In the age of Covid, social interaction is mainly done virtually these days. So to celebrate my good friend’s birthday, I created a gif invite for a birthday happy hour.

I hand-drew the clock elements in pencil and then filled it in with black ink. Once that was done, I imported it in illustrator to make it all vector and so I can manipulate the colors. I wanted to incorporate 2-3 colors only and because my drawings tend to have that cross-hatch style/ol’ school vibe, I wanted the black outline to pop with the bright colors. Much like those screen printed rock posters. This was so fun to animate and awesome to have it come to life!
