The Silver Surfers

My friend Greg has his own band called "The Silver Surfers". They play at a couple of local pubs and although they haven't got a 'regular' gig, they do play at The Continental Hotel in Claremont, fairly regularly. As they were starting to do some serious gigs he came to me and asked me to knock up a couple of posters for the band.
These images were compiled (I won't say created) with Photoshop 3.0.5. Click on the thumbnails for larger versions.

We started with a raw scan of Joe Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien" CD cover and removed the background.
Check out the CD, Joe's a legend!

On the 'net we found another scan from a Silver Surfer comic and decided to see what that would look like. We didn't like it much.

The cropped scan worked fine. The white box is for the name of venue and appearance date to be written in.

I learnt how to use Photoshop's skew and distort tools and had a go at the band name.

The final image without the box made it onto the desktop of Greg's Win95 machine.

The Silver Surfer is a Trademark of Marvel Comics and Š1987.

That's enough? Go somewhere else...
