Mang was spotted here in Fort Greene Brooklyn. I wonder if their security system caught Mang in the act of vandalizing, I mean beautifying, their sign?

Mr. Dave Hotchkiss brought Mango Airlines to my attention. Check out their typeface, it is identical to Mang’s handwriting! Can you spot the difference between the two photos?
I submitted this drawing into the NYU Art Show. It will be on display at the NYU Kimmel Center 8th floor through early June 2010. Medium is pencil on 20″ x 40″ canvas board. Will post a high res version once I get it back from the art show.
Hedgehog in the Fog is a classic Russian animation by Yuri Norstein (1975). A coworker of mine, a Georgian designer, introduced me to Yuri Norstein’s works a couple years back. He is definitely one of my favorite animators and a source of inspiration. I love the feeling of this animation, the characters and artwork. As an animator, I really appreciate how incredibly difficult it is to create something this nuanced, sophisticated and beautiful. A true masterpiece and one of my all time favorite animations!
A sweet oldies jam from Chess Records. Mama Didn’t Lie was written by Curtis Mayfield and released in 1963. It got up to #8 R&B and #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Major Lance has a similar song “Mama Didn’t Know” which is also great.
