    uniE621 Billboard Illustration for The Great Yarmouth advertising campaign.
    In the Summer of 2021 I had the pleasure of creating a full sized outdoor billboard illustration. The billboard was part of a campaign by the travel site JustHooit.com to promote tourism in the seaside area of Great Yarmouth. The goal was to attract a younger generation of tourists in the UK to enjoy local destinations. As part of the campaign, JustHooIt filmed promotional spots featuring RuPaul's Drag Race finalist Ellie Diamond as the ambassador. One of the commercials is on the JustHooIt website and another was featured on the UK Sun, where my illustration makes a brief cameo. I was excited to be approached by Play PR to create this in a vintage/mid-century travel illustration style. It was a lot of work, but fulfilling to be given such a high level of creative freedom for such a project! Included are close-ups of my illustration and a photo taken in London with the actual billboard. illustrator billboard

    uniE621 Short Film Storyboards for The WeekND
    I Created the visual concepts for a Short Film project to promote the After Hours Till Dawn Tour. The director, Evan Larsen, working in conjunction with Florence.co , the Production Agency, requested storyboards to visualize the mood, scenery and world of this short film. Larsen had created a short film plot that is set in an imaginary world akin to the fantastical worlds seen in Heavy Metal Magazine. The film opens with WeekND fleeing from some powerful entities in an eerie forest, when he is struck by a powerful ray of light from a massive statue which is often seen on stage at the Tour Concerts. The light transforms his body into a concept car and he drives off out of the vast forest into a futuristic Bladerunner inspired city. There he encounter a beautiful woman, and they are instantly attracted to each other. He takes her on a ride in the city until they are stopped by an angry mob of thugs who proceed to smash the car with weapons, and drag the woman out of the car. He instantly turns back into his human form, but is not battered and injured, and the woman rush to his side in tears. The thugs are seen walking away into the distance and the scene closes with us seeing the WeekND laying on the road with the woman sobbing at his side. illustrator storyboard illustration musicvideo
