FUTURE UTOPIA – Album Artwork Animation

  • Euan McGrath

I was excited to be a part of this project creating animations from the wonderful artwork by Pentagram’s Abbott Miller & illustrator Ori Toor, for the new music project from producer Fraser T Smith: FUTURE UTOPIA. Creatively steering the ship was Robin Burke of 1983 Creative with Giovanni Bucci & Lukas Weyandt collaborating with me on the animation. Check out @thefutureutopia on Instagram for an immersive dive into the world we created (some highlights below) or click the post below this to view the animated artwork as a whole.
