A personal piece celebrating Norfolk, Virginia — a city I lived in for about four years while my wife was at EVMS, in the Ghent neighborhood. This one started as flat 2D icons, the same way most of my illustration work begins, before I pushed the whole set through a claymation-style 3D render: the MacArthur Memorial, the Chrysler Museum's rotunda, the Harrison Opera House, the NARO cinema marquee, the old trolley, Nauticus, even the mermaid sculptures the city's known for, all rebuilt as soft, tactile little objects scattered across one blue backdrop like a collection of toys.
