Gung Hai Fat Choi! Here’s an image in celebration of the Chinese New Year which starts today, Jan. 23rd. This was executed in ink on board and scanned into the computer where I added color in Photoshop.
This is available as a T-shirt at my store (men, women and children sizes available). Click HERE to take a look.
Here’s my current submission to Threadless.com which is now up for voting.
This idea came to me while I was in Japan recently. Not because of anything I saw there. It just popped into my head one day and I sketched a thumbnail of it.
It refers to all of those promises of the future that were made in the 1960s. Promises that never came true. The “future” with its cellphones, iPads, and other electronic gizmos is even weirder in a way. It would be nice, however, to buzz through the air with our own jet packs, wouldn’t it?

I just had my first submission to Threadless.com accepted and it’s now up for voting. Wish me luck.
All elements in this portrait of a pirate are made up of musical notations. I fiddled with the face for a couple of days, trying to get the elements right. But it wasn’t until I added the curving lines and the ship in the background that the entire image gelled.

I just learned of the death of Christopher Hitchens and felt I should do a quick tribute. He died on December 15th while I was in Japan and not paying any attention to the news.
I disagreed with him about a few things—mainly his stand on Iraq. But I always admired his wit, the beauty of his prose and his ability to cut through the bull.
After creating a faithful portrait of Hitchens in Illustrator I used the Envelope Distort feature to tweak his features. I like the way I can exaggerate certain areas of the face using the Distort tool. Often the distortion feels more true than a straight image. In Photoshop, I added the grunge background using the Multiply tool.You can click on the image for a larger version.
Peace.
