The end of 07 brought some interesting conversations about the launching of a gallery tour with Pablo's art work throughout different countries. Pablo's inventory, currently in a garage in Van Nuys, includes a wealth of his fifty year plus career, and spans from original boards shown to Stan Lee in his first job interview, all the way to the logo work he did for the 'Napoleon Dynamite' filmmakers a few years back.
We're currently putting together an introductory book that takes us through the evolution of his work and is remarkable to see how much ground he's covered. Pablo's career bounces from comics to animated commercials, from pioneering quick cut commercials to multiple-frames in the original Thomas Crown Affair, and leaves a mark in the world of motion graphics and typography with his title and logo designer work for film and tv.
The latest up his sleeve is the creation of a line of calenders featuring his lovely animated alter ego, in a variety of sweet (and often disturbing...) images. Check out a few below...
We came up with the idea of re-sampling the classic UPA/Mr.Magoo design of wild colors and asymmetric shapes, and build it with photographic elements within 3D modeling, all of it layered with a wealth visual effects. A look that sets out to be both modern and familiar.
At the end of two months, we developed a handful of environments for the film and created this animation test, based on the Grand Royale Cinema scene in Hell's Kitchen, 1951. WIP, Work in Progress.
