"Punk Rock: Origins!" Stamp Series
I'm in the process of redesigning my "Punk Rock: Origins!" stamp series. Here is the layout that I'm working with right now. If you can't tell, it's part of a decked-out leather jacket. I was thinking a lot about Klimt when I was making this, and ways that I could use studs/spikes/zippers/stitching/paint as compositional elements rather than as an attempt to render a realistic-looking jacket.
A couple things:
There are actually 5 different stamps (not including the title stamp), so the final wouldn't be Joey Ramone all over the place. Each stamp would repeat once for a total of 10 on the composition.
This is the UNTEXTURED version, intended to get a feel for the layout. This whole thing will be texturized + drawn better for the final.
The red and brown in the upper-right will be a bandana (paisley pattern) and an aged cotton shirt, respectively.
I'm planning on not using actual photographs of studs/spikes/zippers but instead building them and texturizing them. I'm not going for total realism here--hopefully I can find a nice middle-ground between real + unreal that will sit well with this context.
Those circular things are going to be spikes, hopefully.
The stamps are the sticker kind, so there won't be any perforation (I thought it would clash with the stitching around the edges). Also, I'm thinking less stitching in general for the patches (stamps).
Thoughts?
