Ghost Line concept 2

2012-01-30T10:38:00.000-08:00

For anyone who's confused by the title, this is just for a personal graphic novel I'm developing at the moment.

2012-01-08T22:28:00.000-08:00

This is probably my favorite piece I have done so far.

Ghost Line update

2012-01-05T20:35:00.000-08:00

This is a small preview of some concept work I'm doing for the story.... I probably should have done that before I started doing pages.... oh well. And below is another page. You can find all the Ghost Line stuff collected on one tumblr, here

framed art turned into a lamp

2012-01-03T13:59:00.000-08:00

Here's something I made with one of my pictures. I found a thick frame from Ikea, which had a bit of space for light to be dispersed between the back end of the frame and the artwork itself. LED lights weren't the greatest choice, because I had to glue a whole bunch of dollar store mirrors to reflect more light. The result is a bit.... spotty, but still kind of cool. Especially in a dark room.

Happy Holidays everyone :)

2011-12-20T17:32:00.000-08:00

this is a concept for another story I'm slowly developing.

Khrushchev, Kennedy & Castro

2011-12-11T19:09:00.001-08:00

just a project I've been working on, exploring different styles.

more masks

2011-12-08T15:27:00.001-08:00

some stuff, mainly experimenting. Big thanks to Scott Forbes for enlightening me with his skills.

Laminate Most Wanted

2011-12-06T16:42:00.000-08:00

I did this piece for the Laminate Most Wanted contest.... and now it's up here, so if you like this, you can vote, if not... there's a ton of other really cool art needing your votes!

studies

2011-12-03T18:24:00.001-08:00

some studies done from videos. Also, I updated the Ghost Line blog.

masked 2

2011-11-28T12:14:00.001-08:00

Here's another one in the "masked" concept series. I hope to do more.

Masked 1

2011-11-23T13:39:00.001-08:00

so here's the full thing. A little dark and eerie; the next one based around the same concept is much brighter, though. I just wanted to see how much I could make it glow.... I was actually inspired by this ancient Soviet Union filmstrip projector that I have, which projects children's stories one page, or slide, at a time. It's really cool sitting in a dark room with these huge projections on the wall. Below are some crappy photos that I took:

preview

2011-11-21T15:40:00.001-08:00

A small preview of something I'm working on. A lot of my work looks so dark and grim.... I'll have to lighten up at some point.

tumblr update

2011-11-17T15:37:00.001-08:00

I've posted the entire first 10 pages of Ghost Line on my tumblr (just the line art). The "Ghost Line" link in the menu on the right now directs there. More coloured pages to come soon.

Playing around with an idea... these are just experiments.

Ghost Line

2011-11-11T20:42:00.001-08:00

I made a tumblr site here solely devoted to the "Ghost Line" story where I'll be posting all the artwork. Here's a peak at the first coloured page. Those strings coming out of each person's head is what the "ghost line" is.... but they're not puppets....... more to be revealed later :)

A friend said it looks like it's about human trafficking... I leave it up to you to decide.

a preview of page 10. I haven't had that much time to work on this, hopefully soon I'll be able to upload some coloured pages and more exploratory work.

This was a gift for my mom. I think I'm going to go back to acrylic paint.... I enjoy it far too much.

Bed Time Stories

2011-09-29T18:40:00.000-07:00

Here's a new variation (the top) on an old idea. I wanted to see how much further I could push the concept and stage it in a more interesting way.

the first is a rejected page mockup for a book, and the second is my anxiety about the rejection. all is good!

"Ghost Line" preview

2011-09-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

the first 3 of 8 pages from my story "Ghost Line". Still needs color, text and some other important elements.
the rest can be seen here: http://annabron.com/sequential-projects/ghost-line/
I hope you enjoy.

2011-09-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

Here's a cover that I did for a small literary magazine, A Cappella Zoo. The illustration is based

on an interior story about French people's love for garden gnomes.

Captain America

2011-08-31T12:18:00.000-07:00

Here's a commission I did for Kris Anka (who can do super heroes better than me) of Captain America and Black Widow. Hopefully my ignorance of super hero characters doesn't show through too much.

My friend Scott did a gorgeous colouring test for one of the panels.

2011-08-08T19:39:00.000-07:00

this is going to be a weekly webcomic in an unusual format. Once I have title, I will start putting it up, piece by piece each week. I won't say anything more about it right now.

"ghost line" page

2011-08-05T19:17:00.000-07:00

small rough preview of one page for the graphic novel. I don't know what will be of the story. The plan is to prepare a pitch as well as a few pages, and pray that someone will like it enough to publish.

ghost line color test

2011-07-25T17:02:00.000-07:00

the first was a color test for a comic panel. the second was just an experiment inspired by greek vases.... i think i'll do more pieces like that. I like how haunting it looks.

Chalk from Anna Bron on Vimeo.

Here's the short group film I made while at Disney. It was our task to make a short with 2D and 3D together. It's not the most compelling idea, but with only 4 weeks of actual production time (including 3D modeling, rigging, texture, lighting...), we decided to keep it very simple.

another illustration in a series I'm doing. This one is based on an old Russian rhyme my mom sang to me all of my childhood. It was a warning about not sleeping on the edge of the bed or you'd get bitten by a wolf.
