Space Age Jewelry

The co-writer of the Laszlo and Zazie Adventure book, thought Sputnik and soviet space ships would be perfect for the book signing on Yuri's Night.

So Sputniks, Progress, Booster Rockets,Vostock and Voshod and other  satellites were printed.

Vikings and Nessie


 Last year's trip to the Orkney Islands -- 
I needed Vikings, Neolithic People and Loch Nessie as gifts to the northern spirits.
So designed and printed -- in to the luggage-- to be left in Scotland.

Burning Safari Robots

Burning Safari is a student movie that was  made in Paris a couple of years ago ---I got files for the robot from W. Trebutein  and made a bunch of them--- too cute-- and I always liked the layout for printing.

The production line up-- one is at the Derneir Bar in Paris-- and of course William got one.
