Whether for books, products, videos or cartoons, we create bright and fanciful designs that kids and adults alike will enjoy. If they love it, they'll keep buying it. And if they keep buying it, you make money. And that's no bullsh ... uh, we mean baloney.
Retail Products. Kidspirational, Inc. contacted us to provide them with original character designs and product designs for their line of inspirational and educational rhyming material for kids. We have illustrated and designed their new logo, dozens of posters, school folders, the first in a line of books, a 2004 calendar and a coloring book. You may see more about Kidspirational, Inc. on their website at www.Kidspirational.com.
PRESENTATION ART
Above are portions of images we did for clients. The top one was part of a series of images showing a marketing package. The bottom one was an illustratino showing the pop-up layers on an expensive marketing piece. We can't show you the whole thing, but they look really cool. We can make your presentations look cool too.
This was one of many images we did as part of an ad campaign and commercial storyboard for Black and Decker tools. Art by Alex Saviuk, coloring by Mark Simon.
Themed party illustration for Marriott. Mark Simon's background in art direction has helped him in illustrating sets and locations.
After we storyboarded two spots for TiVo, they asked us to illustrate a set for their infomercial. A number of photographic elements and textures are used in our images.
Bavarian Bakery set for ARF productions out of New York. ARF is a client for whom we do storyboards and set illustrations. We needed to research elements to make a bavarian cookie bakery and render it quickly to their specs and color scheme. Textures and colors were done in Photoshop to allow adjustments if necessary. (It was)
Tropical Set. We do a number of set illustration for theme party design company Hello, Florida! Inc. The needed to show the centerpiece for client approval and had a number of elements on hold for props. We composited the actual backdrop that was to be rented for the installation into the image to give them the most accurate portrayal possible.
Darden Corporate Retreat. Mark Simon and Alex Saviuk illustrated key moments of the live event for client approval. We worked with art director David Kahler and Online Productions to deliver numerous dimensionally correct color set renderings for client approval.
PHOTO COMPS
These images were produced for Mark Simon's humorous articles which run in Animation Magazine and on www.AWN.com. We do a lot of work on these whimsical images on a low budget. In the top McJob image, there are over 30 elements compisited together. In the bottom image, we didn't have a heavy white robe for the shoulder angel, but we did have a dark blue one. Also, make sure to check out the shovel handle. The bottom image is made up of over 17 different components and image changes.
As part of a promotion for the Golf Channel, we produced a number of photo comps demonstrating a series of print ads. While this may look simple, it is actually a number of different photos combined together to make one. For instance, that is not Fuzzy Zoellers hand holding the sign, it's artist Mark Simon's. The lighting, texture, brightness and composition all have to fit together to make a believable image. This image consists of at least 7 separate elements.
As part of a proposal by David Nixon Productions for a Disney Website design, we produced a number of storyboards as photocomps.
Animatics & Storyboards, Inc is proud to represent famed fine artist Gary Lessord for mural paintings. Gary is known for his paintings of animals and of Christian themes. Whether whimsical or exotic, Gary's art on your home or business walls is sure to make a grand statement.
The bottom image is a completely faux window.
COMIC BOOKS
Spider-Man, X-Files and The Phantom. Alex Saviuk, the amazing Spider-Man comic book artist worked on many titles for Marvel and DC. He provides comic book art and storyboards for our clients. You can see more of his storyboards and comic book work in the Storyboards section.
Mark Simon recently completed the first in a series of inspirational comics called Zing Zest, page shown above, which helps people deal with their cancer treatment. The comic was created by Paul "Dr. J" Jacobson as he goes through his own treatments.
Timmy is a character we created and and his series of shorts, mobile wallpapers and screensavers can be found on mobile phones around the world. He's a total moron who never learns from his mistakes in nature. We're supposed to learn from his mistakes, but mostly we just laugh at him.
We did a series of pieces for a children's programmer, Ravenmoon Entertainment, where we put cartoon characters on live action backgrounds. We took the photos, manipulated them by removing people and signs, heightened the colors and added the characters, which we designed.
We have illustrated the Christmas cards for Experience International/ Convergence for a few years. This year they moved into a new building and wanted to show it bursting out of wrapping paper inside their holiday card.
This is from another project we did for Ravenmoon Entertainment called A Message From God. We designed the look to be like construction paper cut-outs that kids, very talented kids, would have put together. You can see the paper texture and the shadows, all done in the computer, in the image.
