Work for a flyer

Good Morning Internet. On this auspicious anniversary of my birth I humbly offer artworks for a flyer that I've been working on. Enjoy.

Just a letter

An Open Letter to Marv Films:

In your 2009 film Harry Brown, there is a startling parallel to the staged riot in estate and the actual riots that have rocked the cities of London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol, Medway and Leicester. Whenever I think about the footage that was captured I can't help but recall one of Michael Caine's best lines in the film: "...to them out there, this is just entertainment." I understand that being an outsider looking, I will not totally get what and how it happened. Still, after everything I've seen, I think your work of fiction contains more fact than any other film. Somehow you've managed to capture such a realistic state of anarchy. I commend you for frightening and educating me. I hope that in future you continue to show all of humanity's colors, even those we would rather not see.

Sincerely

-Ari Brown

New Work

Here is some new characters that I've been doodling.

So after revisiting seventh sanctum the prompt read:

a depressed policeman who is guided by a wizard"

and after some thumbnail work (that got lost and i apologize in advance) this is what i've come up with

This is Police Officer Dick Hammond.
He's been down in the dumps for the last few years because every time he takes the detective's exam he fails quite miserably. So he's been walking the same beat for close to 15 years and it's time to change. One day, while responding to a noise complaint coming from an old church, Dick comes to know that the noise is coming from behind a door, an impossibly old one (older than the church he's standing in). That's when his life is changed forever...

This is Zardoz
Born in the mid 1600s he has lived his life in many forms and many places. When he and his kind were forced from England and sought refuge among the English colonists coming to the new world. He lives in the space between spaces, the time inside a second or a blink and observes through his many windows. Until one day, someone barges into his house. Reasonably he's thinking "How did that happen?"

here is a revisit to the gunslinger from the other week:

Postcard

To all who are concerned (and you should be) check your mailboxes because this'll probably be in your mailbox.

Lets get things started off with my side character:

Meet Kathy, yet another misunderstood techno genius. She's been working at the New Apollo Corporation for five years and just cares about working with new technological gadgets ... oh and the paychecks of course. Her time at the company has earned her the title of "Director of research and Development". She bosses around people like this guy:

(I reworked him a bit)

Who used to look like this:

And she guides him around via radio contact so they can get to places like this:

(on my to-do list to rework)

to mess with guys like this:

(also on my to-do list to rework)
