I recently did a poster for System of a Down‘s concert at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, as part of the festival’s Rock Art exhibition. It was huge fun, with the added bonus of impressing the hell out of my son’s friends. The poster was shown at an outdoor exhibition (along with posters by some of my favourite artists), and a framed copy was presented to the band in their dressing room before the show. The next day Serj Tankian Instagrammed it, so hopefully that means he thought it was okay:

A couple of people have asked about the original art. This is what it looks like:

The big drawing is on A2 paper (594 x 420mm, 23.4 x 16.5 in), and I assembled (and coloured) it all in Photoshop, making various small changes to the fire and a few faces, etc.
