Poetry Flier

Another illustration by Ben Newman (http://www.bennewman.co.uk/), this one was for a flier advertising a poetry evening called '451' - the temperature in Fahrenheit at which paper catches fire, hence the flaming brain. He's put up his initial sketches and mock-ups on his blog as well: http://benhasapencil.blogspot.com/2009/09/451-flier-from-start-to-finish.html

I like the simple colours and the weathered effect, I think I'll have to try that some time. The background colour goes really well too.
