Winter Animals by Murat Kalkavan is a series of illustration of various animals. His illustrations exude life through his use of colors and patterns. Read on to see more of his illustrations.

While designing the animals, I wanted them to have a cool and serious style. I usually create more absurd characters and this habit revealed itself while I was working on the animals, too. They, therefore, bore a different type of humour within their cool attributes. It was truly a challenge to find the proper geometrical shapes that suit their body forms, but it came along after I established a certain logical pattern.

It was a package and poster work that I did for the advertising agency though it wasn’t used. So, i adjusted and shared as I liked without any concern about the revisions from the agency. That’s why I get kind of happy when the genuine works I did for the advertising agencies don't get published. I feel like the value of the work is almost degrading when there’s a brand logo on it.

Since this one started as an advertising project, there’s hardly any meaningful starting point. We basically tried to create a certain style for the brand based upon some examples that I had been showed.

I find it very important for an illustrator/ designer to create his/her own language. To achieve that, there are two critical steps: one is getting to know yourself and the latter is to be courageous.
