]ANIMAL FARM PIGS[

I found this George Orwell essay called Why I Write at a flea market. Just like I suspected, I was blown away and inspired by it.

Since then, I've been on a bit of a Orwellian kick. Currently, I'm drawing the characters from Animal Farm in my spare time. I'm sure some will see the influence of Ralph Steadman's illustrated version of Animal Farm but then again when is my work NOT influenced by Ralph Steadman?

I'm happy with the Pigs so far (from top to bottom: Old Major, Snowball, Napoleon, and Squeeler) I really want to get into some scenery for them and maybe a few story boards. Feel free to comment...everything on this sight is available in print form.

]UNCLE BLOKT[

It's scary to say this, but I have a nephew who just finished his senior year football season...wow I'm old. His team, the Mountain Lakes Herd went undefeated, won the state championship for their division and got to play their final game at Giants Stadium! Not a bad way to end your High School football career. NICE WORK BUOY!!

It was great to see him play when I was able to get out to Jersey, his team seemed like such a great group of kids that got along well and fought hard.

To commemorate his season, I did this illustration for him.

RRRRR FOOOBAWWW!!! It's so intense you can't even pronounce the 'T' and 'L'

I was asked to do a mascot for a client, Cigar Report a while back and came up with this...Cigmond the Bulldog and his über-foxy arm candy.

Get it? CIG-mond? Sigmund? No? Maybe next time.

Also available in hat version.

I had this image that I did of my cat lying around with no real plans of doing anything with it. So, I decided to submit it to the Threadless t-shirt competition. It's sort of out of left field as far as style I know, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

You can vote on it and other tee submissions on their website.

]OUT WITH THE OLD[

A few years ago, a Boston-based world renowned record store, Underground Hip Hop, asked me to do a logo for them.

Since then, the company has grown and Boston has had the sticker I designed pasted all over its streets. This year, I got a call to re-design the old logo and a few other elements. So, here's the old (top) and the new (bottom).

Can yoooouuu dig it?

]CORBIS BOOGIE[

First round of Corbis drawings done with Thunderdog Studios used for stock illustrations on their website. This and other illustrations that I've done have been inspired by the Bronx in the 70's and photography of Jamel Shabazz.
