Wonderfully creative, uniquely compelling and thoughtfully conceptual. Just a few reasons we are absolutely thrilled to welcome Drew Shannon to the incredibly talented group of illustrators here at i2i Art. A London, Ontario native currently based in Toronto, Drew is passionate about storytelling and draws inspiration from a variety of familiar situations and common encounters. Combining vibrant hues with a limited palette, Drew uses colour to lead the eye through their illustration, making connections and building a narrative for the viewer to follow. While playing with perspective and incorporating loads of lovely texture to balance out his artwork and add depth.
Working digitally, characters are often larger than life. Balancing unique angles, fluid lines and bold shapes to produce sometimes exaggerated and wildly entertaining illustration. Drew taps into the personal nature of each assignment, inspired to share meaningful stories. With relatable content and a dash of humour, Drew’s work is invariably appealing. Whether the assignment is about a road trip through time or dancing for better health, it’s hard not to smile while perusing his portfolio. Even when addressing more serious topics such as, miscarriage or housing and immigration, Drew’s conceptual approach is thoughtful and sensitive.
A visual problem solver and communicator, Drew thrives off collaboration and idea-sharing. Each project is an opportunity for creative minds to come together, tell a story, develop characters and execute new ideas. With a knack for finding innovative solutions, they welcome a challenge and excel at developing the perfect visuals for complex concepts. This collaborative mindset and eager attitude makes Drew a dream to work with.
