Last year I was asked to illustrate 3 characters for ABC Adventures Compass Kids Series. The characters consisted of an African American Boy, an Caucasian Girl and a Monster. Originally, they were only going to introduce each chapter and some of the games inside the books. I was thrilled to hear that the publisher liked the characters so much that I was chosen to illustrate the covers as well as represent the series. In total, I illustrated the 3 book covers and 12 character poses. Each book comes with a DVD in which a child can choose one of the characters to learn and play with. Overall, I loved working with the publishers and the printing turned out great for all of the books!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-49505900733315988252014-10-06T11:46:00.000-04:002014-10-06T11:46:53.855-04:00Catapult Learning Book Series<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7PyfY22-SlbQYSz1gQwcYxBoR0fwsm1gFzLV6wyKYyWCjBAvSm-51j2wp94LobIEeKbCRX46vHKzVJ9hyX47psAVEzeaOHg2ViW60eVBg3_z5hl49ldKAdrsJCJhVm948xBxcP9CSOSc/s1600/jason_dove_illustration_read_up_01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7PyfY22-SlbQYSz1gQwcYxBoR0fwsm1gFzLV6wyKYyWCjBAvSm-51j2wp94LobIEeKbCRX46vHKzVJ9hyX47psAVEzeaOHg2ViW60eVBg3_z5hl49ldKAdrsJCJhVm948xBxcP9CSOSc/s400/jason_dove_illustration_read_up_01.png" /></a></div>

Last year was a super busy year for me. This is just one of many projects I was working on.
<br></br>
As many of you know, I work full time as a Senior Designer/Illustrator at American Greetings during the day and at night, I work freelance. Which means, sleep is a side note most of the year…or at least when there is freelance.
<br></br>
Anyway…my agent was contacted by Trillium Publishing in regards to a multi book series for Catapult Learning's Read Up series.
What you see above is just a small sampling of the work I did for them. In total, I illustrated 4 short stories and one, 24 page book. The first image is from the short story "Clover and the Pond Monster." The second image is from another short story called "Quentin's Park Mystery." The rest come from the 24 page book "Partners in the Park." Over all this was quite a challenge but I have to admit that I am happy with how they turned out and hope all of you agree.

I know it seems weird posting Halloween images in February but, I have been crazy busy since November with my full time job at American Greeting and part time job freelancing.<br />
This promo consisted of 12 designs in all. I am only posting the images I worked on. Being an Illustrator for American Greeting means that you have to be able to replicate a lot of techniques and styles. Well, maybe you don't have to have a lot of techniques and styles but, it definitely makes you a more valuable resource.<br />
As for the technique, I used Photoshop with traditionally painted textures. I shared these textures with the other artist working on this promo so, the technique kept a visually consistency throughout all of the designs.<br />
As for the style, the character's are a little more edge than I normally illustrate but, I like changing things up from time to time.<br />

<br />
A little over a year ago, my agent approached me with an opportunity to develop some characters for<br />
the Hyland’s 4 Kids line. I was told that I would have to compete with other artist for the job. I find that this is common with many of my bigger project opportunities.<br />
<br />
When I first started the project, My test was to create 2 animal characters (a cheetah and a penguin) along with 2 kid characters in my highly rendered technique.<br />
I was told they wanted to explore both options to see which direction to take. I was so excited to hear I was the artist chosen to finish the project and have my characters represent Hyland's Inc.<br />
<br />
As for the winning character, they chose the boy with the stuffed teddy bear. They felt that these characters related more with Moms (their main consumer) compared to the cheetah and penguin characters. <br />
<br />
Hyland’s has graciously given me the approval to post the 2 animal characters that were not choose for this project. What you see above is exactly how I presented the final artwork to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you would like to find out more about the Hyland’s 4 Kids line and/or explore some of the fun activity pages featuring my characters, chek out their site <a href="http://www.hylands.com/4kids" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I really had a great time working on this project and hope that I have more opportunities like this come my way in the future.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-21058092124454836702013-08-21T12:47:00.000-04:002013-08-21T12:49:21.267-04:00Laws for Kids<br />

This is a 12 page book I created for Reading A-Z.<br />
<br />
They Specialize in publishing digital books that teachers can download in their classrooms and give to the kids to take home to practice reading.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
This particular book focuses on safety. It was written by Maribeth Boelts.<br />
<br />
As for the technique, I was asked to work in a vector format. I created the illustrations using Adobe Illustrator CS5. I was also asked to create two versions of the book. One in color and the other in black and white. This gives the teachers and students the option of printing the book out with full or limited color.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
I have included only a few of the 12 pages along with a character breakdown image of my thoughts as I designed the characters.</div>

This card is currently out in all Target stores.<br />
<br />
It was created for a two year old birthday. I have indicated were the number two was to be placed on the card. The card, had 2 finishings...hot stamp and flocking. The flocking is a soft fuzzy material that was placed over the fur. What you see is the artwork underneath. The number two was in a Purplish Hot Stamp (Metal Like Material).<br />
<br /><br />
Next time your in Target check it out.<br />

Yep, she's back!
<br />
<br />
My agent recently requested each of us to send her 250 postcards so she could send them out for possible work. As soon as I received the email, I knew that this character was perfect.
<br />
My 3 little girls absolutely loved this character so much, when I designed her for the email blast; that I decided I would finish her for the postcard promotional.
I based the character off of my oldest daughter Natalie, who is 9 years old. As for a lot of the elements in the room, I based the objects off of each of my girls belongings.
<br />
Every now and then while I was working on this piece, one of them would come up to me and say "hey that's my whatever." I love incorporating special little things like that in my work.
<br />
I am really happy with how everything turned out and hope that everyone who see's it feels the same.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-66139528889479316782013-04-29T12:16:00.000-04:002016-12-30T22:41:57.631-05:00Email Promotional<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixziEDPj6Z80Yc0G9q4gDFf0X5k9SUXja2vGjv21PYw5q7EEEsTcT56uA4r-ByRW_kkx3ELNU5vLFdTCeQWiYFLyE8M_zNfgY1_mn_Au1ztqR68Zlp2v30BzUDTcS4UHlKr5zAqHqQ2g/s1600/jason_dove_email_promotional.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixziEDPj6Z80Yc0G9q4gDFf0X5k9SUXja2vGjv21PYw5q7EEEsTcT56uA4r-ByRW_kkx3ELNU5vLFdTCeQWiYFLyE8M_zNfgY1_mn_Au1ztqR68Zlp2v30BzUDTcS4UHlKr5zAqHqQ2g/s320/jason_dove_email_promotional.png" width="320" height="320" /></a></div>

Every now and then, my agent ask me to participate in a group email blast.
<br></br>
This time she requested that each of us to create a 3x3 illustration of a characters head and shoulders.
She said it could be human or animal, our choice.
<br></br>
As I looked through my files for inspiration, I noticed that I rarely draw girls, even though I have 3 daughters who fill my life with so much happiness.
<br></br>
As for the design, I had a lot of fun, just focusing on the face of the character. I wanted the image to look like a school photo.

I know this theme is a little girly but, hey...it's for Mother's Day. You can find this card series in all Target Stores.
<br />
I created the pieces using Adobe Illustrator, which is a big deal for me considering I self taught myself the program.
Granted, the learning curve for illustrator is no where near as complex as Photoshops but, it still has it's difficulties.
Learning Illustrator has been a goal for me for some time. I have always and still use Photoshop's Shape Layers/Paths for most of my work but, now that I have a good grasp on illustrator, I plan on using it when it makes the most sense for the job I am asked to do.
<br />
I hope everyone checks the card series out the next time they are at Target and that they enjoy them as much as I had creating them.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-70052482965634757362012-12-19T18:30:00.001-05:002012-12-19T18:30:18.330-05:00Christmas Bear<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is my favorite design for this years Christmas. I believe you can find this card at American Greetings Walmart Stores.
<br></br>
As for the design: I used a different method for creating the fur for the bear and the fur for the Santa Hat then I usually do. I love experimenting with different approaches when it come to technique. I also like to pushing myself to finding quicker ways to achieve this highly rendered look.

I was asked to create this baby card theme for American Greetings. I had a lot of fun experimenting with different color combinations and textures. I usually work on more highly rendered or animated styles so, this was a nice change.

This is my favorite Halloween Design for this year.
<br>
As part of my job, I get the opportunity to created what American Greetings calls "innovation" or "up front art." What this means is, that I can create greeting card illustrations with little to no direction. Yeah! Artistic Freedom!!!
<br>
However, sometime the coolest stuff never gets used. And everyone outside of American Greetings will never get to see it. There are many of these pieces, I would love to post but, until they are used in product, they will not see the light of day.
<br>
This design however, is not one of those.
<br>
My idea was to create a kids design that used one of my favorite monsters, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. It is a monster that is rarely illustrated here at American Greetings and I have been dying to have the opportunity to work on it. I chose my highly rendered technique. It takes a lot longer to create the artwork using this technique but, I love it. I have been trying to get better at understanding of dramatic lighting in my work and this was the perfect opportunity. Overall, I am really happy with how everything turned out. I used Adobe Photoshop CS5 to create this piece but, did not use any of 3d features. I have been working with the 3d capabilities in Photoshop but, because of their limitations I haven't created anything with it yet.

Being a Senior Designer/Illustrator at American Greetings is so much fun. I have worked there full time for 8 years now. I have had the chance to work with every department on some type of project.
<br>
The season I look for most as an illustration stand point is Halloween. The color palettes we are assigned, work so well together, unlike many of the other Hollidays.
<br>
For this series, I was asked to create these 6 designs. Some had rolly eyes, others crystaline/glitter, and so on. I had fun creating each one and look forward to using this technique further down the road.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-29745069359885115792012-09-13T18:07:00.001-04:002012-09-13T18:07:10.079-04:00Haunted House<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a 3d lenticular card I created for American Greetings. I had blast playing with textures, patterns and lighting. I used Adobe Photoshop CS5 to created the illustration. I did not use any 3d software to create this piece. I hope all of youlike it as much as I do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-48717770649978213222012-09-06T17:55:00.003-04:002012-09-06T17:55:59.919-04:00All Aboard<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a Grandparent's Day card I created for Target. It is currently out in stores.
<p>
Many of you who have checked out my work in the past may recognize this character. This is the third time I have used this hamster character for American Greetings. To see previous versions of this character, just click back in my history and you'll find other designs using him in different situations. I did however, update the hair on this version. I have made leaps and bounds with this technique since the first hamster character was created.
<p>
As for the design itself, I also had a lot of fun playing with the dramatic lighting on the character and his environment. I also liked having to figure out the the lights reflection coming off of the briefcases computer screen and reflecting on the keys and ground. You can really see this on the detail images bellow.
I also hid a few personal things in the art. One is the numbers in the lower right. Yep, it's my birthday. The 2nd is, I included the American Greetings Rose icon on the buttons next to the space bar. I know it is minor but, I love adding those little details.

This is a card I created a while ago. I never had a chance to see the printed version. Which would explain why I haven't posted it until now.
This was to be a 3D card that included its own glasses that you could punch out and wear. The 3D glasses were placed on the top third of the card (which would explain the space above the characters.) I had a lot of fun creating the characters, especially the ones in movement. Anything that artistically challenges me is a bonus. It is the only way we get better as artist and learn new ways to approach things.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-53013861145920401292012-08-05T14:51:00.002-04:002012-08-05T15:06:05.257-04:00Target Back To School Promo<b>Cover:</b>

This is one of my favorite greeting card promos. It all developed from the racoon card bellow. I was asked to create this as a single card but, because American Greetings liked it so well they pitched it to Target as an endcap theme. Abviously, they went with it. When I began the project it was clear that I would not be able to finish all of the designs myself. I was asked to select another illustrator that I thought could work with me to mimic the look and style. I suggested <a href="http://stalemuffin.blogspot.com/">Jason Miskimins</a>. He is a very good friend of mine who also works full time at American Greetings. He is a fantastic illustrator who can mimic just about anything. Above, you will see the original design with the racoon along with the rest of the designs I created. Go check them out the next time you are in Target!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-22126531804902034202012-08-05T14:04:00.001-04:002012-08-05T14:04:29.968-04:00Animal Cards With Fabric Ear Headbands<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This promo is currently out at Target and Walmart. I created these illustrations for American Greetings Invention Lab. Each card has fabric wrapped headband with the ears of the character on them. The ear headband is placed right over the characters ears, which means the cards are bigger in size. I love this idea and my 3 children have a blast with each of the designs.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-72257175544798403682012-05-16T18:39:00.000-04:002012-05-16T18:39:10.193-04:00Cover:

These images are from a Birthday Card that I created for American Greetings. It is for a pop up card. Most of the characters are very small on the card but, I created them at a much bigger size. I created all of the characters in Photoshop. The first image is the cover of the card without the lettering. I do not have the file with the completed letting. That is why there is space to the left of the monkey. I also did not include an image of the inside background art because it was made for the pop up and looked strange in it's flattened state. I hope you all like how they turned out.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-70671385037767059432012-01-23T19:38:00.007-05:002012-01-24T08:14:38.163-05:00Boy With Dog<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzN_3ts_uMviqf_CmCOXQ7fztAUhu9xXIGaZ_R2-oDA9VDU89U1vuB77mAQzt5GvX1AcDimolZ6CNDpbwM4b8fZqqsjNWLe0-Q34f_VRN4eXqD15u1krH0qwEP5jVk1nSSnrga9AhW-sQ/s1600/jason_dove_boy_with_dog.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzN_3ts_uMviqf_CmCOXQ7fztAUhu9xXIGaZ_R2-oDA9VDU89U1vuB77mAQzt5GvX1AcDimolZ6CNDpbwM4b8fZqqsjNWLe0-Q34f_VRN4eXqD15u1krH0qwEP5jVk1nSSnrga9AhW-sQ/s400/jason_dove_boy_with_dog.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700993011088592610" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />This piece was created as a promotional piece for my rep.<br /><br />Like I mentioned bellow in the Hermie piece. I do not like using photo textures in my illustrations unless I have too. I only used one on the wood floor in this piece, everything else was created using my custom Photoshop brushes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48782004729027900.post-39228709335749034882012-01-23T18:15:00.007-05:002012-01-24T08:15:46.074-05:00“Hermie the Crab Needs a Home”These illustrations are from my first children’s book “Hermie the Crab Needs a Home.” I was asked to illustrate 16 pages including the cover. It was given to me by a company called Wireless Generation, Inc.<br />A somewhat newer company that specializes in educational material.<br /><br />I had a lot of fun working on this book. It had a lot of new challenges, artistically and physically. That being said, I love new challenges.<br /><br />With this book, I did not use any photography in texturing the characters or in the background. I find that it is too much of a disconnect visually. That meant that I had to figure out how to create different techniques of creating textures.<br />I made most if not all of them by creating custom Photoshop brushes. I am really happy with how all of the illustrations turned out.
