Brizzly is a web-based Twitter application. On top of it being a cool product, Brizzly was developed by a few friends of mine (Thing Labs), whom I’ve known for years. Below documents some of the fun illustration work I’ve been doing for them!

To the left you’ll see the original illustration of Phineas, the mascot for Brizzly, that they used to launch in beta. They liked this little guy, a bear wearing a turquoise bird suit (a nod to the Twitter bird), but they wanted to clean him up & make him more unique for their brand.

Below are some of the finished illustrations I’ve delivered thus far. They hired me to clean him up (clean up the vectors, make his parts moveable, so that he may be animated in the future, etc). As well they wanted to dress him up in different costumes and place him in different fun scenes & scenarios for their various service offerings (Let’s Be Trends, Brizzly Pics and FaceBook connect, to name a few).

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the *new & improved* Phineas bear!

(note: we’re still working on this little ‘bird buddy’ character)

The following illustrations haven’t been published yet,
but were mocked up for the Brizzly pics feature

Note that some of these illustrations are still works in progress. That said, I wanted to create a page to start showing them off to friends & clients who are asking.
