Small Wonders

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game - Amy Winehouse

I promised to post that warm, fuzzy signage I drew at my job
last week so here 'tis...The Small Wonders Department work
two cubicles down from us in the Licensing Dept.
Their manager approached me to hand draw a banner to hang
over their presentation boards for their Fall '08 meetings.
They do really sweet newborn graphics with Teddy Bears, Bunnies
and Ducklings. Each character is supposed to represent a gender,
the Bears are for Boys, the Bunny's for girls, and the Duck is for
Unisex clothing...boys and girls can safely wear ducks and not be
made to feel too masculine or too feminine about it.
So here are the happy trio...


It was really fun to do because it was HUGE (44" x 15") and that's
a lot of ground to cover with colored pencil. I was able to knock
it out over two days at work. It felt like I was back in school-
penciling for hours at a clip- I regained the feeling in my wrist
by the end of the weekend.
Well, it went over nicely I think. Our President gave me a
nice shout-out at the meeting this morning, and my Design
Director's talking to Corporate in Chicago about possibly designing
some in-store stuff.
As a result, I've been drawing a bit these days-
hopefully I'll be posting more soon.
