Mother’s Day Card, 2012

May 17th, 2012
by gideon

In the years that Julie has been a mom my cards have usually depicted Milo either incubating inside her or in the process of emerging from womb. This year, as Milo nears the age when he will regularly attend school (and as he becomes generally more independent) Julie and I will perhaps soon be able to resume a portion of our old life together. I see our love as for each other as having the potential to be reborn but forever changed by the process of having become parents.

Another one in the series of illustrations for Yoga Earth food products. Beautiful and kinda creepy, that Maca root.

Whatzit…a sample page

May 11th, 2012
by gideon

I’ve been focusing on the script and thumbnails, but sometimes I just have to take a page further and get a glimpse of what it’s all gonna look like… to keep my morale up.

WHATZIT Characters

May 1st, 2012
by gideon

A first (or second) go at the main characters. I’m guessing there will be some changes but it’s a start…I showed some samples around at MOCCA fest over the weekend and got both encouragement and a few good doses of critique. Much work to do!

WHATZIT

April 25th, 2012
by gideon

I’m very excited to be going to MOCCAfest this Sunday. In addition to hopefully seeing lots of folks I know and probably spending too much money, I will be showing around the beginnings of what hopefully will be my first graphic novel. It’s called WHATZIT and its going to be funny, gross, disturbing, and hopefully lots of fun. There will be lots more posts about this as I proceed, but I’m starting off with just a little teaser of the logo. More to come soon….

by gideon

I was hired to do caricatures of some nice folks who work at The College Board. Thanks to my friend Rebecca for hooking me up with this gig! Here are a few of the better ones, guys only. Tomorrow I’ll feature some of the ladies. If your company would like some caricatures…give me a call.

Schizophrenia and Almonds

April 17th, 2012
by gideon

I’ve been busy lately. I’ve been generating enough work to post, but just haven’t made the time to do so. I’ll try to catch up over the next couple weeks, posting a varied selection of recent paid work. Map design, comics, food packaging, website illustration, all sorts of little jobs piled up on top of each other, making me feel schizophrenic. Off all this stuff, the illustrations for Yoga Earth, a healthy snack food company, have been the most gratifying. Very friendly client, a good designer, and its also nice to have an excuse (getting paid!) to do nature drawings. The above is a picture of almond tree branches.

Electric Sex XIII

April 6th, 2012
by gideon

Its been a long time since I added to this series. This scruffy socket, mounted to a column in a dingy, florescent-lit waiting room in the Kings County Board of Ed, had a beleaguered yet vigilant quality to it. I hope it appreciated the attention.
