This is my latest illustration in my weekly children's book project I've been working on, titled Robot Alphabet. This is letter E, for Robots Eat. This is actually based on a classic poster from the mid-20th century (the original of which can be seen here). As always, if you're interested in keeping tabs on my progress, you can find my regulary updated blog here. Also, here is a link to my other portfolio site.

If anybody's been following along with my weekly robot ABC book project, you might have noticed that I missed posting what should have been the letter D last week. That's because my entire family (myself included) was hit by one nasty case of the flu. Well, I'm back from death's door, and this is what would have been week four: Robots Dive. You can check out the rest of my progress at my blog, Robot Alphabet. You can also always check out other work I've done and other news-worthy events at my portfolio site/blog: Mark Hammer Designs.

Hey everyone, it's week two and my Robot Alphabet book is progressing nicely. If you missed out on my earlier post, the short version is that I am in the process of illustrating my first children's book. Each week I'll be illustrating another letter until I reach the letter Z, after which time I'll be self-publishing the book. Here is B for Blast-off. Hope you like it. If you'd like to track my progress you can always check out my new weekly blog here.

Here's a little sneak peak of a logo I'm working on for an organization of dads who want to become more involved in their kids' lives. The guy who started the organization suggested using an eagle. After much deliberation, I decided that an eagle just didn't have the fatherly connotation I was looking for.

I've been reading the new Harry Potter book (really good, by the way). One thing that's been driving me up the wall are the number of people who want to spoil the ending for me. I've gone out of my way to avoid spoilers on the Internet, but I've still been running into people who come up to me and say "You want to know who dies?" The answer is a resounding NO! Anyway, since I've had Harry on the brain, I decided to work up my own little illustration in Illustrator.

This one is kind of a cheat since I just posted this image yesterday. But a friend of mine looked at my little recruitment poster and instantly zeroed in on what was missing: "There really ought to be some incentive for joining up, don't you think?" I agree, hence the green girl. The texture I added to this poster was a freebie provided by the brilliant Von Glitschka. If you're not familiar with Von's work, you owe it yourself to check it out.

There's an awesome new art show I stumbled coming soon featuring some of the finest illustrators in the country. The title? The Shatner Show, all art featuring Captain Kirk himself. After seeing all the amazing work on this site, I couldn't help but be inspired to come up with my own Shatner-inspired illustration.
