Storyboard Portfolio - 2013

http://nickswiftstoryboards.blogspot.com/

I just set up my storyboard portfolio for online viewing!  Feel free to check it out if you have a moment.

Lazy Morning

Its always nice to take a break, sleep in, and enjoy a little moment to yourself.

Another postcard piece for CTN-X this November.

Train Hopping

"Thank you, sir!"
Hopping train to train, these two always know how to entertain the passengers of the NYC subway.  Donations are always accepted!

Three Card Monte

"Queen of Hearts, ladies and gentlemen!  Keep your eye on the Queen of Hearts.  Simple, isn't it?"

Not only skilled musically, Milo is also very talented with a number of other things- including magic and sleight-of-hand tricks.  Always the opportunist, Ricky is quick to use his best friend's talents to draw in unassuming passer-byes and make a little extra money.

Gotta Catch that Train!!!

If anyone’s been curious what I’ve been up to, I’m working hard on some new pieces to maybe pump up my portfolio for the upcoming CTN-X this November.
I’m expanding on an idea I had last fall- a story of 2 boys living in NYC, and the adventures they have.  Milo is the multi-talented goofball and hopeless romantic, while Ricky is the charismatic schemer who always has a trick up his sleeve.

"Attack!"

More of my jungle-warrior idea.
The girl's name is Chanda, and as a young girl she found a helpless baby tiger whose parents had been killed by something unknown.  The two never got along well, but they had to learn to trust on each other when Chanda's village was burned to the ground.  They escaped into the nearby jungle, despite the villager's stories of the horrors that hid within.

Chanda's Jungle

I've had this idea in my head for a little while about this young girl is stuck in a situation where she has to learn to fend for herself in a harsh and dangerous jungle.  She'd eventually grow to become this fierce jungle-warrior.
A sorta "Tarzan-esque" story, minus the gorillas.

1:55 Arrival, 2:00 Departure

I hate those times when you get in late from one flight and have to sprint all the way across the airport to catch your connecting flight.

I’m doing a series of illustrations based on different forms of mass transit.

Addy sketches

These are for a personal project of mine.  The left one looked too young for what I was going for, but I like to think of these two sketches like a "then and now" kind of thing.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

A little gift for my parents.
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad :)

Summer Postcard

This was just a warm-up sketch I did a couple of days ago.
