Creating the look and style, as well as the characters, Friend has just completed art directing a new spot for St. Joseph Cancer Institute in Maryland with animation house, FlickerLab. A fully hand painted animation, the commercial was first animated traditionally, then painted digitally with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter to achieve a stop-motion painted look.

Samhain 2007 Poster
October 21st, 2007
Friend has created the new poster for Drama of Works‘ Carnival of Samhain, a puppet & variety show post-halloween celebration presented at the Henry Street Settlement.
Continuing with his series of demon animals (the alligator wrestler, the aeroelephantologist), the fire breathing bear unfortunetly has no trainer. In fact, many have tried to tame the beast, but to deadly consequences.
Friend will be performing his puppet show The Typist in this festival all four days (Nov 1st - 4th)
