Digital Illustration: Le Clos, Haiti

When somewhere new they say, “do as the Romans do.” In Haiti, well… This digital conté crayon drawing of where we used to live was an attempt in naïve style—a popular style in Haiti. Tried my best to be naïve. Unfortunately, when you’re a designer things has to make visual sense, perspective, colors, light and shadows etc. and this logic is like OS X pre-installed in your brain. Though what’s good about being a designer is even if you can’t be naïve, you can still wiggle your way out to create a half-way naïve art. Actually, more like wiggling your way into creating Frankenstein.

Ba Li Gaz Flyer 2

Designing things for Gaz Kole is fun! There’s something about cars and speed that motivate designers more than pretty models posing in front of the camera… needing a bit of Photoshop. You could almost hear tires screeching and engines roaring when you do designs like this. Digitally adding the smoke effect was pure pleasure, like eating double bacon cheese burgers while running 200kmH on the streets of Port Au Prince, but of course without the jackhammer effect and crazy traffic common in Haitian streets. 

So don’t forget to checkout Gaz Kole’s Ba Li Gaz 2011!
