Yes, a new badger is born: a Killer Badger.
The popularity of my hot rod and muscle car illustrations has grown faster than I could have imagined when I started freelance work four years ago. It's become so strong that I've recently decided to split out that part of my business into its own entity.
The result? The Killer Badger Illustration Studio.
It just makes sense to me that my traditional illustration work should be marketed separately from the rather specialized field of hot rod and custom car illustration. I'm not going to sacrifice one for the other - in fact keeping both segments operating at full tilt is what makes the Agile Badger so agile.
The image you see here marks the new look of my hot rod business. In the next month or so, I'll be launching a new website with my snarling little friend here as the gate keeper on the landing page. It's going to be a showcase of full-throttle, tire-smokin', red-line-revvin' hot rods.
Now back to the drawing board.

14 Jaunty Jackalopes for Ubuntu User Magazine
One of the more fun aspects of my job is the surprise - no, astonishment - that comes from the bizarre variety of subjects I'm sometimes hired to illustrate. Who'd a-thunk when I started freelance work nearly four years ago that one day I'd get paid to draw a pit bull with an Afro? Or a donkey standing in a Mexican restaurant?
And the fun just keeps on coming. I've just finished a series of spot illustrations for the first print issue of Ubuntu User Magazine. Sound normal so far? Did I mention that each one was a cartoon jackalope engaged in various computer software activities?
This one is "Burning CDs."
The theme for the Ubuntu release featured in this inaugural issue was Jaunty Jackalope. The editors asked me for twelve drawings that would illustrate several of the functions and activities featured in this free OS for home computing. They liked them enough to ask me for two more!
Here's a slideshow of all 14 illustrations.
