My New Blog

Hey guys,

Blogger has been very good to me for all these years, but I've decided to give Tumblr a shot.  It seems to have some nicer features and I like that I can update from my iPhone through an app.  I will keep this blog live for a while, maybe forever, but for now I am going to make new posts to luzzi.tumblr.com.  I wanted to thank all you guys for the positive feedback and comments and I hope you can follow me over to my new blog as I really appreciate your support.

Thanks,
Mike

A Few Good Dogs... and Cats

The campaign I am working on at my job has been calling for a lot of dogs in the spots lately, and a few cats.  here's a sampling of the dogs and cats I have designed for this campaign.

Why I hate the wind...

This is literally what it was like walking home today... I did this in my tiny sketchbook and really wanted to clean this one up because this happens every time it rains in the city. I feel like I have to use my umbrella as a wind/ rain shield and just block the insane sideways rain as i walk home. It's always like this, always blowing full force the opposite way I am going! Either that or I am moving so fast it seems that way. Hmmmm...

Oz

This version of Oz is inspired by his return in "Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz" which I recently read. I intend to do a lot more studies on him, so stay posted... I added a few more I did on the train on my way home... Also, here is a sketch of "the Shaggy Man"
