The Year of the Snake, Feb 4th 2013

I started working with Leo Burnett in June of 2012 to develop an image for McDonald's Lunar New Year promotions. In 2013, it's the Year of the Snake. As a kid, I remember celebrations always meant traditional red envelopes with money and savoring my favorite sweet sticky rice cake called nian gao. 2013's snake happens to be a Water Snake. The river flows through time connecting past and present. And of course, no Chinese New Year is complete without fireworks! The final image is about 30 x 40 inches. The top image is a detail of the overall poster.

Eyes of the Tiger

1 pair of eyes for each member in the band—the newest Leche de Tigre illustration.

Instant Gratification

I've been working on several projects which won't be released for quite some time. The funny thing about illustration is that sometimes you never see your work in the context for which it was commissioned. But I get instant gratification on the side—Leche de Tigre has kept me busy with show posters. Here's the latest for Cinco de Mayo. A butterfly, inspired by fighting kites. Speaking of flying, I'm about to take off for a few days to San Francisco. Looking forward to exploring new galleries and visiting old haunts. Until April...
