Con McHugh

It’s always tough trying to depict ‘togetherness’ (and avoiding drawing lots of people holding hands). Here are a few artworks that celebrate the dream team… Hopefully in a more unexpected way 👬👫 #animation #illustration #analog #framebyframe

No new work to show yet but heaps of exciting stuff in the locker! In the meantime, here’s a reshare of all the NYT Wirecutter bits to date 💙 #animation #illustration #minimal

Excited to finally reveal the animated event poster for @bristoljazzfest 2024! 🎷🎉 Last year I created a poster for the event as part of a demo project, so to be working on the official poster this year has been a dream. The pressure was on though, not only because this years’ event is set to be bigger than ever before, but also because last years’ poster got so much love. That’s why I decided to take a bit of a risk and go in a different direction with this one. I initially had two concepts, a safer option building on last years’ theme or this one. I had no idea how’d I’d put it all together when I started, but loved the idea of bringing mixed media to my illustrations and attempting something I hadn’t done before. I’m very proud of the final result! This year the festival is moving to the @tobacco_factory in Bedminster (My very own neighbourhood!), bringing some brilliant acts from all over the globe who’ll be hosting concerts, workshops, jam sessions, free stage and more. Tickets are on sale now at the link in our bio. Can’t wait to see you there. Who’s coming? Thanks to @renegadebrassband for allowing us to use their legendary track ‘the shakedown’ to this. You can hear them playing at the event. 👇Tickets now available, link in bio: @bristoljazzfest - Music: The Shakedown by @renegadebrassband ©️ Created in @procreate & procreate dreams Venue: @tobaccofactorytheatres #animation #illustration #Jazz #analog

I recently shared a case study for my work with Lego x Ted, for their upcoming conference on play and creativity. Take a look by following the link in my story. #illustration

A project that was built to move across poster, projection and identity, thinking less about one individual piece, and more about how an idea holds together across formats.

Found myself thinking back to this project from last year as I embark on a projection based bit of solo work. It might be one of my favourites of the year, despite having such a fast turnaround of about three weeks. Perhaps that’s the reason. I didn’t have time to overthink the approach, it was pretty much animate whatever comes to mind, as there was no time to concept. Commercial work in comparison doesn’t usually allow that way of working and so the work tends to look more polished, but perhaps lacks the spontaneity. I’m sure all you fellow artists can relate to the idea of pondering what your ‘style’ is; on a bad day that question can shut down your creativity completely. Though this particular project was one of those special ones where I didn’t have time to think ‘what does this look like’, the charm was in the improv. The process was the result ✨ Live jazz projections for @adriancoxmusic
