Hand drawn custom font digitally painted for the 2D Animated series pilot, "Thea and the Enchanted Book". I included elements found in the prop concept work to tie the title art into the story.

Log Line:
An imaginative girl, bored with small town life, is drawn into an enchanted book ruled by a calculated sorcerer known as The Trapped Man. She must restore the story world or be trapped in the book forever.

Project goal:
I created an original story inspired by elements of The Wizard of Oz and The Phantom Tollbooth. It takes place in Southern Maryland during the the late 70's early 80's. The overall story represents change and how perceptions are formed by the things experience everyday, the unexpected, and even how to cope with the things we lose along the way. Thea Adelaide Shepherd and her cat, Fable, pass from the real world into the enchanted. We see a shift from a dull painterly style world to one that is bright and more graphic.

I am also a firm believer in continuity, creative collaboration, and that every pilot story needs an ending. I developed character backstories, rough side stories how characters meet/interact, and how the story ends. Having these continuity elements will give writers the freedom to be creative in how they weave my characters toward this set ending.
