Wired Ran a quick post about Crocodile Creek Placemats and featured my USA map on their GEEK DAD Blog. Thanks Wired! I am currently working on a new placemat and puzzle due out next year. I can’t wait for everyone to see it! Stay Tuned! 

I just noticed my Kid Robot Zipper Pulls are also available online at Urban Outfitters.

risd|works has my RISD Campus print available for sale on their site. If you are ever in lovely Providence, Rhode Island, check out their amazing shop and new location. At risd|works all items are designed and made by Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) alumni and faculty!

They are finally here and available on Kid Robot’s website! Please take some home and play with them!

Mascot Studio ( 328 E. 9th st, NYC) is having their 10th Annual Dog Show. The show features Dog inspired art from myself, Chris Buzelli, Peter McCaffrey, Anne Watkins and more! If you are in the East Village stop by and say hi to Peter and check out the work. I have been working on a new series of dog pieces that I’ll show later in the year!

Just got these first pics back of the Kid Robot Zipper Pulls. The series should be available starting this month .. stay tuned!

After 2 years of working with the amazing people at Kidrobot. My Zipperpulls will finally be released at the end of February. Once they come out I will update the site with images and info on them. There will be 26 different pulls to collect as well as some bags and such to complete the release. I am so excited to have collaborated with KR !

Happy 2009 everyone. I hope everyone’s year is off to a good and healthy start. I just got back from  2 weeks in Japan. It was amazing. Be sure to stay tuned to some new inspired work.  I am also excited to have just completed this cover for Seattle Metropolitan magazine. I love the Pacific Northwest and hope to visit there again soon.

Don’t look now, but the holidays are approaching fast! I just noticed that my first set of holiday cards I made a few years back are available online at Fredflare.com.

I have 2 more card sets that I’ll post a bit later, but if you have 16 pals or co-workers… this greeting tin might come in handy. You can also reuse the tin container for storing ornament hooks or dog treats. Happy (early) Holidays!

My letter ” A” is included in the new Spelling Change website.  Have a look as there are some amazing artists and designers that lent there time to this cause. It is pretty cool to see how creative teh solutions were for making a statement with just a letter. I was always a horrible speller in grade school but I do indeed know how to spell change.. I’d like to start with buying a vowel please!
