Milo Summer

By Nate Williams | Published: December 14, 2009

Here are some Milo clips I put together for my family in the states. Milo is a super physical kid … even as a baby .. but his latest activities are:

  • climbs on my desk and jumps about 4 feet to my bed
  • likes to jump on kids when they fall down at the park .. like surprise dog pile
  • likes to put on a bike helmet and jump on the bed while I throw pillows at him

Does a professional illustrator need a “style”?

By Nate Williams | Published: November 23, 2009

Note: This is a question I struggled with for a long time and I know we all have different opinions .. Please contribute to the conversation by leaving comments below. Please keep the discussion positive and constructive. Thanks n8w

  • Sort; type:
  • Feeling/Tone
