#spot illustration
Coincidences: In the last couple of months I’ve been commissioned twice by the same magazine, The Washington Post, to make an opening Illustration and a spot one for two different issues/sections of the newspaper. AD were different and I’ve my reason to believe (too long and boring to explain it here) each one of the two art director doesn’t know I’ve worked with the other.
Funny thing is theme were pretty much the same, even if treated from a different point of view each time. First Date was basically the main theme here.
An extra has been a series of three mini line-drawing illustrations depicting the suggested path form the perfect 1st to the 3rd date.
Bonus track to this post: one of the sketches that didn’t make the cut. I’d would have liked to see it finalized despite the chosen cover thrilled me as well. I’m sure I’ll bring this to the final stage for my own pleasure as soon as I’ve a bit of free time and no deadlines.

A little flat color project to expand my digital portfolio. I was born near the amazing Carlsbad Caverns and would visit them often as a child. During hot desert summers, my family would go down there to cool off. Whoever had the original job of lighting these caverns was a true artist, as the dramatically placed (and often hidden) bulbs throw incredibly haunting shadows.

I did a presentation at work about how to digitally color / separate traditional sketch lines from a white background / make gifs. This was one of my samples I did a video speedpaint of to show my process to everyone!
