A raccoon on a motorcycle laments over being a poser, a sloth finds itself exhilerated after a bike ride, and a raging cat screams that, despite its snarling teeth, it’s not angry. The self-conscious, awkward, and excitable creatures are the latest additions to Ravi Zupa’s growing cast of characters, which follow earlier illustrations featuring a pack of self-deprecating dogs and a herd of disorderly, drunken cats.
Zupa tells Colossal that he’s spent the last few months riding his bike near his home in Commerce City, Colorado, each morning—rain, snow, or sunshine—and this dedication has translated to his work. Many of his recent prints and greeting cards feature animals mid-cycle as they contemplate their television habits and whether their helmet really does make them look corny.
Currently, Zupa is preparing for a solo show opening in June at Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles. His work will also be included in a group exhibition opening in July at Harman Projects in New York City. Shop prints and greeting cards featuring the illustrations shown here on his site.

WAKAKIRRI is a national event with around 250 schools and 20,000 children participating every year.
This year they wished to have a T-shirt designed so they could sell it at their nationwide events along with other national materials & event merchandise.
Final Sloth Illustration
The end result was a stylised sloth drawing which was also the signature item for the year doing the WAKA hand sign. The sloth was supplied as a full-colour version as well as a black and white illustration.
The sloth illustration was used for:
