FX Emoji’s

Conceptualization / Motion / Illustration

The project of all projects to let me stretch my wings and create emoji, iMessage stickers for different FX shows. We started their entire lineup at the time, before whittling down to their top three shows: American Horror Story, Archer, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I conceptualized each sticker, created custom illustrations for those that needed them. There were even a few on some of the Archer stickers that required me to add back in a hand, or the bottom of a jacket in order to get the desired effect.

American Horror Story

One of my favorite shows to work on, because I was a fan of it before I ever started production. These were created with a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator, and animated in After Effects. Below are some of my favorites. Some were never made into official stickers, but they’re still fav’s.

Archer

Another incredible show. For this project, I was sometimes asked to show the bottoms of jackets, or include hands that simply weren’t in the frames I was working with. I duplicated the signature style and added back in those pieces by hand. Look closely … think you can spot what things I added back?

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

This show had a few typographic stickers included in the beginning phases, but those were mostly phased out in the final set, which you can download below. I had a lot of fun with this one exploring a more cartoonish / soft style of illustration as well. Below are a few of my favorites from this line.
