Comic Proposal for United Bakers

I saw a job posting recently that sounded like a lot of fun. The United Bakers Dairy Restaurant was celebrating their 100 year anniversary and wanted a comic book made describing their business's story. I liked the concept and the aesthetic of their website so I spent perhaps an unnecessary amount of time on a drawing to peak their interest. I didn't get the contract but I grew a lot from making the "teaser" and I'm really proud of it.

Some More Moleskine

I finished my moleskine sketchbook a few days ago. I decided to add the rest of the drawings to the previous post, even though I'm tampering with the chronology of the blog and, ultimately, the fabric of time.
I've been making a lot that I haven't been posting on here; I can't decide whether or not to post projects over which I didn't have complete creative control. They make me money and I like doing them but I can't decide whether or not I want them next to my entirely personal work or not.
I have been more inspired by commercial art than the art I've seen in galleries lately; I follow Jillian Tamaki's blog and I like a lot of James Jean, Tomer Hanuka and Maira Kalman illustrations. I guess I'm just greedy. Painting more fine art-type stuff makes me want to do illustration and vice versa; I like variety.
