- Archetype is a fabricated Progressive metal band based on the music of Australian Hard rock/metal band Karnivool’s. Highly technical in musical nature, their influences are guitar virtuosos such as Dream Theatre and Symphony X. Archetype consists of five members: Ian Kenny on vocals, Drew Goddard and Mark Hosking on guitar, Jon Stockman on bass guitar, and Steve Judd on drums.The Archetype brand evolved for the visual and psychological aspects of the Rorschach test(Inkblot Ink). Creating imagery abstract enough for forms to become unreconizable, but reconizable enough for viewers to find there own characters and forms in album and posters.

I began an experiment to collect imagery to use in my poster and album work. I took a photo every 15 minutes of things that invoked a lonely, melancholy mood. These are some select photos from the experiment.- I used this photo to created the background and environment of the artwork.
