Reverend Blues.


Reverend Blues!

Tony Cortez isn't your normal pastor, he's also a blues musician as well. One good description of him and his music is described as such.

"For many people it’s a natural assumption that the blues is the devil’s music but this is not the case when it comes to Rev. Blues. The Rev. uses the blues as a way to communicate the gospel truth about sin and redemption. His music is not only entertaining but it also helps those who struggle with the daily burdens of life. The Reverend's music speaks about how we can over come life’s obstacles with a little bit of faith, hope and love."

In exchange for a cool custom blues tune for my podcast The Illustrative Designer I agreed to help him out with a logo design.

Listen to the music Tony produced here.

Thanks Ryan. I appreciate that.

A big part of pulling this specific style off is to have decent photo reference and then create a good foundation to then work from.

All of this is covered in a tutorial I did on this project which I'll post at IllustrationClass.com soon. I am just waiting for the Spanish translation on my notes to get done then it'll go live.
