X-mas In July?!

Development art is particularly fun when it's animation. In this case, it was a pitch for a TV series back in the mid 90"s created by John Fox. Paranoia affects the neighborhood insomniac who sees his nemesis as Santa Claus everywhere. It was never picked up because of its "psychological subject matter" but a similar show popped up a month later at a big (to remain nameless) studio where it was pitched. Very much inspired by "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James & The Giant Peach" and probably ending up looking alot like "Coraline". It also marked the end of traditional illustration for me as I continue my exploration into digital media.

Vid-Game Box Art 2.

Stuntman 3 art was one of many in a series from the advertising company Ayzenberg a few years ago.

The End of an Era.

In 2005, GM created the Pontiac Solstice Convertible and I was experimenting with colour. I came up with a 3 frame storyboard idea that was drawn traditionally, scanned, and coloured in Photoshop. I used flat colours to get the posterized look of the ads from the 1960's era. It was labeled "work in progress" and remains unfinished today but I thought it would be an homage to the Pontiac line and the auto giant.
