Society of Illustrators Exhibition

This poster, created last year for the lovely people at Thompson Creative, will be on display at the Museum of American Illustration in New York City, for the Society of Illustrators Annual Exhibition. I have had illustrations featured in this show numerous times and it is always an honor to have my work selected by the jury. The gala is great, as well, but I can't attend this year.

Happy New Year

The year started off nicely with some great assignments. I neglected to post my Poetry magazine cover a few months ago. Working for Poetry is a feather in my cap because of its rich history of illustrated covers. Thanks to all of the art directors and designers for these jobs.



This is my most recent cover for The Spectator. The cover story suggests that a possible side effect of the circus of the G.O.P. race is that it will make Obama more of a heavyweight contender in the presidential race.



My second eBook cover for Alicia Morga.



My first cover for Poetry. I couldn't be happier with this commission.



This illustration for The Wall Street Journal was for a funny story about food snobs. Apparently, a woman bought and cooked a $500 truffle for her husband, only to discover that he would have been happier eating a hot dog.



This is my first full-page illustration for the English magazine, Port.



Finally, a poster for the musical, Urinetown, for High Point University Theatre. I highly recommend seeing this show - it is very funny.

Long Overdue Post of New Work

Here are drawings for the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, The Spectator, MAXIM, The New Yorker, Phoenix New Times, Remodeling, and more. Thanks to all the lovely A.D.s. And, to everybody out there who reads this blog, I wish you a happy holiday season.

Early Fall Work Roundup

Lots to post so I'll get right to it!



This eBook cover was a blast - thanks to long time clientFriend, Alicia for this job.



I'm proud to participate in the wonderful website, Help Ink by creating this limited edition silkscreen poster. Help Ink sells art with a twist - part of the proceeds go to a charity of your choice. Thanks to Robert and Drew for getting me involved.



Big thanks to Richard at the New York Times for this big section opener. This story is pretty interesting and you can read it here.



These sports spots were created for Greg over at the Boston Globe. This was a great chance for me to experiment with a slightly different style that I would like to employ more often with spot illustrations.



Here is a poster for High Point University Theatre for Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night.' After looking at other artwork for this play, I noticed that nobody ever focused on the great feeling of mystery and adventure that sets up the action: a shipwreck, a lost soul ... this seemed to be fertile ground for an illustration so I ran with it. This piece was definitely inspired by my hero, Hergé. Thanks to Jay and Ed for this assignment.



Finally, here is a quarter page illustration for Scientific American on the subject of rude and nasty employees having a ripple effect on the lives of their coworkers. Thanks to Patti for this job - my first for the magazine!

Goodbye to A Hero

Late Summer Roundup of Work

I think I have too many blogs these days, and that is why I have neglected this one! Here are projects for many different clients (Adweek, Wall Street Journal, Bicycling, Hanleywood, Boston Globe, Family Circle, Aflac, Los Angeles Magazine, and more) and I will be posting a series of Theater posters later this week, as well.

Happy Summer!

I hope you are all taking time off this summer and not working straight through. That is not healthy.

Here are some recent drawings for The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Spectator, Aflac, LA Weekly, Guide, and Aperture Cinema. I also drew Harry Potter for my Daily Figure blog.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

This is a poster created for the lobby of the BEST indy cinema in the country, APERTURE. I will be posting two more illustrated posters from this series soon. Thanks to Lawren for the idea. Support your local indy cinemas, people!

Long Overdue Post of New Work

Busy drawing pictures and no time to post! Below: a cover for Adweek, portraits for the Washington Post, an illustration for Hanleywood, a Boston Globe 'g' cover, a cover for UNCG Magazine, a crazy drawing with horses, a dog, and a nearly trampled boy (?!), a food cover for Westword, and spots for WIRED. More to come! ADs: Nick, Brandon, Pete, Kim, Lyda, Jay, and Martin. Happy almost summer, everybody!
