GWAR Talkshow Set Design

Client: Scott Barber - Director of This Is GWAR

After the success of the documentary This Is GWAR (see my work on that film here), I was asked to help put together a pitch for a talk show staring the band members that would air on the cable channel AMC. The concept was that the band members would fill the traditional late night roles: host, straight man, house band. The show would function as a promotional vehicle for the network where they could have stars of current or upcoming shows appear to plug their work in short segments.

I was asked to create a concept painting for the design of the set, matching with GWAR’s particular eclectic aesthetic style. For fans of the band, many of the elements in the room are references to the band’s other work.
