Doug Lockyer

So the dot-com bubble had burst, the towers had fallen and crushed another enterprise, and with the state of Israel as doug's latest (and last) technology client, America invades some largely uninvolved pockmark in the Middle East.

Exit Israel as a paying client (they were saving up for gas masks and Patriot missiles, go figure).

Doug gets the bright idea of turning the 38th Street studio space into a late nite bar/club.

The following images were designed as decorations for the club, which traded as a not-for-profit debating society, called Dissent. (1st Amendment protection and a legal workaround for the NYC smoking ban). Suggestion for NYC's next legislative coup...the "Bullshit Free Air Act". There would be some daaaaamn quiet establishments.

The city's bravest and finest engendered a little dissent of their own however, so Doug, recently chastened, is back to designing and illustrating for a living. (Actually he is pretty much living off his wife's income, so gifts of money, food stamps, or the odd paying commission are welcome. Please, no flowers.)
