Star Tribune Turkey
I recently meet the illustrator of the Star Tribune Turkey for the coloring contest. I can't say that I love his work, but it was neat to meet the man who drew the turkey I used to color every Thanksgiving Day. I also learned an interesting fact, apparently the illustrator draws a new turkey every year, I always thought it was the same turkey.
Recent Work
I thought I would post some of my recent work, because I been taking it in a new direction an I really feel that this blog has helped to inspire this new direction.
Graham Routhwaite
This has to be by far my favorite Illustrator. It's amazing how he captures the energy of popular street style. He also has a wonderful way of using silhouette and transparency. The only critique I have of his work is that he uses some cliche Photoshop filters like the lens flares.
PJ Loughran
PJ Loughran started out his career while attending Parsons School of Design in New York. His first job was creating illustrations for the Op-Ed pages of the New York Times. Since that first job he has illustrated for over 300 publications, including Time, Newsweek, GQ, Nike, and Sports Illustrated.
I love his use of color and texture. It's amazing how he works digitally but in a lot of ways it hard to tell. But over all his playfulness is my favorite part of his illustrations.
