Textbook material

I signed a contract with San Min Book Co. to have my comic titled, ‘Generation Gap’ publish in a Taiwan textbook called ‘Consumers’ Behavior’. This is the second time this image has been published in a textbook, the last time in France. Apparently this illustration translates across all cultures. Funny thing is I didn’t approach any publishers. They both found the image posted on the web and contacted me about purchasing the rights.

Illustration Friday: Celebrate / Lollygaggin 2nd Anniversary

A very fitting Illustration Friday topic this week. Goes nicely with the image I was already going to post today. I got a 2 for 1 out of it. Today is the 2 year anniversary of Lollygaggin and that’s certainly reason to celebrate. Or at least good excuse to whip up this illustration.

Season’s Greetings

Happy Holidays to you and yerz! This is the design I whipped up for my family’s xmas card. I was very late with it this year. The cards still need to be filled out and mailed, yikes. I got caught up in other things and was slow to get the design done then we were hit hard by the ice storm that swept through New England last week, which has put projects like this on the back burner.

chain postcards

 

My friends and I were having a little discussion about how we used to send funny homemade postcard to each other when we first went away to college. By the time we graduated email was getting huge and my use of postage stamps really tailed off. At this point it’s extremely rare that I mail anything with the exception of Netflix DVDs. Off that discussion my friend Lea decided to kick off a postcard chain. You know like a chain letter, only friendly. She sent one to me (the turkey collage seen below) and I in turn created one and sent it off to my other childhood friend Alex. The lawn darts are a reference to a song our band played back in middle school.

It was fun to send out some real mail an a great excuse for me to play around with watercolor.

Comic helping educate French students

 
join the teamjoin the team page 33
Éditions Nathan, a French publisher contacted me back in February about purchasing the rights to one of my comics to print in an English textbook for 14 year old French students. Well, the book has been published and I got my copy in the mail today. The comic appears on the top of page 33 (seen above). It’s funny to see people from around the world contact me about acquiring the right to my work just from finding on my blog. To get a better look at the comic you can check out the original post here that sparked the request. It’s a shame I didn’t retain the French I leaned back when I was a 14 year old student. Then I would of had an easier time communicating with this company. Maybe I just needed a more interesting textbook with cool illustrations in it like this one.

Student Sketches

These rough sketches are ideas I was sketching out for a university student computer services t-shirt design. The project was tabled before I got too far with it. But I thought I’d share these drawings anyway. I’m certainly due for a post here.

Also Drinking and Drawing – Boston II is coming up this Wednesday, June 18th. If you’re in the Boston area I suggest you check it out. I’ll have a full update here afterwards.
