10% Challenge

These lawn signs can be seen throughout my town. Homeowners displaying them are participating in a local program designed to reduce their energy-use by 10 % over the next year. Partners in this project include the town of Red Hook, Bard College, and Central Hudson Power. Homeowners like myself learn great tips about saving energy - and money. A few years back, I contributed illustrations for this worthy endeavor. Here's a little retrospective...

I've always been a geek for unique t-shirt designs. When my former agent, Gerald & Cullen Rapp, approached their stable of illustrators to submit ideas for their annual tee-shirt promotion, I jumped at the chance. They wanted a positive/optimistic image that coincided with the fresh start of a new year. I focused  my thought process on something near and dear to my heart, environmental themes.

Sam Scali, who handled this assignment, really liked the flower-bike idea, for it's sunny disposition. This image resonates with me because it gives new meaning to that old hippie adage, Flower Power!

PS. Here are a few New Year's t-shirt concepts that I started with:
