Amelia's Anthology of Illustration
AMELIA'S ANTHOLOGY IS OUT!!! I was asked by Amelia from Amelia's Magazine to create an exclusive illustration depicting a certain renewable energy resource. I was given the technology of Power Plastic. It functions in the same way solar panels do but instead of being big and bulky, they are thin sheets of plastic making them more versatile. In this case entire buildings can be wrapped in this. My idea was to imagine the city as a circuit board where things such as light posts could be plugged into the buildings, monuments or anything with surface area. Crazy? Maybe...but thats what it was all about. It's all about getting the illustrator and their fantasy to shed light and creativity on an otherwise seemingly clinical topic. If we're going to save the world let's make it look beautiful in the process!! 39 other illustrators from around the world were featured in the anthology, all of whom are extremely talented. It was an honor to be selected as one of them.
Pictoplasma BERLIN!
PICTOPLASMA says:
"The Pictoplasma Berlin Festival brings together an international scene of artists, directors, designers and agencies, offering a unique forum for all those working with - or simply loving - the visualisation and application of contemporary character design. Whether illustration, animation, graphic design, urban vinyl, street or fine art - the emphasis is not on the limits of style or format, but on the shared dedication to explore character-driven aesthetics. The lively exchange between the various disciplines highlights the importance of characters in contemporary visual culture."
AMAZING!!!

Alexander Girard x House Industries
I love Alexander Girard...on a completely professional level that is. His graphic style and his patterns and how he translated these into beautiful objects is something I always look to for inspiration. I recently bought the limited edition book by HOUSE INDUSTRIES that celebrates his genius and I absolutely love it. Check out the website that HOUSE INDUSTRIES has dedicated to Mr. Girard HERE.
