Right about the time that it became visibly obvious that something was brewing along Second Avenue in the spring of 2007 The New York Times published an article about the eventual possession and demolition of a corner building on 97th and 2nd Ave. Ce ...
Or more to the point, good luck crossing. Work on the East side of Second Avenue went much smoother and was completed more quickly than that on the West side of the avenue the many months before. It may be in part to increased efficiency from all tha ...

This past weekend I had this illustration published in the Chicago Tribune. I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite ADs Nicole Dudka. The article is loaded with visuals and I’m really happy with how it worked out. ...
Here’s an editorial piece I did recently that appeared in the Sunday Arts section of the Hartford Courant, about band groupies. Apparently they are organizing online – one group mentioned in the article even has a MySpace page! What’ll they thi ...
