PixArt: December Feature II – Carl Claus

December 20, 2012 by Jerrod Maruyama 4 Comments

What’s not to love about this fantastic Holiday-themed Up illustration from artist Keith Frawley? This super talented New York-based artist has a real passion for character-based storytelling. Take a look at his website – it’s packed with terrific character designs and illustrations for a wide variety of clients across several industries. After the break, take a closer look at his great artwork and read more about him in his own words!

I consider my hometown to be…

My Favorite Pixar Movie is …
Up is my favorite Pixar movie and also ranks in my top 5 favorites of all-time.

My Favorite Pixar character is…
Dug. I could listen to him all day.

Tell us about your piece:
The character transformation Carl under goes is very much like that of Ebenezer Scrooge. Instead of a visit from the Three Ghosts of Christmas, Carl goes on an adventure with an overly helpful 8 year old boy, a talking dog and a near-extinct mother bird. By the end of the story, Carl’s zest for life has returned and that is just what I’ve tried to capture in my illustration.

Who/What inspires you?
The wild imagination of children, my family, Charles Schultz, George Herriman, music, challenges and daydreams.

Recommend something, anything to our readers:
Make your own luck. Do at least one thing everyday towards realizing your goals.

Shameless self-­‐promotion:
There is nothing more satisfying in illustration than bringing characters to life and watching them flourish (figuratively speaking of course). I am available to create illustrations & designs for children’s media, educational products, mobile apps or whatever your project may entail. I’ve worked with agencies, publishers, and clients from across the spectrum of industry.
