Poster for The Brutes

And this time a foray into the world of paper cuts. To give my illustration a slightly more three dimensional appearance, whilst still maintaining a naive, cartoon-like look, I got out my scalpel.  Photographing the cut-out elements set up as one scene, carefully lit to control the shadows, added subtle variations of tone and increased the interest in this simple, nearly monochrome design.

Here you can see the scale of the volcano and figures, and the initial photo before digital touching-up. I'm not sure if the hairy fella is a go-go gorilla, or numbskull neanderthal, but either way, the primitive beats of the Brutes have got him blowing his top! Will hopefully be adapted as a Brutes tee in the near future?
