Haste The Day - Forest Fire Shirt/Poster

When I was in high school, destined for stardom in my awful metalcore band, Haste the Day was one of my favorites, and biggest influences. Fast forward 10 years, and I was able to do a shirt/poster design for them to be released with pre-ordered for their latest album "Coward" on Solid State Records.

The idea was to take one piece of art, and turn it into two cohesive pieces that compliment one another. I would usually approach this in some symmetrical ying/yang ordeal, but wanted it to be something fluid, something that ACTUALLY connected, instead of complimented.

We decided to go forward with this forest fire idea - where it starts with the trees standing tall, catching fire, burning and falling down, and then we're left with nothing at the other side.

All in all I thought this was a lot of fun, and something a little different!
