Remember that Tom Waits job? The book’s about to be published, and it will include all 12 illustrations created by Gaby and I. The book’s already gotten some (Austrian) press buzz (click for big version):
By the way, pre-order now and you’ll get a free set of postcards with our illustrations printed on them.
Chuffed, I am!
Don’t let that title fool you: I’ve been so busy at work recently, I hardly ever get to update that other site of mine anymore — let alone this one. Did manage to squeeze in a little design job though, with the executive help of Gabriela. No money involved, just helping out a good friend. Hope he likes it!

My favourite is the blue-scalped Goth, though it must be said the dorky “Will Someone Release Me From These Dumbass Glasses” kid has a certain je ne sais quoi as well.
Just as France Belleville has an obsession with drawing cars and boots, so do I happen to like to draw pretty girls that live exclusively in the remote corners of my undoubtedly decadent imagination.
Behold, the censored version!

Oh, and here’s how Gabriela messed around with it:
My proverbial Significant Other Half just finished designing a small bunch of Valentine themed e-cards for Bag Magazine, an Argentine ‘zine (you guessed right!) aimed at and produced by, ya know, those people who are of the Greek Persuasion — not that there’s anything wrong with that!
I simply love the way she plunders my catalogue of minuscule doodles and dresses them up into something actually worthwhile publishing! Have a look:
… and my personal favourite:
Our mission: to design a birthday card for my godson Isken — in less than an hour, on a Sunday.
Fair enough. First draft, pen and ink:
Scan! Colorize! We’ve about half an hour to go. This is where Gaby’s talent comes in:
Print! Glue! Scissors! Viola.
Happy birthday Isken. :)
