So this happened...
For my last project of 2021 - I was commissioned to create a shirt design for @METALLICA and their #FifthMember fan club!!!
.
These are only available via Metallica's shop! I won't have any and there will NOT be prints made! So if you're digging this go to the #METALLICAstore. https://www.metallica.com/.../fifth.../5THBESOTBT.html
PLEASE tag me if you do get one!!!
.
Freelancing last year KICKED MY ASS!!! Some projects were great and some never happened. #grumblegrumble So I'm happy to have ended my year with a project that was fun, easy, and pushed me to grow as an artist. Everyone on the #METALLICA team was rad and great to work with!!!
.
The best part is that they credit the artists who work with them. THANK YOU! More bands and merch companies should do this!
.
I hope to do more with @METALLICA and their team! #nudgenudgewinkwink
.
The most difficult part was keeping my fat mouth shut about getting the project and all the work I turned in. FINALLY... I can blabber about it!
.
.
BIG THANKS to the homie Steven Ciancanelli for helping me improve my coloring skills on this one!
.
I made a video of the art process for this piece. I'll post that soon.
.
The original art will get posted for sale at a later date.
