Sasquatch’s Big Hairy Drawing Book: whyissasquatchcrying.com will be the place for the drawing book’s promotional website, I’ll be certain to remind you to go there again soon when it has more neat stuff to look at.
I art directed and designed this book full of art from Bill Plympton’s career and films as well as his personal story written by himself and David B. Levy. It was a pleasure and honor to work on a second book that focused on an important figure in independent animation (after my first book, Unfiltered: [...]
Above are two recent books that I designed, Independently Animated: Bill Plympton and Constructing Green Lantern From Page to Screen, both published by Universe. The Plympton book is just recently out, and available now, whereas the Green Lantern book is coming out a few weeks prior to the movie, so its interiors remain confidential for [...]

Experimenting with possible inside cover art for my book Why Is Sasquatch Crying? coming out next year from Chronicle Books. These are heads and little character bits from the book. Incidentally there are not a lot of complete character drawings, or at least characters with complete heads, because you are supposed to draw them, not [...]
Here’s a sketchbook drawing I doodled up with the last bits of ink in a brush pen, a nib pen, sumi ink and some drug-store-bought Crayola watercolors. I posted it on meathaus.com too as part of the new daily drawing feature I’m including on the site where Meathaus associates send me drawings and I post [...]
