This is a sample from a project I completed a few weeks ago. I’m just now getting to archive the files and moving them off my computer. This is one of 7, I think, from what was basically corporate work, but for a good cause. I worked with a great agency based here in Portland, Oregon called Circle Triangle Square. Their art direction was clear, they had a very developed vision for what they wanted. This made the job of producing the illustrations much more fun, more efficient, and I spend more time on details and less trying to find a POV. I created them digitally, from very rough pencil sketches. This made altering colors or slight changes in expression much quicker. I really like the fact that digital work is easy to alter. I work rather spontaneously, and it is a good fit. Funny I am at that point as I did mostly etching in undergrad art school. Etching demands more advanced planning and less opportunity to alter things mid-point. It definitely makes you select a vision and stick with it.
Next up, some more animation work for a very interesting documentary. I get to produce a minute or so of animation that looks and feels like 1930’s style Fleischer Bros. work. I’m looking forward to it!
