Parkdale Vigoda: “Battling the crimes of rock!!”

parkdale-vigoda-medRezParkdale Vigoda Poster ~ Adobe Illustrator Illustration.

I did this illustration for my good friend, Meher Steinberg. He had just finished his solo album using the pseudonym “Parkdale Vigoda” and in addition to designing the CD sleeve I put together this poster to accompany various music and t-shirt bundles.

As a youth I was a comic book fan (still am but in a less dedicated fashion) and I had a great time recreating the look and feel of a Marvel comic from the 1970s. I incorporated the song titles into the image as graffiti and took some liberties in my portrayal of Parkdale (I’ve never come across a burning trash barrel in Meher’s neighbourhood).

Subsequently, I was gratified to see the poster up in the bathroom stairwell of a local bar, it’s not the Louvre, but you have to start somewhere.

I am a former freelance web developer and graphic designer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada with a previous history of working in the film and television industry.

I've recently taken the intimidating step of shuttering the web business to pursue my interests in illustration and animation. As things progress I'll post bits and pieces here.
