Anrick at Unit 9 in London commissioned me last month to help design characters for Toshiba's new 'Leading Innovation' website.
It was a dream gig -I was asked to spend a couple of days sketching characters with good old pencil & paper while Anrick's crack squad of boffins & digital artists handled the rest! An enjoyable collaboration & the results look great-look at those gorgeous backgrounds.
Check out the website & draw squiggles on the characters to discover what they do-
The site is already generating media buzz here and here.
your heart is full of good things and great drawings ,keep up on that way !!!

see you,tokyobanana
Oooooooh! Beautiful. I'm just having fun with your little friend and they play like Tom Waits' band, not sure if I have to keep on drawing squiggles or pull out my alto sax.
ReplyDeleteCool designs ,awesome looking site would love to see the sketches that came from the whole process.
ReplyDeleteThat is a thing of beauty. Red frog, wobbly face bunny and the bear are this mornings favourites.
ReplyDeletesuper cool stuff!
ReplyDeletegreat job Mr. jones
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, truly inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up matt, these are bloody great. And i must say it's nice to see the fresh white blog overhall, it looks very crisp... big up
ReplyDeleteThese are great, I hope the job goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteawesome shapes!!! i really like your works!
ReplyDeleteLovely drawings and backgrounds.....but what a frickin' annoying website
ReplyDeleteNice characters Matt. Looks like they've translated well into the site. Great stuff
ReplyDeleteHah! Jeroen you're funny-I kinda dug the website but that's probably the novelty of being involved. Didn't you find the music soothing?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments.
There's a mistake in your link to the website.
ReplyDeleteMoney for old rope - well done.
Thnx for the heads up Elliot, I fixed it. Saw your honeymoon pics on Facebook-looks like you had a swell time in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteThese are really great Matt!
ReplyDeleteI promoted your Ronald Searle Tribute blog on Dinosaurs & Robots. I think the readers there will really dig it.

Thanks Kevin. BTW is the BEWITCHED cover image you scanned the original artwork? How did you find it without the typesetting & logo?
ReplyDeletethis is extremely beautiful ma poule xx
ReplyDeleteYeah! the final result is fantastic!! the illustrations are gorgeous, and the characters so funny! I love them, love the colours and the style! :)
ReplyDeleteMerci Stef y gracias Stranded!
ReplyDeleteThe second from the bottom is almost identical to a Scott Wills Samurai Jack painting from this post, but these are well done overall.
ReplyDeletePumml-yes, looks like the bg painter has referenced Wills' mountains & colour palette for the far distance landscape-well spotted!
ReplyDeleteGreat work matt. did you work on some animation too? or just the designs?
ReplyDeleteIt's a great concept for computer navigation interface. they should get rid of folders and instead we should have to fight or bribe this crazy animals to get our files back. much more fun.
take care.
Hah! Thnx Joan-you're right that would be a fun interface. I just did rough pencil designs for this project. The characters were finalised & coloured by the team at Unit 9.
ReplyDeleteI love this tone! Thanks for share, beautiful color and composition!
ReplyDelete:D
