A Trip to the Zoo

I'm illustrating a children's book in between classes and jobs now. Written by a former Creative Writing teacher at Drexel - he is now teaching at Union College in NY - it's about a brother and sister who stray from their parents at the zoo, and encounter animals in their habitats who help them find their way back to the zoo entrance.

I'm documenting the different stage of all illustrations.

The first page illustration (so far):






1 begun, 19 to go...and a book sleeve, almost forgot about that.

RANT BOX

I did a little story board illustrating over the weekend for Gari Media Group. RANT BOX, a forum type television show for voicing your opinion on today's politics/social issues/whatever is pissing you off.
They pitched the tvshow idea to NBC yesterday morning with these drawings:



hopefully the pitch went well, I have not heard any further developments about it, so we shall see..... :)

April's First Friday at Sazz Vintage, Philadelphia, PA

Old City was rockin last night for April's First Friday! (a.k.a. ArtWalk, for all you Greenvillians..ahaha villians)



Combined with vintage clothes and somewhat vintage snacks (the old vanilla sandwich cookies, gingersnaps you ate when you were 3, and Mondos! the twist off top blue sugar water refreshments) my work, titled "Animals and Adcock" got some attention. It's a more commercial series than anything, and I had a few people cooooing over the elephant drawings. People love elephants.


So go visit the store, buy some vintage shit, I plan on doing so when I actually get a paycheck.
