Doug McGuire : Illustration & Design

So, I have recently been working with a group of local creative friends on a new web series called Aidan 5, doing storyboards & illustration. This is a great group of very talented folks and I am geeked to be a part of it. The director, Johnny Jackson does a great job of explaining in his latest (and first) Aidan 5 blog post – check it out. We are in total churn & burn mode now and will probably remain there through the Summer. I will post examples if the project gets to where I can, or more likely, I will link to them on the project site.

Just got back from an outstanding vacation in Glacier National Park, Montana. If you ever get the chance, GO!

We flew in to Minneapolis to see family and then rode the Amtrak (20 hours one-way) to East Glacier. I can’t say I was a huge fan of the train ride, it was pretty rough a lot of the time, but I am glad I did it. We rode coach on the train so, if I were to do it again, I would get a sleeper car or fly in.

We stayed in 3 different lodges in East Glacier: Glacier Park Lodge, Many Glacier & the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. I liked them all for different reasons. Met many nice folks, saw interesting places, ate good food.

A lot of inspiration to draw and paint. I plan to post the outcomes of that inspiration.

Scenery, wildlife, hiking, the freshest air I have ever breathed…I will go back.

I wanted to get some pics of the mountains reflected in the lakes…unfortunately, the wind was whipping the whole trip. I have a few pics of the trip posted on Flickr & Facebook, enjoy.
