Echo A La Mode

Echo Chernik's 3rd Art Book 'Echo A La Mode' has come to fruition through the backing of her loyal fans and supporters via Kickstarter. This funding platform for creative projects has allowed Echo to raise over $14,000 to put together an 'indulgent must have' full of some of her finest works including the 'Shadowrun portraits' and 'Goddesses of Cuisine.' She said at the start of the project "This is the book that my fans have been asking for - one featuring only the best of my work. The base required amount will allow me to produce a 64-page soft cover version and a limited number of hard cover versions of ECHO A LA MODE, an art book featuring art, notes, sketches, photos, and details about my process that everyone has been begging me for. Stretch goals will be added to improve the length and quality of the book. For example, ECHO NOUVEAU successfully reached stretch goals that allowed an increase to 100 pages, a hard-cover, a beautiful spot varnish, and gold foil embossed slip-cases for Kickstarter backers and collectors only." Now the financial goals have been exceeded, the book is due to be released in the early Summer. More information on the Kickstarter website.

Alex Fuentes

Versatile Alex Fuentes tackles a big commission from China. Working with JWT Shanghai for Chinese sports brand ANTA, Alex has produced this energetic illustration to be used on TV and print on the theme Basketball is Life. It is not often that a Chinese brand works with foreign talent, which makes this commission even more special. It has also used the talents of  Echo Chernik and Mart Klein for the other ads.

How did Echo Chernik do it?

The astounding Echo Chernik is in the news again, this time being featured in Digital Arts Magazine. The article shows Echo's sketch and final of the recent portrait of  Tara Cadmus, owner of New York's luxury chocolate shop Oh Pour L'Amour Du Chocolat. Take a look.

Oh For The Love Of Chocolate

If you are a chocolate lover, then you won’t be able to resist Echo Chernik’s recent art for Oh Pour L'amour Du Chocolat. The project was to create a luxurious art nouveau portrait of the Owner, Tara Cadmus, displaying her chocolates, resulting in a 36" tall Giclee print, posters, tags, and stickers. The Framed Giclee is installed at the shop in New York. If you’re based that way, go have a look.

Flattered By Thefts

Good enough to steal – so it goes for Echo Chernik's poster work for Connecticut Opera's upcoming show 'Tosca'.

It seems the posters have gone down so well they are being stolen from the walls of restaurants, libraries, bookstores and drug stores. The story has even made TV news, while the Opera has had to order a second printing of the poster. This is Echo's third poster for the opera, and she is half-hoping the other two will be in similar demand!

Still Good Enough to Steal

More of Echo Chernik's outstanding poster work is going down a storm at the Connecticut Opera right now.

'La Cenerentola' is the second in a series of three Mucha-inspired posters for Connecticut Opera's 2008 season. As we reported last year, Echo's first poster for the opera 'Tosca' made the headlines for being repeatedly stolen from walls around town. (As yet no-one has been charged for this outrage). It will be interesting to see what happens this time.

The Privileged Few

Helping keep out the riff-raff is Echo Chernik and this stunning New Year's Eve Party invite design for the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Entitled "Eve", the illustration leans heavily towards Art Nouveau, and incorporates decorative elements such as the stained glass windows of the Bellagio casino. The invite is presented in a die cut envelope with vellum inlay.

Ice Cream, You Scream

Echo Chernik has just finished this huge packaging job for Langnese Safari Afrika ice cream which has just been re-launched in Germany.

The Safari brand is one in four in the collection all created by Echo: “I was in charge of the background illustration for the ice cream, with the typography and flavour elements placed on top in house. It was a wonderful job working with fantastic art directors over at Langnese.”
