Welcome back! This episode it’s all about PRIDAK! Pridak is the character/toy I created for BIONICLE during my time as a designer for The LEGO Company. Follow along as I create several paintings in honor of PRIDAK all the while sharing stories and insights into my creative process on the BIONICLE team. Also, lots of never before seen behind-the-scenes artwork. This one is dedicated to all the die hard BIONICLE fans! As always, thanks for watching!

A free-flow, auto-drawing illustration exercise I like to use wherein I don’t rely on underlays or pre-planned compositions. I draw as the image comes to me with a focus on capturing the frenetic and fast energy of the thought. Don’t overthink. Don’t over-refine. Just go. ~ Thank you, for your incredible contributions: Intro theme: Ceci Ellis Original episode music/composition: Ceci Ellis Mentor/Studio Gear: Eric Watkins ~ Website: My Instagram: Burton’s Instagram:
