One of the most fun projects I’ve worked on at Struck was a pair of totem poles made up of classic Nickelodeon characters that are now installed at the Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, CA.
Starting with a rough sketch and dimensions of the sculptures, I planned out which characters should go where and explored a range of styles and treatments to fit the totem pole look—from more to less abstract. I ended up landing somewhere in the middle—the colors and features stayed true to the original characters, but their head and body shapes became more blocky and graphic.

Agency
Struck
We worked with a very talented team of local fabricators to create the sculptures. They took the 2D designs I created and rendered them into the 3D realm with high-density foam coated in a weather-safe enamel lacquer. I made a couple trips to the shop to give direction on some of the areas that were tricky to translate from 2D to 3D.
