I took a great class with the master @draplin on @ I took a great class with the master @draplin on @skillshare and have been thinking a lot about creating some new #merch and making a series of enamel pins, stickers and embroidered patches (or wrapping paper?) I have always loved this little icon that I made and want to see it evolve off the screen and into the world. I also want to simulate the process and be transparent about it. More to come! #icons #pin #patch #merchendise #graphicdesign #fun #chatacterdesign #bboy
Work in progress- testing testing - #wip - Lets ma Work in progress- testing testing - #wip - Lets make this lil dude start to move. This is just a quick series of fun iterations and effects applied between photoshop and mobile apps like “Imaengine” - animated sticker #GIFS can be made in photoshop to maintain the needed transparent background. PS - Im in the process of making all of my teaching materials available on my websites (there are a few), all free stuff, happy to share! Big Open Education advocate here! #animation #anime #robot #character #fun #motiongraphics #digitalart #stickers

Up and at it here! Here is a new variation of this Up and at it here! Here is a new variation of this new animated series - for practice, I take a simple premise like “2 friends walking through a city” and play with that. Keep it simple and seemingly banal, light goes a long way setting a mood, as well as the duration and movement of the loop itself. I make the background graphics first and then the characters (the assets were all made in #adobe #illustrator this time - so it started it all as a vector illustration) - usually I just start in black and white lines or shapes. Im a big fan of variety and love to see what the aesthetic potentials are for style- which can mean the degeneration of the art. (Swipe left to see ) All of the assets were animated into one composition using adobe #aftereffects#animation #gif #motiongraphics #nyc #bboy #bgirl #walking #vaporwave
A slow reflective walk through the late hours of t A slow reflective walk through the late hours of the city... Here is another subtle #animation using assets created in #photoshop and then animated in #aftereffects - hope my animation students enjoy learning this process and exercise today :))#gif #loop #bboy #vaporwave #nyc #digitalart #design #fun #kangol

Its a combination of a tutorial for classes this week and another secret project 🤫 in the works. Swipe left for a few process fragments and variations. The digital characters and background were all drawn on a #wacom tablet in @photoshop then animated in @aftereffects_cc #gif #mograph #motiongraphics #nyc #bboy #bgirl #kangol @kangol_headwear
