If you're looking for RPG art, hire Marie! Full scenes, character work, props, medieval fantasy, cyberpunk (she does work for the Shadowrun RPG), giant mechs (official Battletech art), she does it all! #illustration #rpg #fantasy

A triptych from a Domestika workshop called Narrative Landscape Illustration with Stencils and Acrylics, by Tom Haugomat. The idea of a wild animal sitting next to a trashcan appealed to me--so here is man's intersection with nature in the Arizona desert. #illustration #wildlifeart

Working on lots of new paintings to show/sell at TOAF this summer in Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto. Will share in the lead-up to July 10 weekend!

I think I write and delete posts as much as I actually make posts.

Illustrations from Renaissance Magazine's fitness column, "Wearable technology." #illustration

Portfolio update! Added in a couple of HBR and Mr Porter pieces. See here: joribolton.com

Good morning, Bluesky!

Secondary illustration for that HBR Case Study, "How Do I Come Back After a Career Break?" The character in the story has to choose between stepping into an old established company as a sort of senior intern, or taking a high-stakes role among young professionals in a startup. #illustration

Illustration for “Case Study: How Do I Come Back After a Career Break?” for Harvard Business Review, about a man returning to his career after being out of the field for a decade while caring for his daughter. I’m always grateful for art directors’ patience with my thumbnail pencil scratches.

Good afternoon, Bluesky! Here are some folks staying fit. Originally for Renaissance Magazine's Living Well: Fitness column. I illustrate the same cast of characters for their instructional fitness column every couple of months—closest thing I have to OCs. #illustration

Here's one for THIS Magazine on the invisibility of women's neurodivergence in Canada. As a neurodivergent baddie myself, let me tell you how much I enjoyed hand-drawing the wallpaper pattern haha. Thanks very much AD: Valerie Thai. #illustration

Anyone here play Magic? Anyone read the IDW TMNT series? Anyone do both of those and play the recent MTG TMNT set? I just did for the first time (Turtle Team-Up box), and I loved it. Also 100% relate to anyone that hates Universe Beyond, but I am a sucker for an appeal to my nostalgia. #magic #mtg

Here are tiny images of some of the EQ Bank drawings as posted on their site. I liked the collaborative experience of doing the drawings on my end, with them altering colour and background based on use. Drawings by me, colours and integration with the EQ yellow diamond by them. #illustration

10-minute figure paintings

Good morning, everyone! Btw you got this 💪

Good morning, Bluesky! What's everyone working on today? I'm drawing exercise diagrams for seniors and refining some Shadowrun sketches.

#portfolioday! I'm so late to the party. Almost forgot. I'm Jori! Canadian illustrator, and I... illustrate. #illustration

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

Reposting this beauty for #UnicornDay! #unicorn #nationalunicornday

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!)

Secondary illustration for the HBR Case Study, "When High-Tech Beauty Marketing Harms Teen Health." #illustration #editorialillustration #conceptualillustration

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.
