Hi there! I’m Drewprops - a creative consultant for feature films, television series, corporate clients, publishers & space pirates, and this is my online portfolio ;)
Books, websites, hand drawn sketches, technical diagrams, animated videos, product labels, logos, vehicle graphics, magazine articles, speaking engagements, science fiction conventions, pubcrawls, t-shirts, animations, etc., etc. – let’s make neat stuff!
I can concentrate on one piece of your puzzle or I can help you put all the pieces together. I’m flexible, conscientious, and I like to think that I’m professional. I have a great network of talented colleagues and I like to please my clients, which means that I’ll let you know if I think I’m not the right person for your job and hopefully have recommendations for people you should consider. I hope that you’ll enjoy looking around the website. Thanks for stopping by!

Department of Corrections Database
I created this simulation of a Department of Corrections database site for a low budget thriller. It's not pretty, but it wasn't meant to be - it was supposed to have an institutionally unfriendly interface and was "cinematically realistic" for the time period in which it was made. In the early 2000s most graphic designers working in film only knew how to create flat images to simulate websites.... See more...
Drewprops.com Website Redesign
I’ve used the domain drewprops.com to host a personal blog for more than a decade, so when in 2012 I returned to doing film work and outside corporate assignments I concluded that it was time to transform the site into an online portfolio and shunt the blog to a subdomain (blog.drewprops.com). I began by studying the websites of designers that I’ve long admired and compiled a list of... See more...
Highway to Glidden
This article was published in Oz Magazine’s Creative Index issue in August of 2011. Oz Magazine provided the artwork and layout for this issue's article. For years people have been fooled into thinking that big budget motion pictures are planned out to a meticulous degree because of the ‘making of’ featurettes about Star Wars and the Indiana Jones films. In truth, most movies... See more...
