Fellman Studio Blog

Shown above on the left is “Eurasian Adam”, a DNA Portrait inspired by a member of the Sans Tribe (Bushmen) of South Africa. In the middle is a close up of the same eye. On the right is the preview mode in Illustrator showing the lines and shapes that define the eye, an example of what vector art looks like as a working file.

Fellman Studio and Gallery showcases illustration and Flash animation projects by me, Lynn Fellman. Although I work independently, I often collaborate with other talented freelancers on projects for corporations. I work two ways: with your team as artist and designer, and as a leader of my team of favorite writers and programmers. Either way, I work with you to develop your interactive and print projects. See the commercial projects on my site for examples.

I also show my science inspired art on my web site. Shown above is “Eurasian Adam”, one of many DNA Portraits based on population genetics. I have other science inspired digital images on 100% silk and paper that I print on my giclee printer. Visit my fine art page on my web site for more examples.

My Background

1987 is the year Adobe Illustrator arrived, curiously named “Illustrator 88″. I bought a copy the summer of ‘87 and I’ve been working as a digital vector artist ever since. To see the complexity of lines and shapes in a typical vector image, look at the example of the eye in the picture above.

Then in 1998, I got my hands on Flash 3, another vector program. What a delight to add motion to my static images. I’ve been designing and animating in Flash for corporations and publishers ever since. Take a look at a few of the 160 animated characters for Pearson Education’s interactive grammar series. The work was developed from 2004 to 2006 and resulted in over 200 Flash movies for their CD-ROM series. I started with pencil sketches, drew them in Illustrator, refined and coded the art in Flash. Executive producer, Ken Volcjak, liked the characters so much he had the actors look at my art when they recorded the voices.

Talking with about art and science with Ira Flatow on Science Friday

While continuing to work on corporate projects, I’m also developing my interest in science with a series fine art images. I had an opportunity to talk with Ira Flatow about my work on Science Friday. Daniel Kohn, an artist also working with science ideas, joined the discussion in NPR’s Manhattan studio. Listen to the 20 minute interview:

I’m in my studio Monday through Friday CST. If you want to hire me or have questions about a project or commission send me an email. View my work online or visit my studio gallery in Minneapolis by appointment. If you’d like to attend an art opening or artist talk, ask to be on my e-mail list.
