From the Archive Unit
I've been going through my archives to update my website with freelance work and I came across these old robot drawings I made for a Lipton Tea commercial that I don't think ever got made. (Unless you remember seeing a Lipton Tea commercial with a cute robot in it, if so tell me where I can find it!)
I got this job because of an illustration I posted on Instagram. An art director saw it and said that's the robot we want for this job. I wasn't going to do anything with it anyway, so I obliged and we worked on refining it for their needs. Here's that original drawing:
I don't know if that's the best way to get consistent work these days, but back when there wasn't a ton of artists on Instagram, and there were a lot of art directors looking for artists it sure was a good way to get your work seen by the right people.
This is old work for me, but I thought it still has a certain kind of appeal and character to it that I hope is still found in my work today.
