Ping Pong Emojis

My good friend illustrator/animator Sebaldo took this slightly manic but ever so friendly Ping Pong character of mine (previously seen in a project I worked on with NYT for Kids / Google) and brought it to life.

I couldn’t look into those eyes and tell them they were alone so I ended up designing a whole set of ping pong emoji pals.

Courier

Stepping away at the right time and knowing how to fire. Two skills not familiar to me as an illustrator but apparently fairly important if you’re the founder of a startup. These two illustrations for Courier were the lasts thing I created before stepping out of 2020 hell and right into this fresh 2021 hell ???.

Out Now

Today is release day!

It’s crazy thinking back to last year, and the time spent finishing up the final batch of the illustrations. It would have been so hard to believe we’d be here today, in this new version of the world, where we’re celebrating the launch of the book and football is waiting on the sidelines hoping for an opportunity to get back into the action.

It’s still pretty exciting to think of people finally getting their hands on a copy 🙂
