Well finally getting around to posting some work! I've been busy working on multiple projects lately and I'll be posting a bunch of new work shortly.In the meantime ,....
These are some some turnarounds and a splash page for a small game I've been developing. I have no clue why images get posted and then colors totally wash out of what the original looks like. Let's just assume that the colors are much more vibrant and we can all be happy.
Well after a couple week delay I'm finally getting around to posting some new finished work. It's amazing how quickly time can cruise on by when you are knee deep with no sleep. So now that the bags under my eyes and subsided a bit,...here comes a post . This one is a continuation of a sketch for a music book cover I had posted recently. Nothing like a warm tropical illustration to make me feel better on a ice cold November Day.
I was digging through some old files and came across these sketches i did awhile back for a Hospital Kangaroo character. I kinda liked them so I thought I'd share these golden oldies! Enjoy!
Yes yet another Yeti character design. I wanted to break it down into elements that could be easily made into simple animation. That was and has been my problem all along as I’ve revised and revised it 6 times. I wanted it more simple,..yet to keep a strong form and remain attractive and marketable. I think this one is a lil more tough/gritty looking and I feel gears more to boys than the previous post. But the animation is more annoying that enjoyable right now.They just twitch & blink. But it's a work in progress.
In 1986 Mitch Mortimer submitted a collection of cartoons instead of his assigned work for his Science Fair project. After a shocking 2nd place win amongst stiff competition of assorted paper volcanoes and potato clocks he knew he was onto something big. Tossing his goal of becoming a NASA physicist aside he jumped out into the world illustration. He has done an assortment of whimsical, fun, quirky illustrations for a variety of national clients and publishers and agencies. All Artwork Copyright Mitch Mortimer 2008
