That’s right, you recognized the font, didn’t you? Yes, Justin Kamerer (Angryblue) is the author, and he created way too much dark stuff for metal bands to make their music even creepier. and he is not gonna stop, this is just the beginning. As he likes to call himself, he is an “art whore” and he has all the reasons in the world to be pleased of himself, because his art is to be found nearly everywhere, from posters, album art, t-shirts, hoodies, skins for i-phones, tattoos and the list continues. God knows on what may have people printed his works on.
Here are just some of the bands he has created art for: Metallica, GWAR, The Killers, Nirvana, nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, My Chemical Romance, Genesis, Paul McCartney and even Ashlee Simpson.
Although he started in the digital are as a web designer, doing websites, he soon realized that he was indicated for art, so he worked with a company called Bravado Merchandising, where he had the opportunity to experience a lot in the artistic field, and he created also a strong portfolio. He became the distinguished illustrator and graphic designer that he is today, and he is “still growing”, as he likes to say. His friend and art partner, Jeral Tidwell (Humantree) helped him a lot in his decision to quit his job and pursue his dream.
Justin Kamerer artworkJustin Kamerer artworkJustin Kamerer artwork He is one of the 3 members of Monument studio (monumentstudio.com), the place where he attempts to take over the world through art. Also, alongside Tidewell, he has been of a sustainable support for his native place, Louisville, and he is an crucial rock art source for hot topic merchandise. He has done tons of sketches, and he likes to draw and paint with India ink, and then take it to the computer to add colors and textures. He used to do that with Adobe Illustrator, but then realized that with Photoshop he could experience a lot more with textures and raw results, and the image was not so big as in Illustrator. Let’s not forget about Ink Alchemy, the project that I already talked in my previous post, about Jeral Tidwell. I will post them again, because the work belongs to both of them in the same manner:
