  • @646t00er What is this "book of fears" you speak of? I cannot find such a book which he illustrated.

  • @Simphany ahhaah I thought alike, seeing him smiling at us. I guess since it is a "promotional video", he needs to shows off his RISD prestige. But I love his work and for a short vid, it has very inspiring info.

  • why is this video so nooooooooob!

    Stop putting in cut away shots in the middle of it. Stop breaking the 4th wall. I'm perfectly intent with watching a well-lite speech.

  • The Spielberg of childrens' books. In other words, the master of the artificial, the plastic, the homogenized, the carefully calculated sentimental lowbrow patina that is acceptable to mass culture.

  • Cheers, Chris. Great to hear your words of wisdom resonate again even 27 years since "Design Your Own Country". Great illustration class in 1982. Great memories of RISD.

  • I love him! Thanks

  • You were my illustration teacher in 79-80, Chris.

    I always refer to your "teachings"...and cameo paper.

    I remember your illustrated "book of fears."

    Cheers,

    -DR

    P.S. Like the beard touching touch.
