Feats Of Strength 7 Poster Art

My good friend and fellow rock scaler Paul Jung asked me if I would be interested in doing a poster for this years "Feats of Strength " bouldering competition . The event is held at the Cliffs Climbing Gym in Valhalla , New York, and has been going on for the past 6 years.Since the name Valhalla has deep connections to Norse Mythology , we figured it would be fun to have some sort of Viking theme for the poster. The image above is the final poster with all the information one should need if interested in attending the event.

Below is the painting without the text, sponsors, etc..

WMCC Rendezvous 2011

Saturday October 1st. marks the return of the Western Mass Rendezvous. The Festivities will kick-off once again at Wendell State Forest at 8 a.m as in past years but the evening excitement will move to Central Rock Gym in Hadley where a full line up of events are planned.

This years event is to include a wide range of activities, including climbing, biking , and kayaking. The focus of the event is to raise funds in which are to be used to protect New England's outdoor playgrounds.

As in years past I was asked to design a promotional poster for the event. So I created this image and the Jeff Squire at the WMCC handled the text and layout. Always a fun project to work on, and for a great cause!

Brien threw a few concepts at me to work with and this post shows what we came up with..

It's that time of year again and the climbing season in New England is right around the corner, and with comes a lot of great things. One of them is the Western Mass Rendezvous.

I handled the imagery and WMCC president Jeff Squire took care of the layout and type setting. This was a fun collaboration to benefit a great cause ..If you are in the area be sure to check out the event!

Finished poster art

Here is the finished art work for the poster I designed for Prime Climb's Power Struggle 4 bouldering competition. I wanted to keep it pretty flat and as graphic as possible , which is tough for me to do, as I love to over work things. I created the color palette for this from an old Winsor Mc Cay comic strip. If you are interested in seeing the image with text included or to find out about the bouldering competition, visit Prime Climb on Facebook.Look for the event titled Power Struggle 4.
