Despite the pandemic relaxing its grip a bit (in the States, at least), I’m still a full-time dad. I’ve taken very few paying gigs in the last 14 months. I look forward to the fall, when I expect to return to my work in earnest. Still, the studio isn’t totally fallow now.
I recently created 17 hybrid illustrations (traditional water-based media meets digital) for Hover Pictures, a production company based in Oakland and NYC. The illustrations are used in a film highlighting the work of Ecosystem Investment Partners, a private equity firm that acquires, restores, and manages properties that generate wetland, stream, and endangered species mitigation credits. Mitigation credits are similar to carbon credits; they’re used to offset ecological losses associated with development projects by providing for the preservation and restoration of a different area. These credit programs have their critics, but they’re also a critical tool for regional land trusts as well as global conservation nonprofits like the Nature Conservancy or Audubon Society.
