Just posted over at Design Interviews is an interview with yours truly. Jeff Andrews—the mastermind behind not only Design Interviews but also illustrator group sketch blog Sugar Frosted Goodness among others—was kind enough to ask me to answer some questions and provide some artwork to feature me as one of the artists on the site.
Head on over and read up!

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated my blog with recent work, I have been (gladly) super busy with client projects, deadlines and upcoming work that I need to make time for now. A lot of really great cartooning projects have been recently wrapped up, with lots more good stuff on the digital drawing board right now.
The image above is a quick teaser showcasing some of the recent work — both finished and in progress — including: a cartoon Marines character for a t-shirt design for a Young Marines troop, a cartoon monster character for a self-published children’s book project I was just awarded, a cartoon ogre mascot for a video game portal website, an “inventor Mom” character with her home made robot, a tough security guard/body guard mascot character for an online data storage company, a puppy dog mascot character, a surfer character for a gyro/souvlaki restaurant, a frog version of the Statue of Liberty for the Ohio Canal Corridor’s annual event t-shirt, more avatar portrait illustrations for the Cleveland, Ohio travel & visitors bureau Positively Cleveland, and a fish mascot character and logo for a niche fishing utility product.

Just a quick admin note that the blog has been upgraded to WordPress 2.3 from 2.2.1. I used the WordPress Auto-Update plugin for the first time, and it worked great.

The past few months have been insanely busy with projects, and as a result the blog (and it’s readers) have not been getting their due attention. I hope the art, cartooning & illustration del.icio.us links that get auto-blogged in the RSS feed for subscribers have staved off the information withdrawl just a bit.

I just noticed via my blog stats that I was receiving traffic from Wikipedia; turns out my blog post on the Pixelmator release is being cited as a reference on the Pixelmator Wikipedia entry in regards to criticism of the software — specifically the lack of graphics tablet pressure sensitivity.
In the post I actually mention that the Pixelmator creators have that feature on the drawing board for a future release, but I suppose it is a bit of a criticism. I still think Pixelmator is great stuff, but as a Wacom geek the pressure sensitivity is something I have come to rely on in a graphics application.

I just noticed that the WordPress settings were truncating my RSS feeds, even though I had things set to display full text in the feeds. For now I have reverted to summary-only feed content until I can find a plugin to work around this.
If you’ve been reading posts in an feed aggregator and wondered why the posts seemed to end mysteriously, that’s why. Posts usually have enough content to sink your teeth into, so you may want to go back and read some of the posts from the past month if you weren’t viewing directly on the blog.

Just posted this funky cartoon skull illustration to my iStockPhoto illustrator account. I was trying to get a good chunk of Halloween imagery uploaded for the upcoming holiday, but with other work projects I just have not had the time to get much done, and it’s getting pretty close to printing deadlines for October/Halloween this year.
Regardless, I have always loved drawing skeletons, and anything Halloween related - monsters, zombies, The Mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula - you name it.
