CMYK Magazine Contest

Three of my illustrations were selected for publication in CMYK Magazine's Summer 2008 issue due to hit newsstands in July! Here's my winning entries, a nicely mixed bag with one promotional piece, one Rabid Rabbit Cover, and one editorial illustration for The Stranger. Thanks CMYK!

Cover for The Boston Phoenix

This is a drawing of the voluptuous Beth Ditto and her colleagues of The Gossip, that just came out on the cover for the Arts, Music + Events feature of The Boston Phoenix. AD Kevin Banks

The Illustrated Letter

Yesterday was an event at The New York Times, a show of four decades of Letters Page illustrations. These small vignettes got a great showcase on the walls and I was thrilled to see three of my pieces in there. They even blew up one of them into this giant size (the diabetes illustration with the syringe). Many thanks to all those lovely people at The Times!

New York Times Op-Ed Illustration

I had the pleasure to illustrate an Op-Ed by the great Paul Auster for today's New York Times. It's about the student protests at Columbia University in 1968. Today, on the anniversary of the sit-in, Auster tells it from his own perspective since he himself was part of it. You can check it out here.

Eli Sanders' Website

Last year I was asked to do some vignettes for Eli Sanders' website. Eli is a writer from Seattle who works for The Stranger as well as for the NYTimes and Time.com. Design by Corianton Hale of Sleep Op+

City-Ship

Sketch from a personal series about travelling, space and destinations.
While surfing the interweb I recently came across concepts for enormous cruise ships on which you can buy luxury condos and appartments for permanent residence. This was a fascinating concept to me, and lead to this little drawing.

Panik Elektro 6 Production

Here's a look at the production process of Germany's great comic-anthology Panik Elektro. Art-Director and underground comix legend Wittek is giving us a glimpse at his creative process as he's putting the book together and creating the cover and back-cover. Can you spot my vignette on the back cover?

Laurie Anderson for Isthmus

Here's a portrait of performance artist and singer Laurie Anderson, that just came out on the pages of Isthmus.

Baltic Sea Magazine

All the way from Germany I've received my copies of the Baltic Sea Magazine for which I did the cover illustration. Thanks to the Breitengrad Verlag for sending!

American Illustration & Communication Arts

I've just received good news from two great competitions regarding the piece "Destinations", which I did for the Finest | Magma Brand Communication Group's METAGENDA.

It was selected by the jury for American Illustration here in New York City and will be apperearing in American Illustration 27, one of the finest publications in the industry.

And it was also selected for the Communication Arts 2008 Illustration Annual on the West Coast, another major publication that collects some of the best work from the entire year.

Boston Phoenix & New York Times

Here's two pieces that came out today, in The Boston Phoenix and in The New York Times. The first one is about the baseball statistics guru Bill James, who's working for the Red Sox now. You can read the entire story here.
The second image is for the Letters Page of today's The New York Times, titled "Hillary Clinton, Fighting to the End".

Metal Man - The Book!

I've just received my first copy of Metal Man, a picture book by Aaron Reynolds that I illustrated throughout 2007. The book turned out great, the people at Charlesbridge worked hard to make it a wonderful result. It's beautifully written and highly recommended–not just for children! It comes out July 1st and you can pre-order your copy here.





























I'll be signing copies of Metal Man at the MoCCA Art Festival, June 7th-8th, 2008, Puck Building, NYC
