The N's Avi Mall

After many hours of intense illustration and design the Avi Mall launched. Avi Mall is a part of The N's online community which I worked on at Funny Garbage. I worked on the whole mall experience. I designed and illustrated most of the stores, some of the detail elements, the signs, and even the clothes that the avatars are wearing. The process of creating this system was pretty complex so I won't go into that... But I think it came out nicely.

Jimmy Fallon showing off some Feerer work

If you watched Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on May 6th then you probably watched The National rock out their Dark Was The Night song. If you watched The National rock out their Dark Was The night song then that means you saw the album I designed. If you saw the album I designed then you probably smiled. If you didn't smile then I should've done better and I'm sorry.

Ryan Feerer, the Knight of Murkville

If you haven't already done so, go to Illustration Friday and read the interview about Dark Was The Night, my work, and me. I've heard its pretty entertaining.

The Ace Hotel "Play Safe" Room

This "Play Safe" message was created for Dark Was The Night, a Red Hot release celebrating 20 years of dedication to fighting aids through pop culture. We wanted to push the message of preventing aids in a light and non-intrusive manner. Ace Hotel really liked it and wanted it to be featured in one of their rooms... so I did it. I think the placement of the message above the bed is perfect, humorous, and kind of charming in a weird way.

The "Play Safe" illustration will also be featured in Gail Anderson and Steven Heller's latest book entitled New Ornamental Type.
