Hmmm, I think my comment didn’t work. Sorry if there ends up being duplicates…

Thanks for the love, everyone. Evan, Hunter, The Law of Few, Kristin, Richard, etc. all made this a huge success. Definitely one of the most fantastic projects I’ve ever had the privilege to be a part of!

A while ago I posted about the process behind the artwork on my (old) blog:

Thanks for the love, everyone! MiB was definitely one of the best projects I’ve ever been a part of. Huge props to everyone involved (Evan, Hunter, Kristin, Richard, the list goes on)! So happy to finally see it made it up here.

This has been out for a while. At the studio I was working at previously, we had this as a reference for a job we were working on.

This spot is actually titled ‘Men In Black’ and is a portion of the Oscar Nominated feature length documentary ‘Operation Homecoming’.

It is a true story as told by a real soldier named Colby.

The illustration was created by Portland Studios and the animation was done by Evan Parsons working with The Law of Few. The piece was commissioned by The Endowment of the Arts and featured on PBS in 2006.
