I received word from The Land of Nod that they are very interested in selling prints of "Pierre Fait du Camping". That is awesome! I LOVE The Land of Nod! I should know as early as next week if they will be using my Pierre Prints in 2010
I am an illustrator living in Syracuse, NY. I have always been inspired by retro colors or themes; as well as vintage toys, posters and book jackets. I could watch vintage cartoons all day long. Who doesn't love the Flintstones and the Jetsons? (my grandma used to have an old flintsone village set- the coolest toy ever!
I also love the old animations of Bill Hurtz. Those guys really knew how to use wonky perspective. Some of my favorite illustrators currently are Christopher Nielsen, Derek Yaniger, Giselle Potter, and Matte Stephens. I work in flat acrylic paint on paper, illo board and panel. Sometimes I finish work digitally for magazine assignments.
