SHERRY'S SECRET DICTIONARY COVER

Woohoo! This is cover I did for Sherry Bedard's book about DOGS ( which is so fitting since I draw dogs all of the time, so I had so much fun making this). Her book will be up for sale online, so I'll post a link to it soon. Thanks Sherry for having me work on this with you, I couldn't ask for a better project and person to work with. :)
Love! C

That's Sherry reading a book in dog language with a dog. This book is about how to take care of dogs by listening to their body movements and how they bark. Like the language of dogs...:) Neato.

Anyway, I plan doing this cover in full colors but I wanted to post it up and share it in it's first stage.
Love! C

UNDERCOVERED LA POSTERS

LET'S INDEPENDENT! 10.21.08 POSTER

Going super minimal with this months poster! I've been making the posters for every Radio Free Silverlake Let's Independent show for over a year now. It's so great to be able to make something for all the different local LA bands, and exciting to see the change of style and experimentation over a year! I went through a big dog painting phase, and last month's was a really colorful vector image. This month is Jackie-O and JFK as dogs holding their dog baby in another dog dimension/time/space. I have to say, white background is always my first choice for everything-but, I've been playing around with black lately-and for posters, I'll try to make them more colorful and interesting for fun. But, I do think that with the right colors and arrangement, you can catch more people's attention with a white background. I think the white just kind of blanks out the surroundings, like life was 2D and we just cut out a square or just erased everything in that space in front of us, and gave the art a brand new spot of space in the universe to sit on. As if in that white space life started all over again.

SOCK DOG

DOGS AND TOAST

I am totally obsessed with toast.
Toast is obsessed with butter.
Dogs like talking to toast with butter on their tongues.

I don't know why I haven't been drawing more toast! I've been eating toast with marmalade like a million times a day. MMM! I haven't had toast in such a long time (years and years and years of a toastless life!) so now me n' toast are hanging like every second every day. Toast. What a weird word when you think about it. If you didn't know what toast was, you might think it was a cousin of FROG.

DOGS DOGS DOGS!

DOGS DOGS DOGS! I've been neglecting my dog obsession for a while, but, now that I have a new medium, the lil' pups are ready to take back the stage. AWW!
This is totally different from the folky/baby designs from earlier today, dawg.
Love! C
