pretty little monster
poster sketch
pretty little monster - jacket
The epitome of emo punk fashion, a great leather jacket with zippers opened to reveal black and red stripey material. If I found a jacket like this today, I would probably wear it too.
Fun fact: The silhouettes for these designs came from The Sims 2, which I played avidly.

pretty little monster - delicacy
Fun fact: Further evidence that I was a serious emo - I had written a lot of poetry/songs around this time, so those listed on the album cover really exist, deep in the darkweb that is my high school computer archives.
the revival of pretty little monster
In 2012, I was taking high school Information Processes and Technology - a computing course. There was an assignment to create a multimedia presentation about any subject we wanted. And I chose to go back to my roots and revive, renew and give extra backstory to my 6 year old fictional band.
delicacy cover v2
I intended for this to be an improvement over the 2010 version, but effectually... I don't think it was. The moon texture looks even less realistic. The white text is hard to read. And the silhouette, rather than being a cheap but honest tracing of me, was a vector stock graphic, so ambiguous with its hair flipping that you can't even determine where they are looking.
more - group shot
A slightly more realistic portrayal of the band. However, the poses were directly ripped off from a Paramore photo shoot.
not your weapon - album cover
This was intended to convey the darker turn my band took as the years went by. Less pop. More bleak. The overlaid eyes are mine. And the spider and the girl in the middle are personal sketches that I re purposed.
character portraits
Individual portraits for each character. On the downside, these were directly traced from internet images. On the upside, I like that I actually tried to be dynamic and fresh with the colour pallete and shadows.
