This is actually a late upload of three pieces I created in the final quarter of 2014. Originally I planned to release them in a pack of three signed prints, but I had to put that project on hold. As a long time fan of Star Wars I have always admired the iconic look of the Imperial forces and the feelings they convey in their architecture. More than anything their appearance resonates with me because each type of villain in Star Wars wears a different mask that shows their rank or purpose, a feeling that I've always felt was true for humans in general. All of that aside, I really wanted to show my love for the iconic characters but add my own JNB style twist, so I created these three posters. Each of them has characteristics familiar to the famous Imperial architypes and their own style. I really hope people like them as much as I do. Art for art's sake. In Order of Appearance:

Here is a collection of flags I created, modifications of the US flag obviously, I wanted to try some different looks and ideas. One is very me, the last one, but the first I tried to go for a sort of hipster pattern look, the second, a new take on stars and stripes, and the third one is a numeric break down of the elements of the flag. http://jonnynewbrand.com/

A set of posters I created to help market the upcoming mixtape Pyramid Schemers by the SHHHGang collective. The concept is based around the popular illuminati pyramid, watching a person, while the SHHHGang mascot Mickey Dead Eyes is watching the pyramid. Meant to give a higher power to the group.

Fuel For Thought

I wonder sometimes how people interpret my art, mainly because I always have a master plan for my creations but others tend to have their own (often) interesting ideas about what my work means, and of course there are always those who think my work is just a "nice drawing." I personally think all of my work falls under "nice drawing" but I also embed deep meanings into everything I create. Take this piece for example. Sure, it is a great looking graffiti style design that would make any skateboard deck proud in sticker form, but let me break it down for you. Center field is Bomten, my flagship character who in every way is "me" portrayed as a bomb with no fuse and the face of a tengu, or Japanese wind spirit. A spirit known for wisdom and speed but also for their mischievous ways. Bomten has been my incantation since 2009 when I first began NewBrand, he is a little wiser and a little older but still ever the symbol of restraint and potential. In this piece he is joined with the pen and paint, two mediums that I grew up with and led to my artistry becoming what it is today, shown "drilled" into his head, quite literally, indicating that I am well vested in the application of these mediums. Also coming from the two items are feeding straws that lead to Bomten's mouth, quite literally fueling him, indicated by the flame sparking in his crown. Literally he is about to burst with ideas. A bomb about to explode. There is much more in this piece, but I don't want to give it all away. Look closely. You may find something.

Menace To Society by Jonathan Haines

This piece is a personal piece is a personal design for my own creative venting. Based mainly around the crab, which is representative of me, my astrology sign is Cancer. It has heavy Japanese influence like many of my personal pieces, the Hanya mask is the main focus, with a stripe on it's left horn representing myself and the 3 stripes around it's body represent my 3 brothers, their placement represents them in a way maybe only I can understand. Basically this is a self portrait, in my own style.

A variation of the Skull design I did up for Rage recently, this time brandishing a cap with one of my favorite brands none other than Hellfire Canyon Club. I love how this piece turned out. That skull is gonna see a lot of mileage. I can see it already.
