Baltimore based graphic artist and dj, Logo has just finished up the teaser flyers for 2008 Baltimore Music Conference. I liked his illustrations since I first saw his work and this flyer really shows off the detail and intricacy of the characters and scenes he creates. Click the images below to see the larger flyers.

From the Buzzlife message boards, Logo tells us:

“Since this is a teaser flyer, the objective is to pique public interest in the BMC—sponsors, performers, and attendees alike. From the beginning, I knew I wanted to really emphasize the MORE MUSIC in “Baltimore Music Conference,” and since it’s a few months away, I thought it would be fun to add “IS COMING,” so that, at first glance, it reads “MORE MUSIC IS COMING.”

As soon as I thought about how those words would look on a flyer, I immediately envisioned a menacing Tripod War Machine from the War of the Worlds to kind of symbolize the approaching BMC.

Because the BMC showcases all types of music, I wanted the imagery to reflect music in general, and not get hung up on representing all types of instruments or audio equipment. So, morphing my SpeakerBot with a WOTW Tripod seemed like the way to make these two ideas work together.

H.G. Wells’ original story was written in 1898, and in 1938, a Martian Invasion mock news report was broadcast over the radio, creating mass hysteria.

Aesthetically, I wanted my flyer to reflect the stylistic qualities of the 1930s, but with a bit of a modern twist.
Thus the neo-Art Deco typefaces and flourishes.
Be on the lookout for posters which will hopefully be going up soon!”

I’ll be looking out for the posters, I might just have to steal me one.
