Winston Zeddemore

The 80's played such an important role in shaping me as a person as well as an artist. I knew I wanted to draw and create because of Saturday morning cartoons,80's movies and the whole 80's vibe. Bottle up what best describes you and share it! Trust me, the world will be interested.

Life can be busy as a bee! Take time and be a child for a second. Trust me, you will enjoy it.

Day Dreaming !

We all feel like ours dreams sometimes slip away from us. Circumstances in life sometimes can crush or put a hold on our true callings. Never forget what makes you happy, and go for it. Our day dreams can turn into reality.

Here is an illustration I Sketched out a month or two ago. Finally got around to inking it up. Enjoy :)

Redesigned Elmers Logo

Not to long ago I was walking through the store and noticed the Elmer's glue in the children's section. The bottle was designed for children but the logo seemed so boring. I thought to myself "what if they redesigned their old logo for their children brand". The old logo works, but I felt like it could be more fun. Well here is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.

Filmetrics film !

I had the pleasure of working on this neat little video while interning at Fablevision. I was given a few rough drawings of the background and was asked to try to create a panning city scene. the original background had the character driving through a country scene,but the client wanted more of a city scene.It was great to work along side great artist's and learning new techniques. Thanks again to everyone there at Fablevision for the chance to make awesome things !!




Here's the final film.

Charity Logo !!

Had the pleasure of creating a Logo for a good cause. The client wanted to incorporate a chair with the letter J. The only other request was to make the Letter J Blue.
