Timeouts are lightning-quick interviews, questions to help you get to know the players holding court at Dribbble. Thanks to Von for being today’s interviewee.
Who are you? Let us know where you hail from and what you do.
I refer to myself as an illustrative designer. My studio is in Salem, Oregon just south of Portlandia proper.
What are you working on?
Just finished branding a film house in the UK. Working on some linear line illustrations today.
Choose a favorite shot of yours. Why is it a favorite?
Growing up I used to play D&D all the time so I was thrilled to design this new mark for Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro.
Not so thrilled Hasbro in-house applied Chrome filters to it on some iterations. But I digress.
Tell us about your setup. What tools did you use to create the shot (e.g. hardware, software, pens, paper, blowtorch)?
I think my actual studio space would underwhelm most people. It’s very practical oriented to make managing many projects easy, keep my work station distinctly separate from where I draw out my designs, etc. But in my office you’ll find the following:
- Pimped iMac i7 running a SSD HD
- Drobo 5D
- Sonos Play:5 (I like crooners and blues)
- LightPad
- Lots of pencils and pens
- Wall of toy robots
- Tiki collection
- Old Jim Flora album covers
- Lots of Star Trek collectibles (I’m a geek)
- 2 iPads and 1 iPhone
- My cat Snickers
Choose a favorite shot from another Player. Why do you dig it?
I’ve been enjoying the work of Luke Flowers lately. I love his latest Godzilla post (Godzilla Vs. Bada Kon Donk).
