Quentin Frost – Artwork

Experimentation is the key to growth, and just as it is in lighting and composition, the same can be said for any art form.  With luck and patience, one informs the others.

I do a lot of various forms of art, and so I gave the subject it’s own page.  I am about to dive into oils, so again, growing.  What follows below is a small cross-section of media and projects I’ve done.  

The smiling woman above here is Cassandra Peterson, otherwise known as Elvira.  This portrait is now in her personal collection.

I did a portrait of Roman Polanski directing his first film, The Fearless Vampire Killers.  It’s now in his home in Paris, as I traded it to him for a signature on the vintage poster from the same film.  Needless to say, that poster has been linen-backed and archivally framed.

Generally when I decide to do something, it gets done.  It might take awhile, but I’m pretty determined.  To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum, “Q”….finds a way.  – Quentin

I wanted to work in some quick color studies, so I made a series of stickers referencing film characters.

Because you can never have too many hobbies, I collect and restore pinball machines.  Often the artwork on these machines is done in many different styles.  So I choose to created companion artwork in the same style as these different machines.

I also do storyboarding, and have done so for several of the game studios where I was in charge of the cinematography.  These select frames are from a personal project, and are finished to a degree far more than we need for production purposes.  Storyboarding in games is useful when the levels aren’t ready yet, to direct the animation and audio needs before cinematics gets the assets we need.  In larger studios, this would be handled by an editorial department.

Have you gotten a sense that I don’t sit still much?  Again, it’s all narrative media.  I’ll leave you with a series of gifs I did harkening back to my childhood, watching thunderstorms role in and marveling at the sheer beauty of nature.
