Wow, okay, this is a bit embarrassing... It's been one of those months to say the least. Sometimes no news is good news, and thats definitely been the case of the state of the blog lately, as work has just been coming out of all orifices, and we are just catching our breath. This doesn't come without its fair share of amazing news though...
First off, if you haven't been to the main site in awhile, you may have noticed some changes... We have some new big birds with us, which is supremely exciting all around. Please welcome the new additions to the JW family:

While it is true that some birds have indeed flown the coop, some are simply hibernating, and will be making a very special appearance in an exciting new Agency venture which will be announced in a few weeks, so stay tuned.
In addition, most folios have been updated on the site, including some really exciting new projects such as:

Jacky Winter Artist Karl Kwasny makes the front page of this morning's 'The Australian' newspaper for his just released agitator artwork wrap for Boral:
boral01
A big shout-out the wonderful folks at Brave New World in Sydney who thought up and commissioned the piece, and a bigger shout out to the even braver people over at Boral for getting on board with the idea to begin with!
This was a really fun job to work on, especially with CD Yanni Pounartzis and Head of Art Guy Collins on board. With a clear brief that included ample reference of both Karl's work and other inspiration, it was refreshing for Karl to be able to go wild with it. Seeing Karl take things from an initial pencil sketch to the final was very inspiring, and with the permission of Brave, I am posting some of the stops that we made along the way. Enjoy!
First Pencil from Karl
Refined pencil sketch on dieline for vinyl wrap. For the vinyl application, the entire drum had to be split into a left and right hand side. Another thing to consider would be that these would be rotating, therefore type was only to appear on one side.
Here we can see both sides of the artwork in a refined sketch, along with a nominated colour palette to begin finals.
Initial Colouring. Whoa!
The colours taken down a notch. It was important to have the corporate Boral colours of Green and Yellow present.
Named after a native Australian Robin that shares its initials with its founder, The Jacky Winter Group connects a broad range of contemporary Australian illustrators with an diverse international and local client base.
Like the call of the bird itself (a clear two-note whistle of "Peter-peter-peter" repeated over and over), The Jacky Winter Peter-Peter will feature agency-specific news, as well as aim to be a general industry resource.
For regular updates, be sure to sign up for the peter-peter newsletter, or simply subscribe to our RSS feed.
Complete folios, and information on our shop and upcoming gallery can be found on the main Jacky Winter site.
