Art School Confidential
posted:
Late last month, I got a call from my Alma Mater, Parsons School of Design. Er, I should say Parsons The New School of Design.
Anyway, they wanted to know if I was interested in illustrating an admissions poster for them. I told them it would be a great honor, of course I'd do it.
When I met with them in NYC, I realized it may be a bit hard to represent the current state of illustration being, well, an illustrator! It seems kids going into Art School are perhaps more interested in being an animator, or a video game designer, or, well, something besides a person who makes actual drawings.
Anyway, I decided I'd just make some weird drawings, something about being creative. Here are the sketches I submitted, roughly colored in.
