Strange and fantastic cloud creatures who float dreamlike in an alternate universe

some sketches scanned and auto-traced/vectored circa 2001-4, there's stories in my mind to associate with them. self-made paracosms, on demand.

A Type Speciman

One of my 1990s obsessions was font creation. Most leaned in the "garage font" category but a few specimens came out cleaner, and in this case (no pun intended) clean and rustic. One of my efforts that brought a level of typographic pride. It is artsy-crafty, yet mod with an old meets new vibe. If you're interested in the file send me an email.

Reading his blog shows how much mine sucks. Maybe can kick it into gear circa 2012.

Zooey Deschanal Eyes

If i was really clever i'd write a song about Zooey Daschenal eyes. But, since the song Bette Davis Eyes fits her name so well just going to apply the Weird Al filter to the internets and viola!

The Game of Monogamy

Dropping back onto the determination of a man not wanting to face down a second divorce, Kasher works his way through the mundane moments of married life. Those painful, painful mundane moments: The Game of Monogamy peeks in on a narrator desperately trying to hold a mature relationship together after every bit of novelty's worn down to a nub. One song, he's looking up old girlfriends on Facebook, the next, he's sitting through another couple's ten-year anniversary party marveling in the boring ironies of attending the affair with a woman who he's utterly bored with. He even skips out on the relationship for a bit -- but only long enough to realize how much he's come to cherish everything he thought he loved about the same-old, same-old of a committed relationship. If it's not quite Romeo and Juliet, it's not quite War of the Roses either. Monogamy is a bitch, Kasher tells us, but it's sure better than the alternative.

Monogamy is hard work. Kasher's impressed us with that fact a couple times now. This time around, perhaps with the help of maturity and hindsight, The Game of Monogamy is ready to see it through to the end. It's not a fairytale ending, but it's a realistic ending. There's no happily ever after. Get used to it, kids.

Goat

While sitting in a hospital waiting room I had both my sketchbook and a gifted (and autographed) copy of Alice and Martin Provensen's Town & Country. The illustrations are so authentic and inspiring. Had time to sketch out this goat.

Cat in the Window

Found this in an old sketchbook and surprisingly still liked it. I'm my own worst critic, especially with stuff I've done over 12 years ago. Date was 5-4-98. It looks like a graphic interpretation of the window next to the dining room table but we never owned a yellow cat. The artist sees what he needs to see.
