| Blog: | Drawing for Comic Books Monday, 15 June 2009 New challenge is always exciting and stimulating. I have started illustrating for DC Comics Vertigo's new monthly series The Unwritten. Drawing for comic books require different way of thinking, like how to interpret the story and characters my own way without going too far out from the interior.
These and more new works up on my website. 
 Diapers!!! Wednesday, 29 April 2009 Swedish baby product manufacturer Libero asked me to design their Spring limited edition diapers. (Yes, really, diapers!!) They are not your usual cutsy-colorful diapers. They are diapers for cool moms and dads (and of course, cool babies.)
You can watch commercial film and "making of"video on their site. 
  INQ Mobile now in Asia Wednesday, 25 March 2009 A while ago, I worked with UK based new mobile phone company INQ Mobile on their packaging. Now, this Facebook friendly phone targeted toward younger generation is landing in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This photo is from the last week's The Apple Daily, one of the biggest local newspapers in Hong Kong.
show & talk in Xalapa, Mexico Wednesday, 04 March 2009 New York is really cold this week. I am excited (and a bit nervous) to fly out to Xalapa, Mexico in about ten days to have a talk and show at Amarillo Centro de Diseño. Lecture is scheduled on March 14th. Looking forward to meeting Mexican illustrators and designers.
for details of the event, please check their blog. 
many faces of Abe Monday, 09 February 2009 Here is NY Times Book Review cover from yesterday. Fun to have many different illustrators drawing the same person with same color scheme, and come up with all these variety of images.
