Cool, Tasseled, Magnetic

Just got a big box of samples! Bookmarks we designed for our friends at Magnetic Bookmark. We really like how they turned out. The print quality is great-- so is the finishing. They have a nice "feel" to them. 48 designs in the initial release-- Tasseled Bookmarks, Die-cut Bookmarks, and cute little fold-over bookmarks with interior magnets. Fun!

Le Hibou d' Hiver

It's midnight and all is still. Even the owls begin to close their saucer eyes. The snow gently falls, hiding the acorns that the squirrels will find in the springtime.

East Village Music Boy

This brand new illustration began as a little sketchbook drawing of a guy we saw recently. He was dragging his empty red wagon around the East Village, carrying a big tote bag full of various drum sticks. Was he on his way to pick up his drums? Or maybe take the entire band for a spin? As the illustration grew, so did the band. (Wouldn't you love to hear the music that this combination of instruments might make?) And the guy in the sketch somehow transformed into somewhat of a self portrait. Except my cool faux-coon cap has been AWOL since the 80's.

Winter

Picture a single icy pinecone lying half-visible in a field of blue-white snow on a cold, clear December day. Close your eyes and smell the smoke from a distant juniper fire.
