DIGITAL ARTISTRY BY MARTIN KORNICK Over 25 years Graphic Arts & Graphic Arts Management experience. Specializing in creating complex digital illustrations, that blur the lines of reality and fantasy. With a few mechanical exceptions, I use no computer generated imagery. Only manipulation of real life within photographs, on a grand scale. My specialty is creating electronic eye candy for Progressive Music CDs & DVDs. Some of my clients include: Neal Morse, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, The Tangent, and Keith Emerson. I am available for hire, so feel free to contact me.
Below is a peg board of what I've been recently working on:
Based on a few Pink Floyd Theme's, I reproduced the Animal's cover for Rock'n Joe's Coffee House, with with a Coffee Theme. Soon to be available on T-shirts at Rock'n Joe's website. Stay tuned!
Another T-shirt design for Rock'n Joe's Coffee House... this is of course is a replica of NIRVANA'S Never Mind CD cover. Also will be available soon.
Cover for Neal Morse's new Live DVD set... I also did the booklet for this... look for it soon!
A magazine ad I designed for Neal's new DVD.
A personal piece, depicting Emerson's L100 washed upon a flooded futuristic New York City. (This is not a piece for Keith's new album)
A bit of madness from my brain for you all to enjoy....
Featured in the new THE TANGENT "Going Off On One" CD & DVD packages in the inside spread. An error was made in the printing, and the full 22 inch crystal clear image was not reproduced, only a 4 inch low quality web preview was used, and enlarged to fill a 10 inch space... creating a blurry, and much less dramatic effect. Such is life... Andy Tillison sends his regrets. Hopefully you will see a lot more to this creation than just a dull finnish.
A close up, so you can hopefully see some of the detail of the image.
Pieces from the Neal Morse new double live album, for his Inner Circle and perhaps to the public soon. These above put together in a weekend... everything a rush with Neal! But, I love the pressure.
Example of commerical work in my portfolio. This Logo & Web Banner was created for AviationLogs.com retail website for commercial & private pilots.
Never say, I never do anything different! My Cover Art and Logo for Masters of Death Metal, DECAPITATOR 666. They're a bit tongue-in-cheek, hence a bit of humor in the art... but they're full-on metal, trust me! ;)
Logo for the YES tribute band, PARALLELS, featuring Randy George!
New artwork for Neal Morse's SING IT HIGH, a collection of his shorter & nice songs.
This is my winning banner in the To-Mera Banner Contest!
Music
PINNACLE: MELD CD Cover art. This is the band with Greg Jones "The Coffee Guy" on drums. I did the cover art over a few days, at a rather "rush" request. But often, pressure can bring out the best, as I feel that is the case here. The album is KILLER too! pinnacleband.com
TRANSATLANTIC DVD: Building The Bridge & Live In America. Co-producer/Manager and Cover Artist. Yup, I did this cover art, along with the menus. The DVD is on sale now at Radiant Records and In Stores in the USA.
Cover design I did for The Tsunami Projekt, a Tsunami Relief CD, featuring: Nick D'Virgilio, Neal Morse, Rick Wakeman, Ajalon, IQ, Mark McCrite & Don Schiff, and more. http://www.thetsunamiproject.com

These are some of the pieces I recently did for the SPLIT PERSONALITY "FRACTURED" CD. SplitPersonality.com
