ANDY WARD, ACROSS THE BOARD

We are delighted to share the energetic work of Andy Ward, a unique talent from our group who is in demand in virtually every market.  Andy’s delicious palette, charming portraits, and ability to inject concepts with enormous humor make his illustrations stand out on the page of any publication. When it comes to branding and advertising assignments, he brings in a blend of originality, style, and an acute adeptness for character design. Andy's artwork has appeared on the surfaces of airplanes and buses, iPhone apps, billboards, apparel, restaurant menus, store fronts, and the list goes on.  He also writes, directs, and illustrates for his motion work, then teams up with animators to bring the stills to life. Below are some examples of Andy’s illustrations and animations. Enjoy!

AND THE ADDY GOES TO...

In a World Wide Web of short attention spans, what better way to get minds and stomachs zeroed in on your product than an interactive online game? Brian Biggs worked with Red Door Interactive to create this Addy award winning campaign, "Rubio's Chase the Taste: The Return of The Original Fish Taco® Game". The objective: search through the massive crowd to find The Original Fish Tacos®, Rubio's chef, Ralph, and other hidden goodies. A drawing for the chance to win $2,500 and several iPads was an added incentive for the players. In addition, coupons for a free fish taco were issued to everyone who played.
