…The final artist I wanna share with you is Joey Ellis. He's an illustrator based out…of Charlotte, North Carolina and Joey is one…of the most talented vector-based illustrators I know.…He's also a prolific drawer, which is in…my opinion, the true strength in his illustrative…designs. And why they exude so much character.…This specific illustration was part of a promotion…that he did having a difreent train car for each post…card that he mailed out. I think that is a brilliant…idea because a lot of times post cards are just, you…know. You just file 'em in the trash can when they…come in, and this way people, art directors specifically, those who…he wanted to do work with, would hold on to him…because they all fit together and form this cool train. So,…I thought that was a great idea. I know that I'm…an illustrator, I'm not even gonna hire him, but…I was waiting for the next one to show up.…
So. He does an incredible job though, of using colors…within his illustration and that alone makes an illustration sing.…
