Short story: Japanese kids show character, plus Finder icon variants.

Long story: There's a Japanese kids show called 「おかあさんといっしょ」 "Okaasan to Issho", or "With Mother" that I watch every morning with my son. It's the longest-running children's show in Japan. Over the years, the cast of actors changes. Occasionally, they show clips of earlier seasons. The presenter of these old clips is this television character. I don't think he has an official name, so I'm calling him Terebi Ojisan (Uncle TV).

Since this guy is so obscure, I also drew him as a Finder icon, including variants like Pry-style (Jonas Rask) and Black System (ve).

FreeHand CS5 beta for the shapes (just kidding), Cinema 4D for the depth, Photoshop for the polish.

Enjoy!
