Well, the time has finally come to reveal what the “super secret freelance project” that took me away from working on the puppet film was! I was contracted to be the Puppet Designer for the new Nike commercials that are currently running on ESPN and other stations!

More will be coming — I designed something like 20 different puppets for seven different spots which will trickle out over the Basketball season. It was a lot of fun and totally worth using up all my DIRECTV vacation time to take part in it. It really got me thinking about drawing again (I was averaging about 108 sketches a day), so I may start getting my portfolio together.

I guess I’ve finally discovered my niche: a cartoonist that can draw puppets.

In the following commercial, I came up with the look for all of the puppets except Kobe, LeBron and Lil Dez (which were designed for last year’s campaign). As soon as the campaign is over, I should be able to post some of the sketches that lead to the final designs. Enjoy!
