Publishers/Editors, I've added two new pages to my portfolio, COVER DESIGN: Animation chrismcd.com/cover-design... and COVER DESIGN: Pop Culture chrismcd.com/cover-design.... Check out these pages which feature rough directions that were part of the design process, many never shared before.
There is also a deluxe edition with clamshell box, glossy portraits, and an additional book with set photos, plus the book.
The new LAIKA art book is here from Rizzoli, check it out and order it from your local bookstore!
Latest book that I designed, LAIKA: The Magic Behind a Stop-Motion Dream Factory by Ozzy Inguanzo is featured in the March 2026 issue of Animation Magazine! #laika @animag.bsky.social
Drawing in the dark getting pretty psyched for the electricity to come back on
Taking a moment to appreciate copy/paste as someone whose early school reports were typed on WordStar (after the electric typewriter was demoted). I have a sixth-sense when I have copied something to my clipboard a while back and haven't yet pasted it. It weighs on me, sitting there.
Clip that seems relevant that I animated for Lady Dynamite on Netflix ten years ago. That's a funny show, you should go watch it.
Older art. Here's GO FOR THE GOLD #4 wraparound cover art I did for our Meathaus sketchbook anthology in 2013 featuring these two kinds of creatures that exist in some kind of weird ecosystem where the big ones suction and dehydrate the little guys into powder to lay their eggs on them.
Older art I haven't posted here yet! Here's Jeffro K's Petey the turtle kid slaying the Subway Dragon from over a decade ago at least.
ANTIFA Bugs Drew this one a while ago. Everything MAGA does is a test to see how uncritical and subservient their followers are. Antifa means ANTI FASCIST. That's a good thing, morons.
