This image is famously available on acid blotter paper. Not that I would know...but I have heard that. I've always loved moire patterns, and anything optical that geeks out your eyes. Akiyoshi's work is sick!

This was my 3rd year there. I love it. I'm convinced that it is the most important consumer product show in the world. America's greatest exports, our popular culture...is there on full display in all of it's fanatical glory. People think it is just a freak show, where adults dress in random costumes. No doubt that is a piece of it...and it takes getting used to. But don't be fooled. It's not all Mario and wannabee Heath Ledger Jokers. Dig? It is ground zero for what will move culture in film, TV and gaming next year.
I have a camera filled with WTF moments-- here are the one's safe for posting on youtube. Peep the fat hulk character. Whoa!!!!!! Yes, me and My man Anthony Zuiker take the penny cab...
FingerBeat is a virtual instrument designed for creativity & self-expression. Inspired by retro synthesizers & samplers, FingerBeat is a homage to Dance Music & Pop Culture from the last decades. A classic for absolutely everyone!
Congrats's to my man Anthony Zuiker! Anthony is the creator of the hit TV show CSI. He is a serious gamechanger! I was with him this Saturday on a panel at comic-con, where he introduced his new "digi-novel" to the world.
The book launches on September 8th. I did 20 illustrations inside the novel and the cover design. When I met Anthony, I was so impressed by the concept of this 360 degree experience, that is largely digital-- that stems from a book, which is so analog-- I had to get involved. He was and is so passionate about this project, that it is contagious. We riffed on the idea of the book itself having the charm of a graphic novel, but the intensity of a real read. Also, since I'm such a geek for Alice in Wonderland, I figured-- let me be his Peter Newell. I went for a slightly naive style. The illustrations were inspired by the text. He would send me excerpts, and I would riff off of those.
Level 26: Dark Origins, to be published by Dutton, is the first in a series in which each book will be supplemented with 20 videos, or "cyber-bridges," featuring actors playing characters from the novel.
Yesterday we had a cast party at the ivy hotel in San Diego, celebrating the new Dexter iPhone game which will be launching before Season 4. It was a great day. The Showtime folks are amazing partners and so cool to work with! If you don't have Showtime, you don't have TV!!!!!!!
