Here is an excerpt from the Workbook blog regarding the event:

"Workbook's Creative Carnival party took place Thursday night, and the event was an outrageous, smashing success. With the outstanding mid-town Art Directors Club as the venue, The more than fifty photographers and illustrators took center stage to create their impressions of the Carnival scene. Twenty-five Workbook illustrators sketched what they saw, and at least as many Workbook photographers shot the scene: a contortionist, freak show, lion tamer, and burlesque performers. How about drag queens serving incredible libations and hors de oeuvres? Creative Carnival was not your average cocktail party by any means. Workbook kicked off Halloween weekend with a unique vibe that created a night no attendee will forget anytime soon. Nothing was too strange, too abstract or too risque, and an anything-goes mood defined the evening."

Workbook also announced that 43 of the pieces created were sold on site for a total of $2,150. This money will go to the ADC Scholarship Fund, which awards 5 scholarships each year for exceptional art and photography students.

SHAW NIELSEN TEACHES US HOW TO FEED A HUNGRY GIANT!

Workman Publishing recently asked Shaw Nielsen to illustrate a pop-up book called How Do You Feed a Hungry Giant? by Caitlin Friedman. A very versatile artist, Shaw can illustrate a heartwarming 30-page narrative, and also think quickly and conceptually for editorial jobs. No matter what the assignment, you can always count on Shaw for his big sense of humor and vivid imagination.

"My process for illustrating children's characters is a well kept secret - until now! I often put myself in the mindset of the character and pose myself in the mirror, making the noises I imagine the character would make if he/she could jump off the page and speak. In the case of the Hungry Giant I would find myself hunched over in front of the mirror repeating "nom nom nom!" My dog found the whole thing a little confusing and her expressions made for great inspiration for the dog, Cowgirl, in the book.

I think my favorite part of the book was working with the graphic designer to develop all of the pop-up and paper engineered elements."

DANIEL HERTZBERG: CONCEPT CONNOISSEUR

DANIEL HERTZBERG FOR CAR + DRIVER

SKETCH WORK

This was a full-pager for last month's issue of Car and Driver. The article was about a new line of Jeeps that have been released. The art director wanted it to feel like a propaganda poster, with reference to the outdoorsy-ness of Jeeps- hence the mountains in the background. Reference was provided by the art director.

DANIEL HERTZBERG FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

SKETCH WORK

It was an honor to do an illustration for the New York Times a few weeks ago. It was the biggest piece I've ever done for them (about 9.5" square). The article was about the music site Spotify, which has tens of millions of songs available for free, all within "the cloud." The article also had a classical music twist, so I thought music notes raining down from the clouds would be very appropriate. Hopefully there's the sense of limitless amounts of music in this. The Spotify brand is green, so we kept it that way.

 We are very excited to see Scotty Reifsnyder’s work featured in the recent issue of Common Ground Magazine!

We are pleased to share some of the process resulting in these striking images, as we have a couple of the artist's initial sketches. Scotty says that both sketches were ideas for the front cover, but the client liked them so well that one of them was used with the article inside the magazine.

"The process of working with the animation studio, Cuppa Coffee was particularity interesting, as it was the first time I've been involved in animation. I worked as the designer creating all the characters and settings, but collaborating with the people I was working with helped take take my ideas to better places. Also on the print side of things, working directly with the agency Draftfcb was wonderful, they understood my work and how to use it. All in all a fantastic campaign to be a part of.

Oh and I also got a tour of the park in order to better illustrate some of the features, one of the interesting things to happen during the process."
