Client: IBM

Agency: Somnio

A series of spot illustrations were created for IBM SPSS Modeler. Four images were designed to stand alone as well as collectively to form one long scene.

Inky Illustration

Scope: Postcard

Skills: Illustration

This illustration was self-initiated and designed in Photoshop. All textures were made by hand using charcoal, ink, dry brush, pointed pen, folded pen, etc. The Inky “tools of the trade” illustration depicts a day in the life of young Gerald Durrell.

Gerry was a wild child growing up on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. I grew fascinated with his story after reading the book “My Family and Other Animals” and watching the series “The Durrells in Corfu.”

He was a naturalist from an early age with a homemade zoo housing countless exotic pets. Most days you could find Gerry conducting field research with his mentor, Theodore Stephanides, or collecting scorpions and other creatures for closer observation.
