In a recent collaboration, Jack Hudson allowed his colourful characters a little excursion into the real world. The project, which was produced together with 3D design duo, Lord Whitney, featured his typically bright illustrations applied to props and costumes to create stylised, staged photographs. It’s a fun idea that literally brings an extra element of life to his work.

We like the movement studies shown in Alex Grigg’s animation work and were further drawn in by all the behind the scenes material that he posts on his blog. It’s interesting to see what kind of preparation goes into getting such fluid motions and depictions of weight.
