Poll Data

2008-12-11T21:23:42+00:00

Here is some interesting data from two different polls I did on illustrationmundo.com. My goal was not really to find out what people's favorite or least favorite genre of illustration is.. but more to see if there was a correlation between the two ... likes and dislikes ... do some genres have more lovers and haters? .. where as others are more neutral? .. not very scientific .. just me being curious

For Students

2007-11-30T16:25:05+00:00

People often write me about how I got started as an illustrator and if there is any advice I can give them regarding making a career out of illustration. When I first started, I wrote illustrators that I admired (Jordin Isip, Modern Dog, Kirsten Ulve) and they were very generous with their information/expertise .. so I would like to return the favor by helping out new illustrators.

That Crook�d �Sip

2007-05-11T01:19:41+00:00

That Crook’d ‘Sip

Hey Folks .. be sure to check out this new cartoon on adult swim May 13th, at 12:15am. My old friend Jacob, a guy I knew all the way back when I was working at Kinko’s Copies, is one of the creators. He’s a super talented, creative guy so I can assure you this will be great.

Here is the synopsis:

That Crook’d ‘Sip: The Beauregard family, much like their Mississippi mansion, is falling apart. Relics of the Old South, this dysfunctional clan sits in stark contrast to the modern crunk-fueled Dirty South that has grown up around their crumbling estate, Frenchman’s Bend. The pilot for That Crook’d ‘Sipp airs Sunday night, May 13th, at 12:15am.
created by Jacob Escobedo and Nick Weidenfeld With original score and starring David Banner.

Calef Brown interviewed by Nate Williams

2007-04-01T15:34:02+00:00

Tell us about your first book? How did it come about? What was your inspiration and how did you go about getting it published?

I decided to try to create a children’s book in 1994.

Although I loved freelance work and being busy, I was feeling a little burnt out from the pace and the deadlines after doing a lot of jobs, mostly editorial assignments, full time for 3 years. I wanted to illustrate something of my own that would have a longer shelf life than the magazine pieces that I was doing, so I decided to slow down, get away from everything and see what I could come up with.

In the winter of 1995 I took a two-month trip to India with some sketchbooks and art supplies. I spent about a year there traveling around the country when I was twenty-one, which was a lot of fun, very inspiring, and influenced my work a lot, especially my sense of color. I decided to go back to some of my favorite places in the south, including Madras, Pondicherry, Madurai, and Mahabalipuram, and just meander around, see some sights, relax, write and draw. At first I tried coming up with more traditional stories written in prose, but I found myself more attracted to short pieces in the spirit of the nonsense verse I loved as kid–Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, Ogden Nash, Peter Newell and others.
