Eric Rohmer for The New Yorker

Thanks to Max for the opportunity to flex a different approach in this portrait.

Happy New Year, and Here is Some Work!

Another big post here with lots of drawings for The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Tennis, Bicycling, Guide and LA Weekly. Thanks to Darrick, Jason, Nadia, Susannah, Jason, Erin, Chris, Brandon, and ... I hope I didn't forget anybody?

New Yorker, AARP, Cleveland, L.A., & More!

Illustration update! This is not everything, but I don't want to cram it all into one post. More to come. Meanwhile, thanks to Max, Jen, Michael, Jason, Brandon, and Eric for these cool jobs!

Watch Your Step! * American Illustration Party *

Here is a really fun one I did for Brandon last week (full post over at my Drawger page). See all you nice people at the American Illustration party - I'll be the guy in the white shirt.

Trains, Bikes, Man Eating Plants

Fun jobs for The New Yorker, LA Weekly, Bicycling, and High Point University. Thanks to some of my favorite art directors: Max, Erin, Darrick, and David.

Been very busy - here are a few pieces from recent weeks: BusinessWeek, UTNE, Charlotte Magazine, Remodeling, Bicycling, ESPN, San Francisco Magazine. Thanks to Nick, Steph, Carrie, Rhonda, David, Lily, Lou, and Monica! More posts to come - gotta get back to drawing!

Portrait of NC Gov. Bev Perdue

She wants to be the 'Queen of Charlotte.' Thanks to Carrie for this fun one!

Actors Afraid To Come Out of the Closet

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...

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!

Wisdom for Graduates - PlanSponsor

Thanks to the mighty SooJin for this fun illustration for a story about wisdom for college graduates entering the job market.

Two for This Week's New Yorker

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

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

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

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.
