Illustrative Stunt Double
Striking a pose.
When ever I need reference material for a creative project involving a male figure I call up my friend John Nissen. He was my best man and we've known each other since attending art school. He also has a good stereotypical body type which makes him my go to male model. ;-P
An agency hired me to create some linear illustrations for a campaign pitch. The topic was medical and they requested a few samples to use in their presentation.
Doctor with stethoscope linear illustration.
John is an Art Director at a local firm here in town where I live and does both design and illustration himself so he knows how to strike that perfect pose. In this case a doctor getting ready to listen to your heart via a stethoscope.
These were going to be animated just like the bank spots I've done in the past.
Acting for the sake of art.
Here John is posing as a sick guy looking for a cure online. Does he have H1N1 or is he just a Hypochondriac?
Googling for Rx linear illustration.
Like so much agency work this project died before it ever had a chance to be animated. Easy come, easy go.
