Here's some fun new work that I got to do for the great Entertainment Weekly! <br />I was so beyond excited to receive an email from the wonderful Jennie Chang, managing art director at EW last week. Based on <a href="http://cameronklewis.com/hairy-baltimore.html" target="_blank">my drawings</a> for <a href="http://alexfineillos.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Alex Fine</a>'s awesome <i>Hairy Baltimore</i>, she wanted me to tackle 16 drawings of wigs from TV shows like Game of Thrones, True Detective, Scandal, The Americans, The Walking Dead, and many more. I didn't even know some of these were wigs!<br />Despite eventually being a bit hard on my wrist, I had a great time over the weekend knocking out these drawings and plowing through my audiobooks.<br />

Here's a new promotional piece I did to send out as a promo. It's actually my first promo since 2012 as I mostly focused on storyboarding in 2013.<br />
The piece is based on Showtime's <i>Masters of Sex</i>, which became one of my favorite shows in the past year. Although getting Michael Sheen's likeness was tough, I'm pleased with how it came out (including the gleaming...device "Ulysses")<br />

I once again went to GotPrint to have the cards printed and am again immensely pleased with the quality. I put my <a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2013/07/better-than-goofy-golf.html" target="_blank">"Better Than Goofy Golf" <i>Close Encounters</i> piece</a> on the back with a little bit of room for a personal message.<br />
These should be hitting AD's mailboxes the beginning of next week!<br />

I was recently approached by the Philadelphia City Paper to once again do their annual People Who Died issue. I had done before it <a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2012/01/people-who-died-2011.html" target="_blank">two years ago</a> and had a great time working on it so when the opportunity came up again, I jumped on it.<br />
AD Reseca Peskin came prepared with the idea of framing the portraits in presidential-style duotone stamps with the portrait full-color inside. I found a wealth of reference to draw from with different style frames from various countries and time periods.<br />
<br />

For this piece, art director Reseca Peskin asked me to recreate one of those stereotypical romance novel covers where the voluptuous woman swoons against the shirtless man in some romantic location. Considering that the cover story is about fan fiction being written about Philadelphia Flyers players, the man being swooned for in this case is Philadelphia Flyers left wing Scott Hartnell.<br />

I had a lot of fun finding various examples and references of the romance novels and discovering just how many of them have the exact same composition (<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=romance+novel+cover&safe=active&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS512US512&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ohBTUoSSAsHqiwLh6oDoDA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1016&bih=553&dpr=1" target="_blank">seriously</a>) For my initial sketches, I worked up some variations of the standard pose and placed the couple in a moonlit garden.</div>

Once the first sketch was picked, I moved on to inking the final. I just switched to a new brand of ink and was extremely happy with how black my linework was on the paper. The previous ink I had been using was always turning out grey and not as opaque as I wanted.<br />
In coloring the piece, I tried to make the orange of Hartnell's hair and Flyers jersey really stand out against the blues in the rest of the scene.<br />

<br />
I'm really pleased with how the piece turned out and loved the text that Reseca and the folks at the City Paper did on the cover - it really nailed the romance novel look! Thanks to Reseca and the City Paper for the sweet job!<br />

Art director <a href="https://twitter.com/CamilleNeilson" target="_blank">Camille Neilson</a> contacted me with a great questionnaire about myself, my work, and the role technology plays in my work. And since it's a British magazine, I got to use the "favourite" and "colour" spellings!<br />

<b>1. What was your first Mac? </b><br />
My first Mac was white 13" MacBook. I bought it in 2006 right before I left for college in New York City. It somehow lasted me for over five years until it was tragically struck down by a rogue fireplace screen.<br />
<br />
<b>2. What is the current Mac you are using? </b><br />
I'm currently using a 13" MacBook Pro from late 2011.<br />
<br />
<b>3. What equipment do you use apart from your Mac (periferals etc)?</b><br />
I do most of my illustration work as ink drawings on Stonehenge watercolor paper. I use a scanner to bring the drawings into Photoshop where I can separate and manipulate the linework. My Wacom Bamboo tablet is incredibly useful once I begin to work on pieces digitally. I've had this tablet between six and seven years now and I'm dreading the day that it dies on me.<br />
<br />
<b>4. What is your favourite current software programme and what was the first programme you used?</b><br />
My favourite programme would have to be Photoshop. I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it. I'm also a big fan of GarageBand. Even though it's fairly limited and I know I should be using Logic by now, I've been totally satisfied with some of the songs I've been able to create for my music and animation project The Least of Creatures.<br />
The first programme I used must have been this game my sister and I loved that was called Jill of the Jungle. It was this great sidescrolling game where you would climb trees, swing on vines, collect keys and apples, and fight monsters.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Can you offer any tips for success?</b><br />
Some of the best bit of advice I can offer is to find a balance in your career between taking yourself and your work very seriously and the ability to have fun with it. I feel like one can very easily get bogged down in the monotony of their work and completely miss out on the learning experiences that it can offer. What has really helped me is giving myself assignments and projects to keep busy. By constantly working and practicing, you maintain an excitement about getting to make art.<br />
Another thing that I think is extremely helpful is being part of the community that you want to be in. As arduous as things like Facebook and Twitter can be at times, they're a great way to keep in touch with the people in your field that you admire and you want to work with. I have learned so much from being in contact with other illustrators and discovered that it's a friendly and supportive community.<br />
<br />
<b>6. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?</b><br />
When I was a kid, I definitely knew I wanted to be an artist. I didn't know in exactly what capacity, whether it was comic books or animation, but I just couldn't imagine doing anything but art for the rest of my life. The one exception might be paleontology. I was completely obsessed with dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure I made the right choice though.<br />
<br />
<b>7. How did you get your first big break? </b><br />
I believe it was the spring of 2011 and I had been out of school for a little over a year. I was living in Brooklyn and barely scraping by on whatever jobs I could get my hands on. Then one day I got a message from an art director from the New York Observer. She had come across my work on Twitter and thought I might be right for a spot she had coming up. It was through that first real published illustration that I was able to get my foot in the door and start to learn how to work in the business.<br />
<br />
<b>8. What or who are your influences and inspiration?</b><br />
A lot of my influences were instructors I had while I was at the School of Visual Arts. I was lucky enough to have teachers like Yuko Shimizu, Steve Brodner, Thomas Woodruff, David Soman, and John Ruggeri. Each one helped me grow tremendously as an artist.<br />
I've also been exposed to an incredible number of illustrators who are just outrageously talented and constantly impress me. I adore the work of Frank Stockton, Tomer Hanuka, Sam Bosma, Kali Ciesemier, Jillian Tamaki, Joel Kimmel, Alex Fine, Thomas Pitilli, and PJ McQuade. I could go on and on as there's a wealth of great talent out there.<br />
Another big inspiration for me, as both an illustrator and storyboard artist, is the work on cinematographers in film. I'm an absolute film geek and am constantly watching movies. I'm trying to study the way that films are composed and are able tell the story visually. Some of my favorites are Vilmos Zsigmond, Roger Deakins, Janusz Kaminski, Robert Elswit, and Conrad Hall.<br />
<br />
<b>9. What mistakes have you learned from?</b><br />
I probably learned the most from the time after college where I was taking on absolutely anything and everything I could just to make rent. I got myself in over my head more time than I'd like to admit. I would scour Craigslist for any art-related jobs, whether it be a logo design, creating flyers, drawings for someone's children book, or images for tee shirts. It was unfulfilling and frankly debasing. Somehow, I managed to pull through and learn what I was capable of and more importantly what exactly I wanted to do as an artist.<br />
<br />
<b>10. What's your ideal project?</b><br />
Because of my movie obsession, I would absolutely love to do illustrated movie posters. I've been a huge admirer of the work artists have been doing for Mondo. It's also been great to see more exhibits at places like like the Bottleneck Gallery, Hero Complex Gallery, or Gallery1988 with all of these incredible artists with a passion for pop culture. And if it ever happens I get to poster work, I certainly wouldn't mind doing anything having to do with Star Wars…<br />
<br />
<b>11. Tell us something good...</b><br />
“To live will be an awfully big adventure.”<br />
<br />
<b>12. What's your favourite gadget and why?</b><br />
I have to say my iPhone. Ever since my girlfriend convinced me that I needed to upgrade from my old BlackBerry, I've been so happy. It's just a wonderful tool for research, keeping in contact with clients, social media, and taking reference photos. It's unfortunately also fantastic for procrastinating. Bit of a double-edged sword.<br />
<br />
<b>Talk us through your work.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Revenge Story</b><br />
This was a promotional image I created as a sort of still from a film that I wanted to see. In this case, it was a combination of inspiration from Cormac McCarthy's books and Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven (which I believe is the most aesthetically beautiful film ever made) Although inking the piece was tedious, as well as eventually separating the linework in Photoshop, I ended up liking the process. It was a fun challenge to tell the story I was envisioning.<br />
<br />
<b>Better Than Goofy Golf</b><br />
This image was created for a show at the Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, New York called Where Is My Mind? The piece is based on one of my favorite films Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This one was strange for me as it's the first illustration I've done from start to finish in Photoshop. This allowed for me to get the level of extreme detail and accuracy I wanted in parts like the the grill of the truck or stalks of grass. While it was a great exercise for me, I don't plan on continuing to work strictly digital. I love inking too much.<br />
<br />
<b>Grenada Invasion</b><br />
This was an illustration for the Village Voice's Fall 2012 Education Supplement. The art director wanted a scene of absolute mayhem as medical students from New York City colleges and the offshore school of St. George's battled one another. Even though I dread having to draw crowd scenes, this one was ridiculously fun as I had free rein to go as insane and over-the-top as I wanted. I enjoyed coming up with all of the different tools and weapons that the medical students would have at their disposal and use against one another. I also found that this piece gave me an valid reason to use some of my blood spatter brushes in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
<b>Beasts of the Southern Wild</b><br />
This was a personal piece I did because I had been chomping at the bit to draw an animal as unique as the auroch. I also wanted to try and capture the strength in the magnetic little Quvenzhané Wallis as Hushpuppy. I did the auroch and Hushpuppy as separate drawings so I could adjust their scale and position once I started working digitally. When the piece came into Photoshop, I settled on a simple, earthy color palette and focused all attention on getting the two characters right. One of my favorite elements in the piece is a layer of thin pencil lines overlaid on the auroch's skin to convey the rough texture of the fur.<br />
<br />
<b>Father Vs. Son</b><br />
A personal piece I did for fun. I am absolutely obsessed with Star Wars and have been throughout my entire life. With this piece, I wanted to depict an alternate angle of sorts of the climatic confrontation scene in The Empire Strikes Back. I gathered as many reference images as I could in order to very accurately depict the set, props, and costumes in the scene. While inking, I drew Luke as a separate image so that I could freely move him around in the composition once I began working digitally.<br />

Here's a new set of portraits I did of everyone's favorite TV family...the Bluths! This project has been in the works for a long time now. After a hiatus in which I took on quite a bit of storyboard work as well as moved out of my apartment, I finally managed to sit down and finish all 9 portraits.<br />
Before the fourth season (which was okay) aired, I re-watched the first three seasons. I think this is the third or fourth time I've watched those seasons through. It's just complete and utter comedy gold. So when I came up with a Brady Bunch-esque arrangement of the Bluth family, I decided to depict them in their heyday before the fourth season. In this big family portrait, we've got:<br />
<br />
George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) with his prisonmade yarmulke<br />
Lucille (Jessica Walter) with her martini and not-so-subtle wink<br />
Buster (Tony Hale)<br />
Gob (Will Arnett) presumably in the midst of dancing to "The Final Countdown"<br />
Michael (Jason Bateman)<br />
Lindsay (Portia de Rossi)<br />
Maeby (Alia Shawkat)<br />
George Michael (Michael Cera) who is admiring Maeby<br />
And last but not least, Tobias (David Cross) who just blue himself.<br />

Here's a new piece I did for the Philadelphia City Paper's City Guide 2013. The City Guide is the City Paper's annual publication for introducing residents both old and new to a potentially richer experience in the City of Brotherly Love with venues, restaurants, neighborhoods, and events. You can peruse the entire issue at <a href="http://issuu.com/phillycp/docs/cityguide_2013" target="_blank">http://issuu.com/phillycp/docs/cityguide_2013</a><br />
Art director Reseca Peskin contacted me with the idea of drawing Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Bridge along with the city skyline behind it.<br />
I sketched up a couple of ideas that would fit the bridge and skyline into the cover's layout. Right from the start, I wanted to do my first sketch. Luckily, Reseca and the folks at the City Paper agreed and let me go for it.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZhlhOU3YhtP4srvMF7QQFaJCTaIkuvkHCfx4ZUtbat5Fbx4ifz9hBoCD1caPLbgxe93DXgnQCiteVECUwkhTCbcL4rnrLHcktj6CY3vsocT1SLl52xV5pL0agV98uzJENkFTVjJWC0o_d/s1600/cityguide_sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZhlhOU3YhtP4srvMF7QQFaJCTaIkuvkHCfx4ZUtbat5Fbx4ifz9hBoCD1caPLbgxe93DXgnQCiteVECUwkhTCbcL4rnrLHcktj6CY3vsocT1SLl52xV5pL0agV98uzJENkFTVjJWC0o_d/s320/cityguide_sketch.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sketches</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
With the go-ahead, I started gathering a whole lot of reference images. Since this piece was specifically for people in Philadelphia, I was determined to get all of the details just right. I know I'd be peeved if someone got my hometown wrong, so I really didn't want to disappoint.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjBnE-wWh0iPV_WtyKtIDOVpy_GGqm_Krbt7CjLTSCROSwIHtr7TxsAa8OtilM34r6RjPO-HodESkTr75veQC6jf5YrtgUeTAByNT2MTXueAVm6dAW8sKrJZbjDLRaPbOQzpg5uomyD3D3/s1600/detail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjBnE-wWh0iPV_WtyKtIDOVpy_GGqm_Krbt7CjLTSCROSwIHtr7TxsAa8OtilM34r6RjPO-HodESkTr75veQC6jf5YrtgUeTAByNT2MTXueAVm6dAW8sKrJZbjDLRaPbOQzpg5uomyD3D3/s320/detail1.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Detail - Skyline</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="text-align: center;">Although I was initially a bit intimidated by the architectural aspects of the drawing (despite the genetic predisposition possibly passed on to me by my dad the architect) I ended up really enjoying inking this piece. I especially enjoyed it because I got through a whole bunch of episodes of <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives" target="_blank">This American Life</a>.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">In order to get that detail I wanted, I did the piece as two separate drawings. One was just the foreground with the bridge and its base and the other drawing was of the skyline, which I then shrunk down to the appropriate size in Photoshop. </span><br />
The issue just came out and I'm incredible happy with how it turned out.<br />

So many of these companies set up in the Sunshine State because of it's proximity to dangerous (aka profitable) countries like Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Venezuela.<br />
Art director Miche Ratto contacted me about the pieces, wanting three spots of specific "scenes" described in the article. Instead of full color spots, she suggested black and white line drawings, referencing the <a href="http://cameronklewis.com/hairy-baltimore.html" target="_blank">drawings that I did</a> for Alex Fine's awesome Hairy Baltimore book back in 2011.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first scene is of a training exercise that former British soldier and Miami-based mercenary Andrew "Orlando" Wilson ran with the Mexican military. Soldiers were submitted to simulated torture, being hung over a makeshift latrine and waterboarded.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The second references the expereiences of John Walbridge Jr, a Vietnam veteran. As a member of the Green Berets in Vietnam, his unit was known for ambushing POW camps and escorting rescued POWs across borders. Walbridge went on to found OSSI, a very successful private security company based in Miami.<br />
<br />

<br />
The last image is of a mercenary soldier from Hamed Wardak's very controversial private security company NCL Holdings guarding a cargo truck in Afghanistan.<br />
Although researching all of the weapons made me nervous that the NSA was going to crack down on me, I had a blast working on these drawings. Without having to think about color, I really let myself get invested in the drawing.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.578125px;">I chose to do a piece based on Spielberg's classic <i>Close Encounters of the Third Kind </i>because, besides my Spielberg obsession, it's a marvelous movie and is a prime example of a director at his peak of ambition and creativity. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.578125px;">Because it's such a visually iconic movie, I wanted to do one of those well-known moments while staying away from Devils Tower and the arrival of the Sky Harbor at the end. I wanted to show the initial moment in which the aliens make contact with Neary in his truck that sets off his obsession throughout the story.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.578125px;">What was especially fun for me was getting all of the details right in the truck. I found out (via the <a href="http://www.imcdb.org/" target="_blank">Internet Movie Cars Database</a>) that Roy drives a 1975 Ford F-250 for his job at Indiana Dept. of Water & Power. I dove into research and found some great images of everything from the grill to the side mirrors to the chrome details on the side. Unlike most of my work, I did this one entirely in Photoshop. I'm not sure if that's a direction I'll stick with, as I just love inking too much, but I feel like it was a great exercise for me.</span><br />

Okay, it's finally done. Finito. It's a wrap. The <i>Harry Potter</i> franchise poster project is complete.<br />
For some reason, this one for <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</i> has been the one that caused me the most trouble from the beginning. I don't know what it exactly is that's made it so difficult. Maybe it's that the main conflict/defining moment from the film, which is something I've generally focused on in the top section of these posters, is simply not that big of a deal in the film. Most of the running time is spent introducing and building the world.<br />
My first run at <i>Sorcerer's Stone</i> was based around the showdown between Harry and Quirrell/Voldemort in the chamber where the Mirror of Erised is kept. Although I liked the imagery of Lily and James Potter in the mirror and what that means to Harry, I felt everything surrounding it was a bit boring.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dySw_cDhbTCIBO7JXmh0_bAYDr7GZi9B3JCaCe9xo6Pt-3MbDHTHdPU8373PwYzGzagZa0DE3GGnr1WmbTD5Eeae_MiL4Ib_5hhkHF0u9uV7NzHSD7yjj2fWwuNuMcOe540AhPuhSVeN/s1600/mirror.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dySw_cDhbTCIBO7JXmh0_bAYDr7GZi9B3JCaCe9xo6Pt-3MbDHTHdPU8373PwYzGzagZa0DE3GGnr1WmbTD5Eeae_MiL4Ib_5hhkHF0u9uV7NzHSD7yjj2fWwuNuMcOe540AhPuhSVeN/s320/mirror.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Snapshot of Harry and the Mirror of Erised on their own</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So after abandoning that idea, I decided to focus on a different important moment: when Harry is sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat. It's in this moment that Harry's fate for the next seven years is essentially decided.<br />
Rather than crowd the Great Hall scene with all of the students at their House tables or the professors at their table at the back wall, I made it so that Harry was like the only person in the world in that moment. I've loved the look of the Great Hall set from the very first film onwards and was very excited to draw it.<br />

With this one done, the complete series of posters has been compiled into one big image...all eight films from <i>Sorcerer's Stone</i> to <i>Deathly Hallows Part 2</i>! In this image, it's especially clear how Harry is growing up through each poster.</div>

I'm terribly pleased with the way that the whole series has turned out. It was a great exercise in style as well as a commitment to an extended project. Thanks for sticking with me throughout this whole series!<br />

Here's some work I did recently for the Philadelphia City Paper, who I always enjoy working with. This time, AD Reseca Peskin contacted me to do the cover as well as an illustration inside the issue for their annual Writing Contest issue. The winning fiction story, which you can <a href="http://www.citypaper.net/cover_story/2013_Writing_Contest_Fiction_After_the_River.html" target="_blank">read here</a>, is about a woman who works as a casino card dealer. When her child dies, she and her husband take a trip to New Orleans to help get their mind off of their loss.<br />
Reseca had the idea for the cover of a black voodoo pin, which is used to relieve pain, pushed through the suicide king playing card. As for the illustration inside the issue, she had the idea of an airplane made out of playing cards.<br />
When I began sketching, I went through several variations just to push the ideas.<br />

We wound up combining the normal king face and my more gruesome skull king into one and going with the plane covered in the elements from the card rather than made out of cards.<br />

Here's the poster for <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 </i>and I think it might be my favorite of this poster series thus far. Or at least tied with <i><a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2013/03/enemies-of-heir-beware.html" target="_blank">Chamber</a></i>.<br />
Wonderfully directed by David Yates, this movie is <i>such</i> a satisfying conclusion to the franchise. It's swift and doesn't waste a second away from the story. Although that ends up leaving out some key parts from the book. its a solid, emotional, and impressive film as well as a great bookend to the films.<br />
So when it came to the poster, I decided to pare down and concentrate solely on the battle between Harry and Voldemort in the Hogwarts courtyard.<br />
<br />

Hogwarts has been beautifully captured in the films since day one (and I loved depicting it before on <a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2013/01/mischief-managed.html" target="_blank"><i>Prisoner</i></a>) so I really wanted it dominate the image on top. I feel like it really drives home the point that Hogwarts is Harry's true home and it is under attack. Simple as that.<br />

And with this one, I've got seven out of the eight posters done. Now time to go back to the very beginning with S<i>orcerer's Stone</i>. I originally started <i>Sorcerer's</i> after <i>Chamber</i>, but was having trouble with what direction to take it. So I shelved it. That way, I could tackle the other movies that I simply enjoy more and get a more definite idea of what I was doing with these posters. Anyway, look for it soon!<br />

<i>Hook</i> is my favorite (non-Star Wars) movie, as has <a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2012/10/you-are-pan.html" target="_blank">already been documented</a>. That being said, when Joe from the <a href="http://www.bottleneckgallery.com/" target="_blank">Bottleneck Gallery</a> asked me to participate in their next group show, <i>I Love You Man</i>, an ode to bromance, I thought of Hook and Smee right away.<br />
<br />

<br />
I just adore every frame of this movie and this scene between Hook and Smee is a standout favorite. There's a great rapport between veteran actors Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins and they are clearly having fun with their characters. From Hook's childish narcissism to Smee's idiot savant idea, they're an oddly perfect match for one another.<br />

So to show their bromance, I picked the specific moment where Smee is using his earwax to tweak Hook's mustache. Such a moment could only happen between true brosephs.<br />

The show is running at the Bottleneck Gallery at 60 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11249 from Friday May 10th until the 26th. Given the quality of their past shows, <i>I Love You Man</i> should be filled with great work by some ridiculously talented artists. A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund.

Here's my poster for <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1</i>. Other than <i>Prisoner of Azkaban</i>, this is probably my favorite of the HP films. Directed by David Yates, the film is essentially the calm before the storm, before the final showdowns at the Battle of Hogwarts. It's surprisingly mature and emotionally rich, while still providing impressive action beats.<br />
Harry, Ron, and Hermione go on the run and try to finish Dumbledore's work in destroying the Horcruxes. Meanwhile, Voldemort grows stronger and gains power and influence across the wizarding world.<br />

With this poster, I'm 3/4 of the way done with six out of the eight films. Next up is the <i>Deathly Hallows Part 2</i>, which I'm tremendously excited about, before I go back and knock out <i>Sorcerer's Stone</i>.<br />

<br />
Here's my poster for film six of the Harry Potter franchise, <i>Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince</i>! The sixth book is probably my favorite of the series and I feel the film, directed by David Yates, does an admirable job adapting it. Naturally, a lot has to be left by the wayside in order to make it a digestible film. While there are parts of the book that are sadly missing and changed, I think that the streamlining of the plot to focus primarily on Harry was for the most part very smart.<br />
At the top of the poster, we see the cave where Harry and Dumbledore go to seek out a Horcrux that contains a part of Voldemort's soul. Swarming them from both sides are the Inferi, which are dead bodies that have been reanimated by a dark wizard to do their bidding.<br />

Well that's five down and three to go on this series! I'm very excited to do both posters for the two Deathly Hallows films. Or I at least feel that way based on my sketches. We'll see if I feel differently once it comes time to do the finished versions.<br />

Halfway done! This is the fourth entry in my series of posters for the Harry Potter films and it's for the fifth film, <i>Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix</i>. Directed by David Yates, who went on to direct the rest of the films in the series, this film is the beginning of the build toward the battle for the wizarding world. Voldemort is back and once again building his army of followers.<br />
For the scene at the top of this poster, I wanted to feature the spectacularly staged duel between Voldemort and the only wizard that rivals him, Dumbledore.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This also gave me an excuse to show the magma-esque "priori incantatem" - the phenomenon that happens when spells meet in duels in the HP universe.<br />

Looming over Voldemort and Dumbledore is the mysterious veil from the Death Chamber in the Department of Mysteries. I felt this would be a foreboding presence in the image since it is where Harry loses the closest thing he has to family in the climax.<br />
That's four down and four to go. Next up is <i>Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince</i>!<br />

<i>Another</i> Harry Potter poster! This time it's for the fourth film in the franchise, <i>Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</i> directed by Mike Newell.<br />
Because this is the film that marks the first real appearance of Lord Voldemort (played brilliantly by Ralph Fiennes) I wanted the scene at the top of the poster to be where he returns - the Little Hangleton graveyard. In the upper right corner of the poster, you can the Riddle House overlooking the graveyard.<br />
In the center stands the Triwizard Cup that transports Harry to the graveyard at the end of the Triwizard Tournament. The cup sits at the base of the very sinister "angel of death" tombstone on the Riddle grave and is flanked by Voldemort's Death Eaters - thankfully, the later films would redesign the Death Eaters' costumes to be much less reminiscent of a certain evil organization. I'm fairly certain that the "Death Eaters" name alone already sells that they're bad.<br />

Here's a new spot for this week's Village Voice. The article by Neil deMause (which you can read <a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/2013-04-03/news/contingency-plan-outsourcing-education/" target="_blank">here</a>) is about how most colleges' instructors are only part-time adjuncts rather than full-time professors. This leaves them with significantly lower wages, virtually no job security or benefits, and can impact the students.<br />

The wonderful Jesus Diaz at the Village Voice wanted a piece that emphasized the instability of the adjuncts' jobs and how they're being exploited by the colleges.<br />

Hey! It's another Harry Potter poster! This time it's for the second installment <i>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets</i>. After doing the <a href="http://society6.com/cameronklewis/Harry-Potter--the-Prisoner-of-Azkaban_Print" target="_blank">poster for <i>Prisoner of Azkaban</i></a>, the idea of doing a whole series of posters for the films began to take root in the back of my mind and gnaw away until I finally dove in and started on another.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikfc3m1rQwR9SY8_WrU4yi1cE3FJU0zEz1UNugG9DtgZ4ICa9n0lmPltYksLyJoSqgohEd9FzzmKMqowp5XzZyGD1aOqYy4yKZZhjjlY7XknhQCkB7gb5VJsja3hyphenhyphen4-pHw7iGvE_QpJkqu/s1600/basilisk_detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikfc3m1rQwR9SY8_WrU4yi1cE3FJU0zEz1UNugG9DtgZ4ICa9n0lmPltYksLyJoSqgohEd9FzzmKMqowp5XzZyGD1aOqYy4yKZZhjjlY7XknhQCkB7gb5VJsja3hyphenhyphen4-pHw7iGvE_QpJkqu/s320/basilisk_detail.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Basilisk-Detail</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
For this one, I really wanted to depict the Chamber of Secrets itself, as I thought it was pretty wonderfully done in the film, with the carving of Salazar Slytherin. I also wanted to communicate the pretty dark nature of the story and the serious danger that the Basilisk poses to Harry and all of Hogwarts.<br />
I'm not sure if I'll be going in any particular order as I move through the rest of the series, but if anyone has any ideas for key elements or scenes from the other films, please leave them in the comments below!<br />

<br />
Here's my new animation "Always" for my music and animation project <a href="http://www.facebook.com/theleastofcreatures" target="_blank">The Least of Creatures</a>.<br />
With this video, which is my first in nearly a year and a half, I wanted to shift away from the simpler, more graphic videos I've done before (to see the other videos, visit <a href="http://vimeo.com/leastofcreatures">vimeo.com/leastofcreatures</a>) and make it a much more cinematic experience. While I had done mostly visuals paired with some sort of kinetic type, I wanted it to be a straightforward narrative that could very well stand on its own, with or without the song (though I'd prefer that it be with the song, thank you very much)<br />
The song is essentially about meeting someone special and how you quickly you can find yourself falling head over heels. You can reexamine all the little moments that led up to it, but it still seems that the universe happened to align just right so that you could meet one another.<br />
With the video, I wanted to tell that same story, but in an exaggerated way. I also wanted to take all that I've learned from my job as a storyboard artist and apply it to the animation. I wanted to have it read as though it were a short film I had shot. I very actively tried to replicate and reference shots from movies and TV. Here's a small cheat sheet with the frame paired with the one it references.<br />

<br />
It's definitely by far the best and most complex thing I've done in terms of my animation (in the end, the animation was comprised of over 1200 individual drawings) While animation is still purely a hobby, I would love to keep pushing myself farther in what I can do with it.<br />
And if you like the song, you can download it for FREE at <a href="https://soundcloud.com/theleastofcreatures/always">https://soundcloud.com/theleastofcreatures/always</a><br />

Hope you all enjoy it!<br />

Here's a new cover for the Commercial Observer's Hollywood Issue. AD Ed Johnson wanted to link together an interview with real estate magnate/movie producer Charles Cohen along with stories about the sale of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center and real estate companies using tax incentives for filming in New York ( read the interview with Cohen <a href="http://commercialobserver.com/2013/02/the-moviegoer-cohen-brothers-realtys-charles-cohen-talks-real-estate-predicts-oscar-winners/" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
Between this cover piece and storyboards for three different jobs, it was a pretty crazy weekend of work. I managed to get through it just fine with the help of quality audiobooks from David Sedaris, Steve Martin, and Tina Fey.<br />
Thanks again to Ed for a fun gig!<br />

Hey, it's another poster for fun!<br />
Over the holidays, I was given the Harry Potter Blu-Ray boxset by my girlfriend's parents (I also recently brought all of my Harry Potter books back from MI so I'll be re-reading that whole series as well) We promptly began marathon-ing through the movies. In watching them all, I realized just how significant of a leap in maturity and depth the franchise took when Alfonso Cuaron took on the third movie, <i>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</i>. It's really an astounding change and I think that it nailed the darker turn the books were taking. Plus, it's just a great movie start to finish, from the performances to the production design to the cinematography and the music.<br />
I may have done a <a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2010/11/harry-potter.html" target="_blank">Harry Potter illustration before</a> (which has a ridiculous number of views for some reason) in anticipation of the Deathly Hallows Part 1, as well as just a <a href="http://cameronklewis.blogspot.com/2012/01/hp.html" target="_blank">quick drawing</a> of the good ol' Boy Who Lived, but I think I like this one the most. Castles, dogs, and hippogriffs? Good fun.<br />
