Watching For Thomas
Send to KindleA sequence of images for one of the scenes in the graphic novel “GFW ’27″.
Sketch in Prismacolor pencil first, then scanned. I play with the contrast in Photoshop, and reduce the saturation. The color is added in layers (background and character). Finally, the color and transparency of the layers are adjusted to the final blueish color.
Green Machine- Current Motor’s Maxi Scooter custom ‘skin’
Send to KindleI’m pretty selective on getting involved in design contests, because the odds are generally not that great of winning and you work up front for free. On the flip side, when you try to win over a new account or client you put in time and effort creating concepts to show them how happy they could be with you doing their creative work – so, it depends on the situation.
Current Motor based in Michigan (so am I eh!), is one of those situations. I like what they’re doing, and their location within the state. They have created a high performance scooter capable of 65+ miles an hour (distance of 50 miles before re-charge). Lot’s of features, check it out for yourself > Current Motor.
The design contest has a Earth Day theme, so I created some custom made leaf brushes from photos I had taken in the fall, and layered them on in Photoshop over the 3 templates they provided for the design competition. Below are some quick images of the project- you can view my entry at this link (Talenthouse).
‘Drawn Magazine’- Putting Illustration into Context
Send to KindlePeople can appreciate art, but still be unsure of how they can benefit from it. To help the consumer envision the application of images one of the jobs as an Illustrator is to put the work (‘talent’) into context as examples. One of the parts of my portfolio I’m building is ‘context’ based art. Here are some examples that I’ve been experimenting with.
CSS – SWAK; Secret 7″ Design
Send to KindleHere’s a design I submitted for ‘Secret 7″‘ design competition to benefit The Teenage Cancer Trust.
I based my design on the single “City Grrrl” by CSS. I kept it very minimal with some key elements that relate to the song and the event. Great cause.
“The project will culminate in around 700 uniquely pressed vinyls displayed in an art exhibition at Idea Generation Gallery in London, Shoreditch in the week leading up to Record Store Day April 2012. All Secret 7” singles will be available to purchase, but none of the buyers will know who has created the sleeve, or even which song it’s for, until they are holding it in their hands – the secret lies within.”
Mr. ERA – character dev sketch for “The RED”
Send to KindleTrying out a character concept design for Mr. Era. Elements of his design are based on the following influential art movements from the period the story line takes place in: Suprematism, Precisionism, and Neo Plasticism. Mr. Era’s name is an acronym for: Experimental Robotic Assistant.
In this round of designs, Mr. Era’s head was influenced by some great industrial designers (Walter Dorwin Teague) and elements from the list below:
