Retuta's Tumblr

Who Be He?
They call him Phillip Retuta. He calls himself a visual & interactive designer, motion graphics artist, and illustrator -- an all-around artist. He's 29 years old, from Chicago, living in NYC, and has a lovely husky-lab mix named Nico. Currently employed as Senior Designer at a digital and social media firm.

What's All This Then?
Well, it's a fairly random tumblog of current and upcoming art endevours, photographs, comic sketches, creative philosophies, inspirations, and generally incomplete art projects.

So yeah, it's like a sketchbook.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Highlight of the Day: 2012.08.25: Tattoo. on Flickr.

So Alex returned to East River Tattoo. to get her tattoo done by Sue, and I decided I might as well get one myself. When I first came to East River in April, I was looking through Sue’s portfolio, and I fell in love with this drawing of a bandaged up cat; to me, it’s the embodiment of remaining positive despite all the hardships, misfortunes, and struggles. Now fast forward a few months later, and I got it.

According to Sue, the cat represents her idea of New York City: this city will beat you up, but you’re happy to be here. I couldn’t agree more.
