Hippity Hoppity

I recently finished up a couple illustrations that will be part of a really neat book that is a compilation of different poems and songs all based around the theme and history of hip hop. The book was put together by Nikki Giovanni and I was really excited to have the chance to be a part of it.

One of the editors passed this along and it offered a nice insight into the project from an angle that didn't involve lots of scribbling and erasing.

Giovanni, friends find history’s rhythm

All in the Family

My little brother fancies himself an illustrator as well. I think he's bloody brilliant. You decide.

New Scenery

Well well, after months and months something new has appeared on this page. I'd like to think that I've had a fine excuse for my inactivity in the ol blogosphere; moving to the other side of the planet, crazy (fun) amounts of work. Yeah, I think I can be forgiven my neglect of bloggish activities.
Anyways, so yeah, about 7 months in now to my new life in India. I should probably have a lot to say about the move and the culture shock and all that, but right now I just don't have the commentary in me. It's almost too big to comment on. Still, I should get down to a proper dissection of the experience one of these days.
Besides the move, work has been the thing that has dominated my time so aggressively. I've been more than happy with the amount and, more than that, the calibre of the projects I've been lucky enough to get in on lately so I'm not complaining. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the more recent work once it gets published and I can hold it in my little hands. In the meantime here are some samples from a few projects that I am finally putting up on my website as well.
