5 portfolios you should see

Here’s a list of 5 portfolios I’ve stumbled upon that I really think you should see:

Ars Thanea – Agency
An agency out of Poland that does some sick design work thanks to Peter Jaworowski.

Trevor Grove – Sculptor
I’m pretty sure this guy isn’t human. The likenesses he’s able to forge out of clay are unbelievable. It doesn’t hurt, either, that his subject matter (Indy, Star Wars, etc) is a geek’s dream.

Blake Loosli – Illustrator
I love this guy’s portraits, and I’ve been noticing them popping up more and more lately, in places like Communication Arts and Rolling Stone.

Mike P Mitchell – Illustrator
Another great illustrator with a very strong, unique style.

Aaron Knapp – Motion Designer
This guy is the real deal. His clients include MTV, Directv, Smirnoff, and tons of others. He also has lots of links to other talented designers.

OKC Redhawks Animation

This year, the Oklahoma City Redhawks (the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers) decided to undergo a brand update. While the rebrand was done by someone else, I was asked to create animations to help pump up their new look. These are just a couple of the scoreboard graphics I created for them.

And here was one of the many game openers I created to supplement their “Taste of the Big Leagues” campaign, in which they transformed the park each game to contain elements of Big League parks from across the country. They even matched the hot dogs and concessions you’ll find at those parks – like Dodger Dogs, Chicago Style pizza, etc!

It was a lot of fun to see my stuff as part of the game experience.
