Happy "Roy" Halladays

Merry Belated Christmas and/or Merry Belated Holidays! Above was a piece I did for the Financial Post last week. The idea was about how strong the oil markets will be in 2011. The piece is a little more detailed than what I usually do. I'm trying to explore more line work thats a bit more developed vs the simplified cartoon way. In other news my website has been completely revamped! Thanks to my good friend and 3D allstar Steve Huynh for all the help. More to come!

Check out the site at www.juansolon.com let me know what you guys think!

The Scientist Illustrations

Oh hey you there, yeah...YES YOU, hey whats up? nice shirt. Here's some new illustrations for The Scientist Magazine. I was really excited when I first got the assignment.Partly because this was the first project I've dealt with in the medial genre and it was a nice change of pace.

The article is about certain factors that when combined form complex diseases in the body. You can read more about it here!!. I was asked to do the equation illustrations in a type style like I did in this image. I did those awhile back so the challenge was to incorporate the text style into how I make images now. I'm really pleased how it turned out and had a lot of fun with these illustrations.





Another challenge was simplifying the organs to make them easy to look at. I felt keeping the organs basic and flat would make them less raw than what they actually look like (which is not pretty when starting at pictures of organs all day). Thanks to Ash for an awesome project!

Now back to reading A Clash of Kings...YES
