Artists I like #11

Upon not having written a blog post in quite sometime, I'm now aiming to do one blog post a week. I most more often on my Instagram because of the ease and instant access.

Anyway, I've been meaning to do this artist for a while after seeing the adverts on television for a couple of years now. They're the adverts for TSB bank. 


I absolutely adore the illustrations in this advert, they're so bright and friendly. From just looking at the videos they seem to be watercolour painted stop frame animation. On the studios website, Studio AKA, it just states that they are hand crafted 2D animations. Doesn't let on too much how they were made but you can see within the clips the change in colours suggesting they were recreated frame by frame. They could also be just computer animated with the affect of watercolour but it's difficult to tell. 

Either way I think the illustrations are lovely but perhaps belong in a children's book rather than a bank advert!
