Projects for 2018

What will 2018 bring for the work? How will I reach people? We'll see. Above is a shot of my work desk and some reworked older pieces. Showing these on and off in Soho they didn't sell. This doesn't bother me at all as I like them (the one with the rabbit I really liked). However, I've gone back and worked them more yesterday. I'm so much less attached to the work - it's about working not the finished piece.

Otterjet - back to painting - and selling artwork

Sampling of SOLD work this year. I've been selling work in Soho in NYC (Prince Street between Wooster and Greene) this last year.  A little randomly - once a week - once every other week. The work is mostly small - nothing larger than 1 x 1 foot. It's a great feeling to sell a work - knowing that someone now has your work hanging in their space. Much of the work has gone to international destinations - Russia, Italy, England, Australia, Argentina, and German (so far).

I'm also selling work online at otterjet.com as well as etsy.com/shop/Otterjet .

There are some good people on Prince Street putting in more time than me:

The Roots - The Seed - ft. Cody ChesnuTT

Classic.

Graphic Design - Be Camel

30 min graphic design projects (no reason). Camel - seems thoughtful - really don't have any idea if he/she is but we only need to take the time to be thoughtful and if an image of a camel reminds us of that then here's to camel.

Graphic Design - Tuna

Planning a series of down and dirty graphic design projects.  Maybe keep these to 1/2 hour or so. This one was inspired by seeing some live tuna fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I'd always assumed tuna looked majestic, like swordfish...but no they are odd looking creatures.

Milton 5.0 Ad - Rap

The latest Milton 5.0 commercial - by Dru Vocals - you can hire him here.

Milton 5.0, Milton 5.0
Drawn by Tim Thayer, if you don't know, you better go
CPU is a robot and Milton is a duck
Henry is a rabbit with criminal cousins going at it
It's hand drawn, three times a week online
It's got insecurity, arrogance, blind faith, helplessness and crime
Laziness, egotism, randomness, the meek vs. the mighty
Milton's car, you need to check it out and try it
1 year strong, come on reddit.com
Where's the comments and love, cuz laughs, it's got more than some
A spin-off from Three Feet, Tim got his Suburban in the street
And this comic strip is cool man, just like this beat
If you like Charles Schulz, Robert Crumb and Dr. Seuss
Then you just gotta see Milton doing what he do
Black and white, but I love it, random humor, jumping bunnies
Speech balloons I be reading always being so funny
Tim's From Cali to NYC and now upstate for 20 years
Pen and ink, laugh it up, Milton 5.0 that's what's up

yea..milton 5.0 check it out..laugh it up online comic strip

Three Feet

Before Milton 5.0 I created the strip Three Feet.  CPU was first introduced in Three Feet.  I also used this sample here as it was "hand colored" (watercolor).  I'd currently love to colorize Milton 5.0 but don't have the time. I'd probably add color to Milton 5.0 in Photoshop - but maybe watercolor is the way to go?
