Early in 2016 I got hired to provide concept art for this lovely project that became Enchant, the Worlds Largest Christmas Light Maze situated on the city of Vancouver, Canada.

The design team composed freelancers from many countries. I worked as the Art Director at this stage, my job was to come up with the conceptual art for the sculptures and then correct the 3D models to make them look great. Some of the conceptual art was too complicated to get to production this first time, but it gave us many ideas that we can hopefully implement next year!

Apart from the concept designs for trees, deers, sleigh, and other sculptures I was asked to create the illustrations for a children´s book, a wonderfull story where a snowstorm hits christmas village on the north pole and Santa´s deers get lost. The deers go hide on the light maze and kids all over the world are called to help find them to save Christmas. Thats why there are 9 huge deer sculptures around the maze, kids have to find all of them and get their stamp on a card handed to them at the entrance.

To make this event even more attractive I offered to create 7 original ambient music tracks that create a truly magic atmosphere for people to enjoy while walking the maze. Thanks to talented composer and close friend Ariel Schlichter the prodction of this audio set ended up being absolutely fantastic. You can listen to the tracks at: https://www.arielsch.com
