“It’s fruitcake weather!”
Apparently. I’ve never read this charming little story, but I got a chance to illustrate a poster for a performance of it coming up in the next week. The project afforded me an opportunity to jump out of the holiday look I’ve been stuck in for the last couple months and experiment with some great illustration tips from an interview I read recently of Invisible Creature‘s, Don Clark. Reading about Don’s process jolted me back into design reality (whatever that may be) and reminded me that – I’m an ARTIST! WAGH! I have a wealth of fine art techniques at my fingertips and I’m not taking advantage of them! So with this project I added some newer textures and processes to the mix and I’m excited to do more exploring and finding my own niche, rather than feeling a tad like a copycat. I’m happy with it – I think it’s…delightful.
Hey, that’s, like the only Capote story I’ve read. Cool.
Good job!
