways, now that its christmas, and it has been girfted, what could be more fit… LETS GET TROPICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO, havent posted for a while. BUT, doesn’t mean I havent been busy. The month of november was pretty much dedicated to some illustration jobs I had to finish up. Sadly, this meant that I didnt get much done on “The Tempest,” but!……. thats the breaks. On the plus side it gave me a lot of time working on my tablet. I feel like I finally have a grasp on these programs which I always just used a few aspects of. Granted, I still probably use only 3% of the programs capacity……But!…..i use that 3% pretty dang good. lol.
Anyways, there are three projects here. First, is a wine label for Philip Shaw Wines. Not only amazing, award winning wines, but also amazing people. I flew down to Orange, NSW for a quick inspirational trip. Saw some amazing plants and animals and met some amazing people. Each of the animals is one that I saw on my trip and each one also serves as a caricature of a person I met while down there. I also included a process shot that kind of breaks up the layers I work in and shows my digital method.
Next, is an Album cover for The Neu Music. Neu is an amazing musician, producer, and long time friend. We both kind of started doing our thing around the same time and have kind of progressed in parallel. Recently though he has far surpassed me and is truly creating awesome f@*$ ing music every day and finally getting recognized for it. Another group he is a part of called Head of the Herd is popping off as well and has been touring a lot lately. They will be playing the Commodore in Vancouver December 20th, opening up for The Sheepdogs. Anyways, His album drops December 21st and will be downloadable from his website www.TheNeuMusic.com .
And finally, I’m designing the jerseys for my old team back in Vancouver. This sample I have here will be a full chest design printed in full color sublimation. In my honest opinion……. these will be so sick. lol. Not because of my design but the company that will be printing them, Five Ultimate, consistently does an awesome job and these jerseys are guaranteed to blow your mind! I may be doing an order of them for the general public sometime in Febtober or something. Just keep your eyes peeled on my facebook page, Kalin Thompson’s Art. Or feel free to email me if your interested, kalinthompson@gmail.com.
These are the last commissions I will be taking for a while. I apologize for this, but I need the time to work on my own projects. The tempest will need about 1000 hours or more till i can finish it and, time doesn’t grow on trees, lol, so I gotta get my grind on for a bit. If you are interested in commissioning me, shoot me an email and I will put you in the Que for when I finish.
Enjoy the pics!
(Sorry, no timelapse. More will come in the new year)
