Man or Astroman?
Tour Banner
I attended the same university around the same time as Brian Teasley who created the band Man or Astroman? A surf rock outfit with a sci-fi edge. I did a few design projects for the band. I painted custom drum heads and this gigantic tour banner. It was used as a back drop for the band to play in front of. 7′ x 14′, Oil & Acrylic on Canvas. It had a very circus side show vibe in person as it was eerily lit while everyone waited for the band to take the stage. I sketched out the composition and then used an old projector to project it on the banner to create a rough outline. This also included some photos I took of the band wearing sketched out Happy Finger hats from “5,000 Fingers of Dr T” (seen below). From there it was all painted free hand. It took me a couple months and my room wreaked of turpentine for a full year afterwards. It was worth it. I even did another one.
