If these Scott MacDonald creations were featured on a regular television series, I would not hesitate to tune in. With eclectic apparel that communicates the personalities of each character, MacDonald already has me imagining the hilarity that would ensue by mixing these quirky individuals. It really speaks volumes about MacDonald’s talent as an artist as he can readily convey so much information about a person through clothing, anatomical proportions, expressions and hairdo choices.
Scott MacDonald is a Halifax-based designer and animation artist. His cartoonish brand of illustrating has been gracing the products of animation studios for almost ten years. He often illustrates individuals with obscenely large heads with stick-skinny, stilt-like legs. It’s a wonder how his subjects can even stand, but that only adds to the fun of his wacky character creations.
