concepts


HAPPPYY FRIIIDDDAAAYY! Today I thought I'd share these little critters with you. I had an email from a greeting card company in the USA yesterday wanting a set of four card concepts - super pronto! So I whipped these up pretty quick. They're still pretty rough and lacking detail but I think they came out OK... I hope they get published :) Talk about working under pressure hehe!
I hope you all have fab weekends and get some time to relax and have a bit of fun.

  22. Hey Bee! How are you? Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog, its always a pleasure! And I love your crazy in your face colours! Congrats on the card commission, I hope they get published too. Fingers crossed for you, I dont see why they wouldnt! They are awesome. My favourite would be.... probably the rabbit. I like rabbits. They have cool ears. I hope you are well and that life is treating you good! Oh and in case you are interested... the film I worked on is showing at MIFF in July, it might be worth a look!(http://www.melbournefilmfestival.com.au/firstbite/animation - The Illusionist)
