Zerflin

real. good. design. What does the name “Zerflin” mean? We get asked that question a lot. Yeah, we’re smart like that. Anyway, we digress.
The company was named Zerflin for exactly that reason: everyone asks about it. If we get your interest in something as simple as the name, we’re just another step to being in your office, or living room, or wherever it is that you make the decision to hire people. If you really want to know, the word “Zerflin” came from a name of a cartoon alien Benjamin drew as a kid. The creature had three eyes, and lived in a world where everything “Zerflin-made” was based on 3 and 5, rather than on 2 and 4 as in our world. It easily became not only the name, but also the philosophy behind the company. Things designed around the number 3 and 5 have always seemed unique to cultures throughout the ages, from Asian, to African, to modern Western design. We strive to design things that are unique by doing everything by hand, and producing original work. We hope this clears up the matter.

It's National Comic Book Day.
Meet April, a bounty hunter I drew in a sketchbook on a whim. She did a short stint as a record label's mascot, then went right back to the bounty work.

Dolly Parton, 1946-2026.
Of all the people I've drawn, she's one of the very few who ever saw their own portrait. Here she is with the piece I made of her, built around her own words: "If you see someone without a smile, give 'em yours." She spent her whole life doing exactly that.
Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for the songs and the light.
