Just a quick post to let you know that a recent interview I did for the “Wasting Paper” cartoonist interview series is now up for your reading pleasure.
This cartoon octopus character was created for a client developing a new baby product to help with diaper rash.
Believe it or not, I had not drawn a cartoon octopus until this project, so I was looking forward to it. I will say that I underestimated the amount of work all those tentacles and suckers were.
This cartoon dog news reporter — “News Hound” — was created for an upcoming iPhone news app. The client was pretty specific in what they were looking for: a 1940’s era news reporter, but of course a dog instead of a human.
This cartoon monk character holding a beer mug was created as a mascot for a St. Patrick’s Day promotion by national chain of Irish-themed sports pubs, Tilted Kilt.
I was approached by the marketing director who found and liked my cartoon illustration of a monk leaning on a beer keg, and wanted something in the same style, but of course their own original character.
This cartoon bear as lumberjack character design was created as part of a logo design for hand-crafted wood furniture maker Wissota Woods.
The client approached me on this project wanting a lumberjack character, but also wanting something a bit different. Bears are a fixture in his state of Wisconsin near Lake Wissota, so we ran with that.
