illustration fisk

i love lobsters…well usually eating them, so i feel a bit guilty about how much i like how mr. lobster (cap’n lobster?) turned out here. It’s so fun drawing animals that i think are so familiar, and then the more I look at pictures/video when working on the image i notice all sorts of weird interesting details. for instance, always knew the claws were different on lobsters, but didn’t realize one claw has jaggedy edges and the other one is rounded. fun fun. this guy will be seen on tea towels and napkins very soon!

watch out rafa, there’s a new sheep in town.

this is why i love sketching. i can draw ridiculous images like this! i just came across this in one of my sketch books. clearly drawn during one of the majors. totally obsessed with the australian open right now, so this is very fitting!

some fun sketches – cranes, and tigers, oh my!

i think if i was an animal i’d want to be a tiger. besides the fact no one will mess with you since you’re the biggest cat around (yep, bigger than lions), you get be striped all over. super fun. maybe though i’d like to be a rainbow striped tiger…

new eggs! ha!

i’ve been working on a really fun project for a french brewers event in nyc. I worked on the event design. I love doing illustrated logos, and this event fit really well since it’s craft breweries and they wanted a bit of a hand-done feel. perfect fit! I worked with the amazing PR woman Catherine Berthier, of Berthier Communications on this project.

you can see the website for the event here. we worked with the fantastic audrey romano for the web programming and making our design web-friendly, because my gosh i am terrible at that.

pandas!

been working on some pandas, and put these guys up on pingg! it’s a bit weird to finish them since panda are black and white and i almost always make my line work something other than black. fun though!

flamingo obsession!

this week i’ve been obsessed with flamingoes.

this is the pic that started it!

sketchy flamingo

flamingoes in love. they’re up here on pingg. i’ve been adding more images on pingg, it’s a big freeing to not have to worry about the paper component, and good to push myself in color too.

stationery trends this month!

so thrilled to be in stationery trends this month, with my oh baby card!

drive the bus!

i’m working on a transit project, and here were some initial sketches i did for the bus driver character. we went in a different direction but drawing some cartoony 1950′s-60′s bus drivers felt like heaven!

pancake monsters on the loose!

302 pancake monsters took over my life for the past couple weeks and then were shipped off to uncommongoods to hopefully show up in homes everywhere, how fun! you can get them here.

here’s acouple of pancake monsters pursuing their never ending goal of eating more pancakes!
