I was very excited to get a call from Allie over at the Washington Post last week to do some illustrations for their Sunday Style section. Allie asked if I could do some reportage drawings or neighborhood scenes to go along with a review for HBO’s upcoming show “Girls”. The show takes places in New York City – where the main characters live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and look for jobs in Lower Manhattan. If you are familiar at all with Greenpoint or Greenwich Village area, you may recognize some of these spots. I had a lot of fun on these, and am very happy with the outcome. Special thanks to Allie and the Washington Post editors! Enjoy!
I love that I can check out the paper each Sunday and chances are an IlloCon alum is in there.
Brett your work mingles perfectly with photos!! This is so awesome. Was this what you were working on last Tuesday?
The way you mix photo and line art looks really current and exciting!
Thanks guys! The idea of integrating the photos was all the Art Director’s idea, so the credit has to go to her. And Chris – yes this was the series I was working on last Tuesday!
So cool! Location drawings and photo integration, what a fun job. This works so nicely with your line work. Did they ask you to do the hand drawn type too?
Yeah I did the hand type for two of the headlines. I wish I had a bit more time to really think the headlines thru more, but we didn’t get confirmation until the night before this was to be shipped
Good stuff. Cool too that these are real locations. Matchless is a good bar.
Great stuff Brett! And on such a quick deadline… pretty darn impressive.
awesome work!
thanks guys!
