Housetace Tilley, a reinterpretation of the New Yorker's famous mascot drawn for this year's Eustace Tilley Contest.  It didn't win, but I sure had fun making it.

My entry, "Schach Treatment",  (above) was one of the twelve winning designs for the 2009 competition, and it's the only one of my entries that ever made it to the finals. (These aren't actual New Yorker magazine covers, just designs conforming to the contest's parameters.)
