Working in studio, I spend a lot of time listening to music and various podcasts. As a teenager I started listening to Adam Carolla when he was on Loveline in the 90s, and continue to listen today. He’s now a touring comedian, with a popular podcast. When the Fillmore Silver Spring booked him, I was more than happy to be tapped to make a poster for him.
It’s a three-color screenprint, the last being a black overlay. I had originally thought to make the black layer slightly transparent so to allow the face underneath barely visible. But a lot of ink extender and transparent base are needed to mix with the black, and when you use too much extender, you get cloudy blotches of dark and light… so I opted for the solid black.
The image with the wrestling mask in the set below was the first pass at this poster. Adam as a luchador. The client went for the second option instead but I thought it was fun enough to post here. Pardon my [rough] Spanish.
