Kickstarter

I've enjoyed drawing animals ever since I discovered how funny they were: the range of motion, the varied shapes and colors, the deadpan facial expressions. (It gets even better when you add clothes.) Besides, I often draw for kids, where you can get away with making your main character a polar bear.

As an illustrator, I generally work in ink and watercolor. But when I studied illustration and printmaking in Germany, I fell in love with silkscreen. It's a great medium for bright, graphically bold posters–exactly what I plan to make here. And I like a handmade product!

Sports offered my animals some interesting poses. I had fun matching each animal with a sport they were singularly unsuited for.

The posters will be 18x24, which will fit in a standard-sized poster frame. Each of three designs will be produced in a run of about 250, all three in this large size. I'll also be printing a limited number of 12x16 mini-posters of ACROBATOPHANT and BASCATBALL.

The Kickstarter funds will cover printing and paper costs, shipping supplies, and other design costs like sample prints.

Thanks! I can't wait to send you a beautiful poster!

NEW REWARD:

It occurs to me that some of you, who might otherwise wish to support me, may not be interested in owning a piece of children's(-like) illustration. Perhaps you don't even know any children, or maybe you yourself are not especially childlike at heart.

I understand. For all you serious adult types, I have a new $25 reward. Zombie posters! (OLD YELLER LEVEL.) I made these a few years ago, and they continue to make me laugh. 12x16, offset printed on chipboard, fits in a standard-sized frame.
