It's also a fitting metaphor for the activity within the studio right now... a new animated commercial for Intel Corporation, as well as three books to illustrate, and over a dozen other corporate client projects.
I feel very fortunate to be this busy, and after taking a multi-day ski trip a little over a week ago, (first break since Christmas), I'm refreshed and ready to have some fun with it all.
--Meanwhile, here's a sampling of what has been on the Wacom digital tablet over the past two weeks:
 |
| A political cartoon created for a column in the San Francisco Examiner, link |
 |
| Another, for a column in the S.F. Examiner last week, (link). |
 |
| A patchwork of currencies -- a cartoon for Merk Funds (link) |
 |
| A cartoon on Ben Bernanke's dalliances with the Gold Standard, (link) |
 |
| One of several advertising cartoons for Zoom Info |
 |
One of 42 cartoons (yes 42!) created for a book to help doctors effectively maintain and market
their websites. The book is by medical industry executive Ann Kaplan -- and just went to the publishers.
(I previously illustrated a humor book for her covering the pitfalls of cosmetic surgery...link).
|
 |
| A cartoon for Energi USA, a California HR and insurance firm. |
 |
| A scene from an animated corporate presentation for Towers Watson in New York. As usual with animation, I designed the scenes and characters and drew the artwork, but left the technical aspects of animating it to others. (Honestly, lining up repeating frames in order seems tedious -- and I chose this profession to have fun.) |
