Paul Gill joins Brian Dunaway, Joel Duggan and Matthew Ducharme to talk about The Drawbridge, Illustrations, Animation and Video Games!
| About the artist: |
| https://paulgill.com/about |
| an Illustrator/Animator living in Vancouver, BC. I was born here and have been drawing since I was just a kid. Inspired by all the cartoons, books and comics I could get my eyes on, I was dedicated to becoming a professional artist. |
| About the work: |
| In 1998 I went to Vancouver Film School where I graduated in the Classical Animation program. From there I worked randomly throughout animation studios in town, but wanted to do more of my ‘own’ work. I started practicing illustration and animation on my own over the next few years to create a portfolio that would help me get freelance work. |
| In 2003 I enrolled in the Illustration and Design program at Capilano University and graduated in 2005. I immediately found myself as an artist in the video game industry working for Electronic Arts. At this point I had been making a name for myself with my freelance work and had been getting many projects through Wasserman + Partners in Vancouver, leading to the extremely well received “Don’t Mess With Karma” ad campaign, of which I am still a part of today. |
| I’m currently a Marketing Artist at a mobile game company called A Thinking Ape as my day job. |
| But when I get home, it’s all illustration. |
| Where to find: Social media links, etc. |

| After graduating from Vancouver Film School what kind of market was out there for a classical animator in 1998? |
| You returned to school at Capilano University in 2003. What did the really real world teach you about for your second round of schooling? |
| What is The DrawBridge? |
