During a recent visit to a Philadelphia Craft Festival, I couldn’t help but notice the inordinate number of items featuring owls or octopi. Since they seem to be the animal darlings of the independent craft world, I whipped up this hybrid for Ghosticorn Apparel.

I came across this circa 1996 doodle while paging through an old sketchbook. I thought that the character was too deliciously condescending and smug to go to waste so I turned him into a Ghosticorn tee design. It’s always nice to give younger me the opportunity to collaborate with older me.

Acrylic & Paint Marker on Retired Library Books • Private Collection

A septet representing the dozens of hand-painted books cluttering up my studio as of late. Because these books are on their way out of circulation (as opposed to on their way in), I feel a little like a literary mortician.

I created these vaporous goodwill ambassadors for a potential client. Unfortunately, the potential client didn’t see their potential. I’d hate to see Nimbus and Cumulus go to waste so drop me a line if you think you have a use for ’em.
