Illustration Licensing Options

This illustration is a great example of an illo that was created for a past project, and due to the nature of it’s original use it is able to be relicensed and see the light of day a 2nd time! Now most projects don’t allow me to do this, but occasionally I can. So if you see something you fancy, don’t hesitate to drop me an email and I’ll look into it.

This Art Deco inspired illustration is currently gracing the covers of programs for the Welsh National Opera’s Spring production of The Abduction from Seraglio by Mozart. This production by American director James Robinson is set in the 1920’s on the Orient Express. More info on the production can be found here.

The Winter Olympic games may still be in full swing here in Vancouver, but the Illolab garden is also showing signs of Spring. Crocuses, daffodils and irises have all been up for a couple of weeks, but now the camellia blossoms have finally made a show.

Wishing all my family, friends and clients a prosperous New Year!
I’ll be posting a generic version of this for sale on my Etsy Store soon.

Cheers, Scott

Here’s a detail…

The Winter Olympic Games have officially started here in Vancouver, there is an incredible amount of energy in the city at this time. Over the last three years, the lead up to the games has impacted virtually all of the city’s residents. The amount of revenue generated is surely incalculable. I’ve personally worked on several projects that would never have crossed my path if the games weren’t being held here.

Here’s one of my favorites, conceptual sketches for the digital Gateway at the 2010 Commerce Centre commissioned by Vancouver’s Switch Interactive. See my portfolio post here. This once neglected utility corridor in the Robson Conference centre was transformed into a vital and interactive experience promoting BC’s technology sector. There are a couple videos of the final installation on YouTube:

Wow January has flown past. My first child Cole was born on January 1st and has been our primary focus. Needless to say I’ve fallen behind with my posts. So to make up for that I thought I’d share a “behind the scenes” quicktime slideshow of an oil painting from Autumn that I’ve been intending to post. It gives an overview of my oil painting process broken down into 7 basic steps. I plan to post more like this in the future, but I just need to be more diligent about documenting each stage!

I’ve also got lots of new pieces from the end of last year that will get uploaded to the portfolio soon.

Cheers, Scott.

I just want to wish everyone a very special Christmas and wonderful new year.

These are a couple of photos I took Christmas Day at the church around the corner from here. There is an eagle “couple” that winters here each year and can often be found on this church spire.

All the best, Scott
