Client: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC Kidney Center

Every spring, the UNC Kidney Center organizes a walk/run fundraiser for their research. I’ve had the opportunity to work with them every year since their inception and I always have fun figuring out where to put the next Carolina Blue anthropomorphised kidney.

I made this illustration to accompany a story by Jason Roemer for the Ferocious Quarterly blog. The yin/yang dogs refer to the balance in the scene between the chaos of the dogs’ activities and the relative calm and shut-down attitude of the main character.

Hik Hyke Hoak

David — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:00:32 +0000

The fantastic illustrator, Steve Wolfhard, created a great excuse for a bunch of other illustrators to create some autobiographical characters in the spirit of Pokemon. His Portrait-Dex site compiles these efforts.

My entry combines my love for hiking with my terrible sense of direction, along with a revival of my dormant Latin verb conjugation skills.

Robots and Monsters

David — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:00:26 +0000

Robots and Monsters is a unique outfit that pairs charitable fund-raising with custom commissions of cartoons by a bunch of great artists. I’ve been honored to contribute what has become quite a stack of drawings to the project, created by Joe Alterio.

The artist (me, in the cases below) is given three words chosen by the buyer, as well as a designation of “robot” or “monster.” Beyond those hints, the final image is up to me to complete. I’ve had a lot of fun with the project, and it is satisfying to know the work helps out great causes like Doctors Without Borders and Water.org.
