David Sheldon

david sheldonWhat’s it with me and retro stylings with a hip upgrade? I really dig David Sheldon’s work. An illustrator and animator, you may recall seeing his nifty work for Nick at Night and Old Navy, but my favorites are the Spumco commercials he designed for “Log.” (Yes, there were more than one!) Brilliant character design and color, I have to say. Be sure to stop by the “Television” page to view all his animations in Quicktime. Fun!

David also has illustrated for various publications and books and one of my daughter’s favorite new books is “Pig Giggles and Rabbit Rhymes,” a silly, goofy rhyming romp with animals. More fun!

    It figures it’s you, Ward, who put up this post. I first saw David’s stuff in an office at Spumco circa 1991-some Easter Bunny card/poster thing he’d done, as a self-promotion, I think. This guy was way ahead of the curve, wasn’t he? Like-about 16 years ahead! And it still looks fresh & tasty!

    Thanks for posting it!

    I hope this note gets to David Sheldon. I want to say a huge Texas thank you for the wonderful, fun jacket that you did for me and my book from Delacorte/Random House: PUPPET PANDEMONIUM.

    The illustration could not be more perfect and I just love it. You captured the essence of fun that my puppets, Ricky Raccoon, Ella Pearl, and Chicken Licken, have surrounding them. I just love the jacket cover. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I want to have David Sheldon do more OLD NAVY commercials for kids, and I want him to have all of the characters of the OLD NAVY commercials to be in a console RPG, using the battle systems and monsters of Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI.

    Trust me… David Sheldon is AWESOME!!!!
