Somewhat Childish: Key Art
Personal illustration project...
I'm a big Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino supporter (; I even wrote a blog post about him and one of my favourite TV shows here). As usual, I decided to illustrate an idea that derived from my interpretation. This creation is based on his show Atlanta using my raw, cartoon like visual language.
I did this illustration because I love the show so much. Many may not even know that every single detail in most of my work is important and there is always a concept present further than the obvious. In this piece Somewhat Childish, his body is facing away from ‘camera’ because one of the show’s promos was a sequence of some of the main characters moving backwards but the visual was played forward like Pharcyde’s 1995 music video ‘Drop’. (Also, he is holding a cookie because Darius (another one of the characters) offered him one when he and Earn, Glover's character, first met.)
Watch the show - it's genius.
