The FBI is here to investigate and solve illustrative crime.
I've seen a lot of case study sites. Most are kind of boring and far too serious so I wanted to avoid that. I am happy to announce the launch of a new micro-site for my own case studies called "Federal Bureau of Illustration."
The site is done tongue-in-cheek playing off the metaphor of the FBI. There are a total of seven case files in the archive right now and I'll add more as time goes on so subscribe to the sites RSS feed to be notified of new case files being posted.
The site is also geared to allow anyone to become a field agent and earn a cut of every lead they submit that turns into an actual case being opened. For all the specifics about becoming a field agent just visit the site.
FBI Headquarters, Pacific Northwest.
Back in September of 2007 I replaced my studio door with one shown above. This was the spark of inspiration that led to the "Federal Bureau of Illustration" and serves as the headquarters and Oregon field office.
I hope you enjoy the new site and consider becoming a field agent in your territory. The FBI needs you!

I love the name! I did want to mention though although this could be pure hearsay, I think there is a legal reason people do not use the initials FBI. I know they sell it on cutesy shirts and all kinds of other things but I would be very careful. Otherwise you might end up with the real FBI knocking on your door.
Hilarious! And clever. Great idea (inviting others to help generate leads). I hope you get lots of "field agents" and "cases"! (I'm a candidate for identity crime, myself, but planning to remedy the situation myself... *grin*)
Been enjoying the blog for a while. Keep up the great work.
I've been considering a logo design like that for a while now, always being a "bird nerd", but decided to move in a different direction. love the logo though.
definitely be checking this site regularly, and may become a field agent.
Very clever - let's hope the "field agent" submitting the lead doesn't work for the company they're submitting for. Then it becomes an ethics issue.
Actually that is a very good point. I am going to alter the "Agent Brief" to clarify that so as to avoid it. Thanks for pointing that out.
