My Blue World

Well, I think I’m done with the My Blue World series. I just don’t feel like these later ones hit the mark as much as the earlier ones did. I think part of it has to do with a lack of time I have to really think about them, and another part has to do with a long list of rules I set up for myself based on those earlier concepts. Rules like: Never show an entire face so that the people portrayed can be fairly anonymous, try to capture the least amount of information possible in order to tell the story, try to capture the story at its most interesting moment, etc.

I’ll probably be printing the series in iPhoto book form accompanied by a CD of ELO covers (since my illustrations are like covers: my take on ELO songs). Love to take credit for the CD idea but that was Bill’s genius. If you'd like a copy, lemme know.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed most of them.

Uncovered these the other day. When my friend Laurie first announced she was going to open a Guthrie’s in Atlanta, I did similar versions of these for her. Check ‘em out. Incidentally, my lovely wife did the illustration for the 2nd poster. She is awesome.

Don’t Bring Me Down

The latest in my E.L.O. series. I think I wanna do "Turn To Stone" next. Any ideas for that one?

This is the emoticohn: The first Jewish emoticon (according to me). Notice the Heebie shnoz. And don’t worry, I’ve already put it on t-shirts here. (Most of them say “emoticohn” on the left sleeve.)
