Character master Chris Wahl creates Emma
Chris Wahl loves coming up with characters for just about any purpose our client can imagine. This time he put down his usual box of Zombie, Ghoul, Bikini and Werewolf tools and mustered up all the sugar and spice he could find to create Emma, the friendliest, most approachable, helpful character we've seen from him yet. Click either below or the picture to the left to meet Emma.

Frantz Kantor masters his most ambitious medium yet
The best thing about working with 3 Drunk Monkeys is the concept behind the brief. Almost always they challenge us to solve a visual problem that we haven't enountered before.

Drawing Book Studios... lucky enough to have Jennifer Wills
It is with great excitement and anticipation for the future that The Drawing Book announces that Jennifer Wills is now a member of the team. It has been 2 years since we sowed the seed in Jennifer's mind that we'd love to have her and finally she has come aboard!
Jennifer brings to The Drawing Book over 6 years of Art Buying experience at DDB Sydney, as well as the time she spent working in image licensing before then. She has hands on experience from the client side of the Illustration industry and has spent many late hours encouraging our illustrators through tight timings and ambiguous briefs. She is cool as a cucumber under pressure, but posesses the firey belly of the astrological ram that makes great things happen where ever she chooses to apply herself.
Jennifer tells us she is excited about stepping onto a steep learning curve, but we feel the same in regards to the one she has already put us on.

Visually the 3 Drunk Monkeys wanted to reinforce that message by commissioning Bollywood style posters that would extol the game details just like Australians imagined the game might be promoted in India.
