Good morning! Here are a couple of professional ladies grabbing coffee, drawn for EQ Bank, of course. #illustration

New for Harvard Business Review! A rather tricky-to-illustrate piece about a funeral company executive struggling to determine if the company should pivot to a cremation-based business model. #illustration

More EQ Bank art! This was another piece that was inspired by a staff member. We weren't worrying about exact likenesses or anything, and usually just going off of a Linked-In profile picture, so we could add elements like hair style or glasses that would act as a nod to a real member of their team.

Good morning! Here's another piece of EQ Bank art I did for the brand refresh, broker and client. Many of the figures depicted in the EQ illustrations are based on staff members of the bank, these two included. #illustration

Good morning! Here's an illustration of a couple of vacationers for EQ Bank (or maybe they're traveling retirees). Thumbnail sketch also, back when we thought we might be putting swatches of colour behind each illustration. #illustration

Super excited to launch this new Canadian Coin! Read about designing a coin on the Mint's website. So many layers - also it glows in the dark!

Good morning! Here's another EQ Bank illustration from the recent portfolio update. #illustration

Have you ever not composed a sketch very well because you thought it was your least successful concept but then submitted it anyway and then had it selected instead of all your more carefully composed sketches and then been forced to finish what you improperly started?

Good morning!

One of the EQ Bank illos in my recent portfolio update that never got posted here. Backpackers! I think this was used in email newsletters, but I can't be 100% sure. If anyone banks with EQ and has that email, let me know! Final and the rough, tiny sketch below. #illustration

Website update! joribolton.com Put up a bunch of those EQ Bank brand illustrations. #illustration

One figure drawing master hosting another figure drawing master! Check it out if you're in the area. I would if I was!

Another one for Harvard Business Review, on inspired leadership. Thanks AD: Carey Bass. #mammals #whale #wildlife #illustration #art

I'm getting to work traditionally for an assignment for the first time in ages (pen & ink) and it is such a joy (also terrifying and I'm so rusty—but traditional media is so satisfying to work with!)

Hey I have an illu in this! 🙃 Worked on this about a year ago and remember being quite outside of my comfort zone. Scenes with multiple characters and detailed background are still not my strong suit but I really enjoyed working on it and got to paint the same dagger again this year as a spot!

I have a piece in this—my first dragon! #illustration #art #shadowrun #ttrpg

Trying to remake that great cup of coffee

The secondary illo for the HBR Performance Improvement Plans Case Study. I've never worked in a corporate environment, but those PIPs sound ✨uncomfortable✨. #illustration

Happy #PortfolioDay again! I'm also Jori, the fantasy/scifi/cyberpunk illustrator. Hoping to include more of the "fantasy" genre in this portfolio, but who has the time! Right now I do lots of work for Catalyst Game labs and the Shadowrun IP. #illustration

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Jori, a Canadian illustrator, and I do conceptual editorial, fashion, lifestyle and corporate work. #illustration

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Alena, a freelance illustrator who loves painting things with character, capturing little story moments. Working mainly - but not only - in card/board games & book covers. Take a look at what I do at www.ajinak.cz 🎨

Hey #portfolioday!! I'm a digital artist who creates commissioned art for #startrek #fanfiction projects - Had some wonderful opportunities to help out some fantastic folk and love to help others with their projects - even happy to jump star franchises ;) Thanks so much!

New for Harvard Business Review "Case Study: Should a CHRO Abandon Performance Improvement Plans?" It's about these PIPs, which if I'm understanding, are documents put together for struggling employees with goals/criteria/feedback which can be used to help or to provide paper trail for termination.

Notifications on LinkedIn feel like gaslighting.

This one's from last year, but I felt like a repost. "How To Make Being Alone Work For You" for the Mr Porter Journal. #illustration #art #editorialillustration

More hands for EQ Bank! Original -> then two versions as used in different contexts on the site (or in the app, I don't know for sure). #illustration #branding #art

More brand illos for EQ Bank. Hands! Original -> In-context (with design done in-house by EQ Bank)

More EQ Bank art! Some friends helping each other up a bar graph. First is original, second is in context. #illustration #branding

Taking a trip to the past building some MtG decks with friends from a random selection only Revised cards. My first cards were from Seventh Edition, so a long way after this, but I'm loving these exploring early cards. #magic #mtg

Auctioning an acrylic painted artist proof to benefit the Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline. A little nod to my love for Baldur's Gate 1! The opening bid is a steal vs my usual rate for original commissioned AP painting. app.auctria.com/Redirect/bd2...

Little website update! Freshening up that news roll with some not-quite-so-old-art. joribolton.com #illustration

Post an old illustration you still like 🌳

Friends helping each other up the graph for EQ Bank. This was one of the last ones we did before we settled into the white/yellow/off-white scheme seen in the edited version. First is the original, then the edit, then the piece in-context. #illustration #branding

Ladder climbing folks for EQ Bank. It was fun drawing different outfits for the figures in this series. My comfort zone for drawing clothes is a tucked-in button-up, black slacks, and Oxfords, so anything else is an adventure. First is original, second is in context. #illustration #branding

Fella on a phone for EQ Bank. Tap tap. First is original. Second is in-context. #illustration #branding

I think this is the most enduring piece I ever made. Made back in 2nd or 3rd year of college, and it circulated around a bit and got memed a few times. Originally for an assignment where we were tasked to eavesdrop on strangers' conversations, then illustrate a snippet of dialogue out of context.

This is so cool! Love Bradstreet's art in that book.

The accompanying quarter-page illustration for the dynamic pricing case study piece. #illustration #art #editorial
