Timeouts are lightning-quick interviews, five questions to help you get to know the players holding court at Dribbble. Thanks to Mitch for being today’s interviewee.
Who are you? Let us know where you hail from and what you do.
Hello! My name’s Mitch Blunt and I am an illustrator working predominantly for newspapers and magazines. I’m originally from Hastings, England (as in The Battle of) but currently my wife and I are living in Germany.
What are you working on?
At the moment I‘m currently working on a couple of longer projects which will be interesting because I’m lucky if I get longer than three days to work on something usually. I’ll also probably juggle some fast-paced jobs here and there to mix things up when I can.
Choose a favorite shot of yours. Why is it a favorite?
I chose this because it’s an example of an experiment that’s bringing a few different processes together and it reminds me to push myself creatively.
Tell us about your setup. What tools did you use to create the shot (e.g. hardware, software, pens, paper, blowtorch)?
My setup is probably quite typical. I have one standing desk for computer work and one drawing desk where I can make lots of mess. I’ve also been using more hand-drawn elements and found imagery in my work lately. This shot is a good example of that as I used my original drawing, some collage techniques and my computer to create it.
Choose a favorite shot from another Player. Why do you dig it?
This shot is by my friend Matt Hollister who is based in Seattle. All of his work is solid but this piece reminds me of when we hung out there last year and enjoyed some of his favourite spots.
