Shadow Apples

  • Karen Mattiazzo

They had an illustration already, but wanted a revamp of it. It consists of an apple with a speech bubble with it's logo inside it. So what they asked for is 'give it a 1930's look to it' so I did.

Shadow Apples by Karen Mattiazzo
1930's style with two variations of colouring, grain and coloured.

The illustrations needed to have these eyes that are very characteristic of 30's cartoons, the hands with gloves is also a must to be able to give the idea of old school, vintage Mickey Mouse. The legs though are drawn like this because of the tree, then I just added a touch of surreal, a hand streching out of a hole in the ground that seems like there's water under. The hand holds the apple while it speaks the name of the brand. Weird and cute I guess.
Some close ups of the illustration and how the logo looks without the speech bubble. Here you see the full design then elements taken from it to make pocket prints.
