where's waldo, jimi hendrix, and mythology

this was an action packed weekend. i got a lot of sketching done and went to some cool events. i dressed up as jimi hendrix for a legends, myths, and folktales themed costume party and it was so much fun i might impersonate him more often. i also got the pleasure of playing wizard white beard in a real life game of where's waldo my friends organized. i wandered around washington square park casting spells on squirrels and stroller-bound infants while teams of two hunted myself and other where's waldo characters down. brilliant idea and it was a killer time. i also finished some studies for a new piece based on the lunar and solar cycles. the characters represent the sun and the moon and you'll see more of them soon.

American Illustration

i went to the American Illustration kickoff to Illustration week party last night with some classmates to sell our new Poketo wallets. the artwork to be included in the next American Illustration book was up on the wall and it all looked great. there was some really inspirational work, Sam Weber failed to disappoint as usual and there seems to be a sweeping trend of bears and shaving in fine art/illustration coming about. so despite crumbling economies illustrators are still making great work. i'll have more updates on my current projects later but for now here's a look at one of the wallets poketo produced with my art on them.
