\nCHARACTERS FOR TOLLHOUSE COOKIES
\nI was recently commissioned to create and illustrate eight holiday characters for the Nestl\u00e9 Tollhouse cookie range by Sterling Brands in New York. So picking up my trusty pencil, before I even switched on a single pixel, I began to sketch out a few dozen variations of these eight, traditional holiday characters.
\nThese were then scanned and emailed for approval to the 17th floor of the Empire State building – they wouldn’t pay the airfare for personal delivery!
\nIt will be no surprise to learn that Photoshop was employed yet again to illustrate the final art.
\nThey all seemed to be very well received but the Santa remains my favourite. I think I have now illustrated his cheerful face around 6 times or so for products such as electric cookers, pyramidal shaped chocolate bars, greetings cards, carpets and now American cookies! Maybe one day they should all have a roll call together.
\nThese are the first four charcters plus a close up of Santa.
\nIt was suggested that I might have a bit more ‘chat’ on my blog, so was that OK Julie?
