My most recent project took me into a new, unknown and unexpected territory. There was no motion design, no vfx, no gaming or interactivity involved. Just some machining and a whole lot of power tools.
I was invited to participate in the collaboration with Kiki’s Cocoa and ChiChiLand, to create a set of 27 exclusive chocolate sets accompanied by a block-printed bandana. Using official “agency terms” I guess I served as a technical director and craftsman. To put it simply – I used a combination of vector illustration, laser etching and wood shop tools to produce linoleum stamps based on the original designs by my Chi Michalski.
To avoid too much reposting, I invite you to visit chichiland.com see the finished Kiki’s Cocoa: Halloween Edition as well as an extensive behind-the-scenes making of this project.
If you are still on my site, here are some photos from the project (more in the links above).
