Lone Soldier Print



This poster is done in response to the new army recruitment ads that are being shown at the moment.

The ads are targeting young people who are used to gaming and using technology.
If you havent seen them check them out here .

If you've played call of duty or any other war game you'll see the similarities strait up.

The recruitment "stores" are geared towards the same demographic. they almost look like gaming centres!

By presenting army duty as something where u can "prove your smarts" , these ads are basically bullshitting us. Army duty is where u learn to become a killing machine. Army vets suffer deep trauma, even more so when the reasons theyre fighting are not what they've been told.

So this poster is basically saying: don't think you're going to join the army to stop terrorism, because by joining, you're prolonging the already deep rooted problem.

Poster!

Been working on this one for the past week,
its based on everyone being tired of the soap opera entertainment soundbyte a minute style of US politics...well actually in the UK its becoming like that too but...US is more interesting.
Plus Gordon Brown and Downing street would be boring to draw.

Might get it printed onto Ts...

First print more preview pics




Been experimenting with different colors for the print,
first I'm gona stencilize the two underlying layers, then screenprint the more detailed black layer.
hopefully it'll come out with that pleasant imperfect sprayed on look combined with clean cut vector sharpness. Thats what Im going for anyway.
