I recently did a fun new project from ESPN (I only deal with little clients these days) which tested my cartoony Street-Pop or COJO STYLE as well as my REALISTIC STYLE. In the 2nd annual ESPN FANTASY FOOTBALL GUIDE, I was asked to illustrate the Fantasy Football "Owners Guide" which gives tips on how to created a better fantasy football team.

I don't play fantasy football myself, but the gist of it is that you create a fake team with players from all different teams, and then based on what stats your players get in their various games throughout the actual season, determines how good your fantasy team does in your league (you play against your friends who have their own fake teams too.

Oddly enough, I did design the character / icon / logo for a fantasy football site a few years ago called FLEAFLICKER.com which is still in use to this day.



This was such a fun job. Much thanks and props are deserved for the great art direction by ESPN's Kathie Scrobanovich. Thanks Kathie!



Artsucks.com tracks the f_cked-up visual life and mind of COJO ART JUGGERNAUT (MAXIM, ROLLING STONE, VIBE), a Gen-X artistic zeitgeist trudging the streets of Manhattan (Philly, Vegas, Bklyn, etc...), gnawing on the big rotten apple for all it's worth, and getting drunk on the cider. . .
Celebrity encounters, industry parties, the ins and outs of the art world, paparazzi, models, and deranged homeless people bathing in their own urine. No topic is safe, and the unusual is commonplace. . .
Grab your sketchbook, skirt the velvet rope and take a walk with the beautiful people!
