Jeff Kern design for "Henry David Thoreau"

Henry David Thoreau

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see” felt like a perfect quote to play with artistic and illustrative expression. Watercolor, oil paint, and pencil sketching as a foundation in Adobe Fresco that was then blended digitally with a touch of photography and collage. Monochromatic / color contrast works to support the punch of meaning as the eyeglasses transform.
