Name That Show! : Illustrations by Chad Malone<\/p>\n

Chad Malone is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator who works primarily with digital illustration living in Nashville, Tennessee. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Austin Peay State University in 2013. Malone is best known for his work with 20th Century Fox\u2019s hit sitcom Arrested Development. In the same vein as his winning illustration for the cover of the sitcom\u2019s fourth season, his exhibit Name That Show! features illustrations of characters from various television genres.<\/p>\n

Malone states, \u201cShowing the smallest amount of identifiable features from each character\u2019s appearance is what made my design for Arrested Development so attractive.<\/p>\n

Minimally representing a persona by expressing quirks and mannerisms through just enough detail is the theme of my show. I\u2019ve chosen to pay tribute to my favorite T.V. addictions and am excited to see how many viewers can correctly guess the television show each piece represents.\u201d<\/p>\n
