We Are Synapse

The most intense job I’ve ever had to work on is the Animated Music Video for Papa Vs Pretty. 4x90hr weeks back to back is never good, but we’re thrilled with the end result and are really looking forward to more jobs of this nature.

The houses & structures were built in Illustrator and then Textured in Photoshop. From there we took it into After Effects for animation.  Some stop motion animation was also done for the Characters.

One of the first ‘real’ projects I ever did was the original artwork for Emarosa’s Relativity. We were on a tight deadline, and the band wanted something simple, so my talented girlfriend took some incredible macro shots of a chestnut and in one night it all came together.

We recently had the great pleasure of re-teaming with the band to work on their fantastic new self titled album . The cover is below / Artwork | Myspace

Howdy everybody!

Here is a cover we wrapped up recently for Look, I’m Burning.

Everything else for their new full length album “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” is getting finalized, so be sure to check out their new Myspace in the coming weeks.

Here’s a cover recently finished for Tides of Man’s new release, “Dreamhouse”.

They have some new songs up on their Myspace now, go listen.

I am a bit of a tamed pyromaniac, I love fire! So it is always fun for me to play with fire in art. I was pretty happy with how this turned out and had fun doing it! Check it out here.

Check them out online, great Aussie up and coming hardcore/ metal band.

I recently had the pleasure of working on one of my favourite artwork’s thus far.

Here’s the cover for the album, and you can view the rest of the artwork and check our their music at the links below:

Earlier this year we wrapped up a project for a Letterbox Tragedy. These guys are fantastic and easily one of the best bands I have had the pleasure of working with.

This is the cover we did for their “Breathe Beyond Skylines” EP. We also had the pleasure of designing 3 tees for them, which you can see HERE.

Check out their tunes on their Myspace.

Through the end of 2009 and start of 2010 we did several covers for the fabulous Victory Records. They’re showcased below – click the covers to be taken to the full artwork.

It certainly is a task to develop a website to showcase such incredible illustrations as those by Quakerninja aka Daniel Newman.
