Christophe Lopez-Huici's music posters

Christophe Lopez-Huici works with a lot of bands to design and illustrate their CD covers, as well as their posters for performances.  While a lot of people are familiar with Christophe's illustration and claymation, we thought we would share some of his music poster work for a change.  Christophe's groovy style makes for some super cool posters, and he does all of the hand lettering as well:

Christophe Lopez-Huici claymation for Amazon Publishing

Christophe Lopez-Huici recently completed this fun claymation piece for Amazon Publishing.  The animation is for the promotion of a new book titled "Elimination Night", which is a roman à clef about the behind the scenes of American Idol.  Since the writer of the book chose to remain anonymous, Amazon decided to use the animation as a mock interview of the writer and a preview of the book.

The client gave Christophe a script and dialogues to work with, and from there he did a storyboard, characters, animation, and editing.  From start to finish, the project took him about two months to complete.

Here is the final animation, as well as photos of some of the characters, sets, and screenshots:

Christophe Lopez-Huici's cover art for the 60 Second Swingers

Christophe Lopez-Huici recently illustrated this cover for a new 7" single by the 60 Second Swingers.  They are a French garage punk band from La Rochelle, and this is their second release.  On the B-side is a cover they did of the song "60 Second Swingers" by Little Phil and the Night Shadows.  The band's name was inspired by that song, and so they asked Christophe to come up with an illustration similar to the image on the original Little Phil and the Night Shadows LP.  It looks to us like Christophe nailed it!
