Hi #portfolioday! I'm Miles, illustrator/printmaker specializing in the making of bespoke gigposters with an intense/trippy bent and a psychedelic edge for the music industry. I love detail, figure drawing, texture, and figuring out new ways to get the most out of screen-printing ✨
Art print inspired by the song Creeping Death commissioned by Metallica Dead & Company gigposter for one of their May 2024 Sphere performances commissioned by the band. Polyphia 2023 Tour poster variant commissioned by Polyphia. Primus' A Tribute To Kings 2021 Tour print inspired by the Rush song Cygnus X1

My four posters for Dead & Co. (so far) #illustration #gigposter #skeletons
Illustration featuring a giant skeleton (Bertha) exploding out of the Sphere venue, surrounded by flora/fauna of the locale and characters, props and scenes from the Dead's visual history. A Dead-inflected interpolation of the Buddhist Wheel of Life Illustration depicting an interconnected set of houses and structures inhabited by visual icons of The Grateful Dead. The scene features a slightly spherical perspective to echo the Sphere venue. Illustration celebrating the city of San Francisco and the community fostered by decades of the Dead's music. Lots of locale-specific details packed with skeletons and animals.

Wow!

So while I still wish this case would’ve gone to trial, and believe the amount given per work should have been EVEN higher, $1.5 billion in settlement AND the destruction of infringing datasets is still a fantastic start! Congratulations to all those involved as these things are not easy!

This was the *point* of these things being taken up by corporations. If you're just hiring people to "fix" something, you can pay them less than if you're asking them to create it -- even though it requires them to do more work.

In particular this was the reason for the WGA strikes around this.

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding.

Lineart > color > patterns > painting 🐟
Step by step of making art work of a school of fish. 1. Flat color base with lineart 2. Filling in the fish with flat colors 3. Adding patterns and details to the fish bodies 4. Painting over the individual layers with dynamic sweeping shadows and lights to make the fish look shimmering

New work for Widespread Panic's three nights in Boston! 🌿🦖☄️🦖🔥
Illustration depicting a pair of tyrannosauruses in forest of bones and ferns engaged in a territorial dance as the burning sky threatens to fall down around them. Since this is a gigposter for the southern jam band Widespread Panic, the band name appears in archetypal psychedelic fashion (hidden in plain sight).

New poster for tonight's Slightly Stoopid show in Irvine, CA 🧜🏻‍♀️🌿💀🏖️🌊 #slightlystoopid #skeleton #mermaid #beach #california #gigposter
With this poster, I was inspired by the band’s visuals and tour name to dive into familiar nautical themes, freezing the moment a skeletal surfer catches the attention of an emerging mermaid who may now be tempted to “step into the sun,” above. The background references the area (particularly the nearby Twin Points at Laguna Beach) while the foreground is comprised of a kelp forest populated by various corals, fishes and other assorted sea creatures found in the locale. Everything is tied together by the motion of the clouds above, the intermediate wave which displays the band’s name while connecting the two worlds in the middle and the drift of the seaweed below. To me this illustration can be boiled down to the importance of holding space for curiosity towards others; a sentiment I find increasingly important to center and strive for.⁠

On this day in 2022: my first (and so far only) poster for Phish in my hometown of Toronto, Canada! 🐉🔥🦅 #phish #toronto #illustration #posterart
Enormous stylized dimensional letters spelling the name PHISH burst with energy, expressing the transcendental elemental chemistry of the band connecting the heavens to the earth via Toronto’s most prominent landmark (the CN Tower). Flying saucers descend, abducting/elevating silhouetted citizens and symbols of the city (trash panda, moose, Kensington’s garden car, etc). The landscape of condos and skyscrapers is suffused with smoke emanating from the dance between a dragon and phoenix, referencing my Chinese heritage and the immigrant energies which fuel the city. The image playfully mixes a variety of genres while flexing well-practiced drawing chops to achieve artistic apotheosis, echoing the core ethos of the band.
