These illustrations are all for a little movie I’m working on right now about the life of Ezra Jack Keats. I’m waiting to hear back from the lawyers of his estate. There’s only so much we’re allowed to do. We’re allowed to use his original book covers but none of his original artwork. We also want to be “sensitive” about the subject. That’s a word being thrown around a lot at the office this week. It’s just plain weird having to create […]
Here’s that pattern I was working on. Here it’s shown on an infinite repeat which is where the pay off comes. I’m pretty happy with the result but part of me can’t decide if I like it better with the raindroops spread out the way they were last night or if I like them now that they’re all squished together. I thought for the splish and the splash to make sense they’d need to be in a downpour. Now I’m not so […]

I have a friend who’s dusting off her party planning chops for the event of the Summer. As she sees it it’s up to me to come up with advertising. It’s a huge dating day, Brooklyn-style with a lot of young, single cuties. My only directions were, “Make our event look like the best thing […]
I like this. I like this a lot. I like this more than anything I’ve done in a long time. I think that’s bad. I think that I shouldn’t like this doodle so much. I see it working as a logo for a soccer team, or even a little weird emblem Polo shirt style? Of course, this could just be delirium talking. DELIRIUM? No I don’t think so, I think it freakin’ rocks!
