OCTOPUS vs PLATYPUS


One day I asked myself the ultimate question...what would happen if an Octopus and a Platypus would meet in the wild. No doubt an epic battle would commence! And who would win? Two of nature's strangest animals in hand to 8 arm combat. "You callin' me a Puss?"

In stead of reaching for the mouse and my favorite digital drawing tools I decided to go analogue for this one. It meant actually visiting a store and buying black pens and nice heavy stock Canson paper.

full on battle!

TWO SIDES SHIRT

Another oldie this time. In November 2012 the great people at Threadless held the Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde design challenge. Ultimately 169 designs were sent in and 71,907 votes were placed...and to my great joy and surprise my super simple graphic representation of Jekyll & Hyde in a Venn diagram style was chosen to be the winner. The design shows the two sides of the character and how they overlap. Couldn't be more proud.
