Rosa Luxemburg and Dove



When The Royal Canadian Mint tapped us for another round of animation for a commemorative coin (our 9th spot!), we were excited to find out that this one was for the legendary French-Canadian artist, Jean Paul Riopelle. 

What we didn't expect to hear: "But you can't use his likeness, nor any of his paintings. And no, you cannot create any imagery done in his style."

Luckily I love a good challenge. 

Read on for a peek at the process — some of our favourite bits didn't make it into the spot, but such is the nature of client work, and we're happy to share those bits here.
