I just received my advance copy of my most recent children’s picture book written by the super funny, Joan Holub. The book is irreverent twists on classic fairy tales featuring all the familiar characters. There is a lot of hand lettering, title banners, and filigree in this book, which was fun and challenging to create. Joan’s funny jokes and details really made my job easy.
Chronicle Books has posted an animated teaser of the book on their web site. Again, I worked with the amazingly talented, Kirsten Lepore to create the animation. Also posted are a Q & A with Joan, some additional images from the book, and a downloadable Knucklheads book mark.
I have just unleased a new batch of mutated monsters, and creepy creatures in my new show. “Wax Pack” features works on paper, ltd edition prints, and mini print sets, inspired by 1960’s – 70’s era monster trading cards.
The show is over but you can purchase art from the show on www.slackart.com
The Spooky 2009 glow in the dark bi- weekly calendar is now available. Published by the German publisher, Gestalten. Gestalten publishes many cool, art and design books. These calendars sell out fast.
Description:
Twenty-six new ghouls, ghosts and fiends have sprung from the wild imaginations of designers from around the world to inhabit the Spooky Calendar for 2009. Misleadingly sweet by day, these sprits are transformed by glow-in-the-dark elements at night that reveal their scary side. Every two weeks a new large-format page will send delightful shivers down the spines of children of all ages.
I have four pages in the calendar.
