311 poster for Montreal, QC – 2018

This is my first poster for 311. I have been a fan of their roster of poster artists for a bit and stoked to be asked to be a part of it.

I originally drew some inspiration for the concept from the original name of the venue, Metropolis. It has a very art nouveau-vibe and led to a bunch of early sketches that touched on the French element of the area. The club eventually changed their name to MTELUS, which I’m not sure what that means but in keeping with a lot of their current tour posters I wanted to push the trippy space vibe. From this I came up w/ our current headdressed space beauty / cosmic mistress. The colors originally reflecting the red & blue of Montreal but eventually i said screw it for a more eye-popping cosmic neon color palette.
