Interview with Nathan Jurevicius

I recently interviewed Nathan Jurevicius and the production team behind the Scarygirl online game. If you haven’t seen Nathan’s work before I suggest you take a look!

Best known for creating the quirky world of Scarygirl, Nathan Jurevicius is one of the industry’s hardest working illustrators. Not only is he the creative force behind a swag of collectible figures, various mini comics, solo exhibitions in both Australia and overseas, a graphic novel (due to be released October ‘09) and a proposed feature film. He is also responsible for the lavish styling of the newly released Scarygirl online game.

This was not achieved by one person alone. With the help of Sophie Byrne (Passion Pictures Australia) and financial assistance from the Film Victoria Digital Media Fund – Nathan, and a team of dedicated professionals have brought the world of Scarygirl to life.

In this interview, developers Tony Polinelli and Tarwin Stroh-Spijer from Touch My Pixel, ‘in game’ Flash animator Suren Perera from Renmotion and Nathan Jurevicius share their professional viewpoints on the production of this ground breaking project.

Pillow fight…pillow

I had a little mail exchange with the guys from Kolorys, I liked their product, they liked my folio and we arranged my first 40×40 pillow with them.

After that I had a flash in my mind of that classic Playboy photos of gorgeous playmates fighting with pillows on bed with all the feathers flying around them, so I thought it could be fun to have a pillow with a pillow fight on it, plus it’s even more fun to remake one of those images with my chubby girls instead of the perfect curvy gals from Playboy.

I also added little rabbits around as a quote

Editions / Power in Numbers Screenprints

Edition / Power in Numbers ‘Prints’ from the exhibition a few weeks ago, by Cure Studio and Print Club London now available to ‘Purchase’. 50 copies of 50 one colour screenprints were printed, with the theme ‘Power in Numbers’. Its amazing what you can achieve with just one colour, and how the artists have approached the theme so differently.

My screenprint: ‘For Good / For Evil’

“…We had an open call for submissions which we put out to the illustrator community at large – we also approached a few key people directly who we knew would produce something amazing,” enthuses Hurst. “Out of the open call we received over 400 submissions from all over the world… it’s very sad we could only print up 50 of them!” The two enterprising curators have chosen work by artists from Pakistan, Germany, Israel, France, Norway and the UK for the show…”

Gaia

Gaia 09 – A project to raise awareness for climate change:

Climate change and the conservation of our planet is one of the most important issues facing us today. A group of designers and themers have tried to find a way of contributing their own part. How though could a website about desktop customization help to combat global warming?

A mentionable majoritiy of co2 emission is produced by industry. Private households also add significantly to the problem by using multiple fridges, televisions, cars and – last but not least – personal computers. So what can we do to support the movement? With this project, we want to raise awareness for the issue and remind users of nature and its beauty. To remind you of shutting down your computer at night if it’s not in use. To turn your gadgets off instead of having them on standby.

With this voluminous release of skins for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux we want to bring attention to the topic in the community and hope to make you think more about the issue and your own ecological footprint.

We hope this project will reach a lot of people. If you want to help us by writing an article, blog entry or an interview feel free to contact us!
Gaia 2008 has been awarded by several organizations and featured on Behance.

Join this project

We are currently looking for artists, musicians and writers to join our team! So come over and join this project for a great cause!

Every Woman…

Not much happening at the moment so I thought I would post one of my favorite pieces by fellow vector artist and partner in crime, Bucket’o'Thought.

The image was printed and made into a multi-layer stencil using transparent sticker sheets and a scalpel.
