David M. Buisán

I’ve seen video trailers as ads for books and comics before, but here’s something that’s new to me, and I think fairly original. Illustrator David M. Buisán has created a promo reel of sorts for his illustration portfolio, similar to an animator’s promo reel, but with static images set to music. It definitely makes the task of sifting through an artist’s body of work, and trying to decide which piece to share with you guys, far easier.

I think it’s a brilliant idea, and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more of this sort of thing. I’m certainly going to create one for my work.

    Illustration promo reel is a great idea.
    I saw the promo reel by Lois van Baarle (http://loish.net/) and I loved how she put illustrations along with video.
    I’d like to have one myself, but obviously I never find time to do it!

    Pretty cool, nicely edited together too.

    Sort of seen this done but never this well or purely for print style illustration.

    Not a bad idea :)

    Somewhat related, this reminded me of Daria !

    Portfolios on video have not been uncommon among Spanish-speaking illustrators since some time ago.Some other examples:

    Still,Buisán’s sure gets extra points for the small animated effects.

    Oh,by the way,last weekend I made one myself:

    i really like his style, the detailed works are lovely extensions of the modern comic ink style that’s popular now

    BUT

    the girl with all the shoes around her has two left feet – is that intentional? or just a really bad mistake.
