Thanks Columbus, GA! What a great time at

Great speakers, inspiring content, and a community of talented creatives from all around!

No better way to create - great day at with my amazing daughter .neary. Drawing veggies and flowers. It’s Spring, y’all.

Who doesn’t love a lobster that plays hoops? No friend of mine!

I illustrated Crusher back when they were called the Red Claws! Love seeing him still in use. Looking tough, - Go Maine! 🦞💚🏀

Hello design world. PANTONE just released the color of the year, Cloud Dancer. What are your thoughts?

From Pantone:
“A Whisper of Tranquility and Peace in a Noisy World
Introducing Pantone Color of the Year 2026, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection. A billowy white imbued with serenity, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer encourages true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe, making room for innovation.

With its expansive presence, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer invites a space where function and feeling intertwine to build atmospheres of serenity and spaciousness, providing a refuge of visual cleanliness that inspires well-being and lightness.”

Certainly, it does invite the notion of maybe too simple, too clean, and not much of a point of view at all. After all, is it just a flavorless off-white?

I have to say, I dig it. More than anything, I love the notion of it. The idea of quiet and a refuge from the noise feels pretty needed right now.

And being the silly designer-illustrator at heart that I am, I had to create this little dude just for fun. Lighthearted and simple - that’s how I see this color of the year.

What do you think of the Pantone color of the year?
