Kraken Rum commissioned a large number of illustrations that were all hand-rendered and created by Steven Noble for their series of animations and assembled over wire frames with separate Photoshop layers that included shadows, midtones and highlights that took over 3 months to complete. This allowed the illustrations to be pealed and disassembled like layers on the surface of an onion.

These animations appeared in television ads nationwide across the US during the ESPN March Madness that includes "Existence," Strength" and Survival."
