Long Overdue Post of New Work

2011-12-09T14:29:00.001-05:00

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

2011-10-21T15:50:00.000-04:00

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

2011-08-29T13:47:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-06-20T17:50:00.000-04:00

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

2011-05-24T12:37:00.002-04:00

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

2011-05-10T13:00:00.000-04:00

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!

New York Observer Spring Arts Preview Cover

2011-03-15T21:51:00.000-04:00

Thanks to Ivylise for this cover assignment for a special feature in the New York Observer. I have always wanted to draw Woody Allen and Lady Gaga. It was fun to draw them both in one assignment.

Details:

Big Editorial Update

2011-02-20T15:50:00.001-05:00

Long time no update, thanks to lots of fun assignments. Here are few from the past few weeks for The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Savor North Carolina, and The Spectator. Thank you: Kim, Chris, David, Claudia, Kimberly, Pete and Mary.

Arizona

2011-01-19T09:31:00.000-05:00

It is difficult to illustrate such a horrific story. Thankfully, Peter Storch, the A.D. at the Phoenix New Times, had an interesting and creatively different approach and I was happy to give it a go. He suggested a series of Rorschach print inspired drawings as a response to the tragedy. The cover above and drawings below are very different from my usual work and I am proud of them, though I must say it was an emotionally draining experience creating these illustrations because I had to constantly revisit the details of the story to get ideas for the imagery.

A note about the above image: President Obama said in his memorial speech that Christina Green, the nine year old victim in the shootings, was jumping in rain puddles up in Heaven. That line inspired this drawing.

Happy New Year!

2011-01-07T17:51:00.000-05:00

2011 is off to a fun start. Here are drawings for High Point University Theatre, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, and PlanSponsor. Art directors to thank are Jay, Ed, Joshua, Dan, and SooJin.

Some Early December Drawings

2010-12-17T15:15:00.001-05:00

Here are a few recent illustrations for The Spectator (UK), PlanSponsor, Guide, and The Village Voice (nice A.D.s: Peter, Mary, SooJin, Brandon, Michael). I also drew Boy George (as he has looked in more recent years).

Cover Illustration for The Boston Globe

2010-11-29T14:38:00.002-05:00

Martin Gee's excellent design work really enhanced my drawing on this cover- props to him and thanks, as well for the fun cover assignment. We all know this feeling, right?

Rand Paul for The Spectator

2010-11-18T18:05:00.000-05:00

The English publication, The Spectator, commissioned this portrait of the Tea Party candidate, Rand Paul the week of the elections. I'm including my sketches - I would have preferred that the editor select the sketch with the tea cup, but I suppose it wasn't necessary given the context of the article. I just like the composition a bit better. Anyway, I will be doing more work like this - the response to this illustration has been really good. Nice to try new things! Thanks to Peter for the assignment.

New Drawings for The New Yorker

2010-11-02T12:31:00.000-04:00

Thanks to Jordan for the calls to illustrate Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake and the musician, Howard Fishman. As usual, working for the New Yorker allows me to draw freely with few restrictions.

Plenty of Drawings ... Hooray for Fall!

2010-10-29T15:44:00.001-04:00

Who says print is dead? Come on, folks - look alive, celebrate the printed page! I had a great month with some really fun jobs. Here is a sampling below. Now, go outside and enjoy those leaves!

Here is a fun piece for the Atlantic (thanks, Melissa!) about the other-worldly qualities of the late night TV hosts. I had not done portraits in a while so it was a great assignment for diving back into that kind of work.

And to follow up with another portrait, here is a cover for Nashville Scene (thanks, Elizabeth).

Switching to theatre posters for a moment, here is a slightly darker take on the classic American play, 'Our Town.' Have a close look at the ringer of that bell!

Here is an illustration for one of my all-time favorite clients, Bicycling. This story was about biking to work through city traffic. Thanks to Erin for this one.

This is not a pleasant story- some thugs (hitmen, really) are using cabs to get around town and carry out their hits. The cab drivers are clueless and are sadly also killed sometimes. I hate this kind of stuff. But, it certainly is the kind of subject matter that is fun to draw. Thanks to Pam for this job.

Another round-up of recent work - Overdue!

2010-09-24T19:43:00.000-04:00

The problem with running multiple blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Posterous, newsletters and all the rest of it is two-fold: 1) In order to be seen on the web, you have to make some noise and you have to do it in lots of places and 2) Being seen in lots of places means spending a lot of time maintaining, updating, etc. - and who has the time?!

Anyway, I've neglected this blog for far too long, and here are some recent drawings for many lovely clients: The NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Runner's World, LA Times, UNCSA, Phoenix New Times, Simon & Schuster, LA Weekly, Foothills Brewing, MITRE...

New and Newish Work

2010-08-09T18:27:00.001-04:00

2010-06-25T18:38:00.000-04:00

2009-07-28T09:56:00.002-04:00

Some agents in Hollywood are telling their clients not to come out, for fear that they might lose their fan base. This was a half page illustration for one of my favorite clients, LA Weekly. Darrick- thanks for yet another great assignment!

Kid's Day - Not a Great Idea...

2009-07-16T16:16:00.003-04:00

This was for a story in Cleveland Magazine about 'Kids's Day,' a horrible idea for a holiday, in which kids eat, watch, play whatever they want for an entire day. As you can see, the mom in this scene is not happy. Thanks for a fun job, Jen!

2009-07-09T14:40:00.002-04:00

Two for This Week's New Yorker

2009-06-03T15:20:00.002-04:00

I was thrilled to sell a series of tennis-themed spots to the New Yorker. Additionally, Max gave me a fun color illustration (1/3 page) in the front of the magazine, on the theme of the Muslim Voices Festival.

New Work: New Yorker, BusinessWeek, NY Times

2009-05-21T14:09:00.003-04:00

Thanks to Max, Nick and Aviva for some really fun jobs. The spots for the NY Times Week in Review were quite a challenge: one day turnaround, lots of thinking, and trying to avoid cliches. For the New Yorker piece, I am including a detail - some of the texture and more subtle color doesn't show up when I reduce these images and save them for the web. The BusinessWeek piece accompanied a story about the CEO failing to get the numbers up. The collar thing just 'happened' while I was sketching - luck!

A Series of Opera Poster Illustrations

2009-05-13T09:17:00.004-04:00

These were a real blast to finish and I love working on a cohesive series of images. This style is a slight departure from my standard editorial work. It was fun to experiment and push myself in new directions. Thanks to Troy and Cat for this great job. Go see these performances! Support the arts!

New Site, New Work for New York Times

2009-05-11T16:18:00.003-04:00

Welcome to my new website. As you can see, the layout is the same as the old site, since I was frequently told that art directors liked the design and the set-up. But, I have cleaned things up and added more info, as well as added a few new sections (Lectures and Demos, for instance). Please let me know what you think about the facelift!

Here is a new piece for the NY Times (thanks, as always, to Richard!). This piece accompanies an essay about an old doorman who drops knowledge on passersby and building residents, while standing out front chain-smoking.

New Twitter Art Print for Sale

2009-04-30T11:27:00.002-04:00

NY Times Illustrations

2009-04-22T16:53:00.003-04:00

2009-04-09T08:39:00.002-04:00

Andrew Jackson for The New Yorker

2009-04-07T11:24:00.002-04:00

I'm on Twitter - Big Twirping Deal!

2009-03-24T15:08:00.003-04:00

I've been so hesitant to join Twitter - but I caved. So, anyway, I will make a very strong effort to only post news about current projects, art I like, and inspiring or relevant links. You can follow along here.

NY Times Book Review

2009-03-17T12:47:00.003-04:00

Thanks to Nicholas for my first NYT Book Review assignment. This is a dark novel about wealth, Adam and Eve, boredom, family secrets, infidelity, twins, murder... lots of stuff! I think the drawing suits the subject matter and I enjoyed making it.

Back from NYC, and new work

2009-03-10T13:48:00.002-04:00

Had a great trip to NYC- thanks to Nicholas, Kim, Leanne, Christine, Nick, Don, Dave, Mani, Susan, Joel, Liz, and Max for the welcoming visits. Thanks also to Sam, Chris, Josh, Grady, Ted, and Jillian for the lunch and studio time.

ESPN spots, and spots, and spots...

2009-02-04T19:00:00.005-05:00

More calls than usual for spots in the past week or so (5+ jobs...). Here are some of my favorites from a series of ten for Lou at ESPN - thanks, Lou. These were fun. I'm going to start a 'spots' portfolio over at Illoz.

New Yorker, NY Times, PlanSponsor, Wall St Journal

2009-01-20T10:42:00.003-05:00

What a tremendous couple of weeks! Thanks to Max, Richard, SooJin, and Dave! In other news, I added a few more prints to the Daily Figure store.

Really fun spots!

2009-01-08T16:22:00.003-05:00

I love assignments that challenge me to create a unified set of spots - it's fun to decide on a color palette, etc. that will make everything feel cohesive. Thanks to Jen for this series (I am posting three out of the five that were produced).

Double Obamas for the LA Times and Worth!

2008-12-26T18:39:00.001-05:00

Society of Illustrators 51

2008-11-21T12:01:00.002-05:00

Just got a nice phone call from the Society of Illustrators in NYC informing me that my 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' poster was accepted into the annual show. I probably never blogged this piece because it is stylistically different from my editorial stuff, but here it is.

Covers for The Guardian & Washington Post

2008-11-11T14:56:00.002-05:00

Richard and Chris - you made my week! The Guardian cover is for a group of humorous stories that were printed the week before the election. For the Post, the story was about artists like T-Pain, who use Auto-Tuner software to make their voices sound better than they actually are - hence, the buzzing bees to songbirds transformation concept.

Best Week Ever

2008-10-29T13:16:00.003-04:00

I must have fallen on some magic luck dust - In the last week, our beautiful little girl was born, and as a gift to her pop, she sent successive phone calls from the NY Times, the Guardian, and the Wall St Journal. Should I hire her as my rep?

Below: from Tyler (VA Living) and Richard (NY Times). Many thanks, gents!

Always wanted to draw Tom Waits... and Charo!

2008-06-30T15:03:00.006-04:00

Thanks to Kelly for this quick Tom Waits portrait, and to Justin for the Charo spot! Sorry for not posting for a long while, but the promotional exercises surrounding the first LIGHT CHILDREN book have kept me extremely busy, along with editorial jobs that I will post soon. Thanks to everybody that has already ordered a copy of the book, by the way! Every copy we sell makes us feel like we have created something very special. Self-publishing is really difficult, but the rewards are greater when you receive emails from satisfied readers!
