Re: contracted artwork in 2002
not sure if this is new or not, but i found this whilst browsing:
In 2002 a newly reformed Guns N' Roses started their "Chinese Democracy" tour of the US and beyond... unfortunately they self-destructed 3 concerts into the tour. But right before this meltdown JT was contracted to do t-shirt and promotional posters concepts.
artwork available on the link below.
not sure if this guy was given any material to work from, or if he designed all this crap from scratch...wouldn't mind finding out what his brief was for this....and how he got the gig in the first place...

Re: contracted artwork in 2002
he he, like he said, i think the "02 meltdown" was the reason why none of it got used....
It's a shame it looks really cool. I wonder if there's a chance he was involved in designing cover art for the album as well?
Re: contracted artwork in 2002
his client list doesn't include anyone who may be related to the music industry.....reading his biog, and looking at the work itself, i'd guess he's friends with a promoter of some sorts, and perhaps they commissioned him to do some work for some advertising for whichever concerts were still coming up....obviously didn't happen....he also seems Canadian, and a small time player....
i doubt gnr or interscope would use a freelancer for any of their work....i'd guess someone in the LA or NY area would get preferential treatment, and definitely a registered business, as opposed to a guy working from home....
he also says he was contracted to develop "concepts"....very often you get asked to come up with an idea, which you get paid for, and then they take it elsewhere for finishing and further integration.....so maybe the 02 artwork that we know originated from this dude....
who knows....i'm tempted to drop him a mail and ask him....
