I revised one more piece of artwork to print then distribute from the artist alley table I’ve jointly rented for this week’s Chicago comic convention, C2E2. For your pleasure, I’ve included the final art, the vector shapes, and the original version.

Kramthology Hardcover Book

Brock Rizy — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:56:34 +0000

I wanted to print a hardcover edition of my favorite material on this site before all of the printers in this country are shuttered, chemically castrated, deported, then sold as food for the retired tween Chinese Olympic gymnasts who may or may not be assembling American electronics in factories with built in suicide prevention landing pads. That, and I needed something to sell from my half of the rented artist alley table at C2E2. Here’s the cover! With guidelines visible for bleed,wrap, joints and spine. The catbear and my dad’s dog Chloe are pictured, coincidentally using one of the aforementioned American electronic devices.Kramthology™ and © Brock Rizy 2012

While at it, this is the business card I’ve prepared to hand out at the convention. With guidelines visible for bleed, trim, and safe area.

peta2 Flesh is for Zombies

In February, I was commissioned to illustrate a logo and a zombie attacking a hapless chicken for peta2′s Flesh is for Zombies campaign. These were the color options I offered them.

Major Robot

Brock Rizy — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 02:32:40 +0000

Eons ago, Major Robot Interactive, who I worked with on the Big Mapple project, hired me to design a graphic robot icon mascot. After an initial cartoonish sketch phase that nearly ended in tears, a new direction was decided on. These were the initial choices I sent for review.

Appealing elements were pointed out, so I offered them another round with similar attributes.

And this was the final choice, which you can see in use on Major Robot’s site. I enjoy that they used the robot’s hand for the User Experience Design icon.
