I was given the opportunity to do the art for the CCS class of 2011's diploma this year. Every year the school asks an artist to do the art, and I was more than thrilled to do it.
I have been thinking about UFOs a lot lately... mostly because of my favorite podcast
Mysterious Universe. I also recently watched
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (I had forgotten just how good it was) ... and obviously that's where I leapt from. It may be hard to see, but the mascot of CCS is the school's "founder" Inky Solomon. He's wearing a thought projection helmet, where he's seeing a four panel strip about the work of a cartoonist student. The aliens are reinterpreting it the only way they know how.
It was really fun to do, and I'm thrilled to have done such a document for all my friends there in Vermont. Such a great class.
Congratulations 2011!

Your diploma made Claire and I watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind last night. Pretty epic stuff!
Very cool!
