This is my latest published illustration. It was a great article on the music and culture of 1920s Iraq for the UTNE reader. It was nice to hear something different about this country, something positive. Beautiful things were possible in those beautiful times. Let’s hope there will be more to come soon.
Last December I was contacted by Carmichael Lynch to be 1 of 7 illustrators contributing toward a custom promotional booklet announcing the launch of the Harley Davidson Dark Custom Motorcycle. The art producer on the project, Andrea Mariash, has recently posted the job to her weblog, and I thought it would be a great time to show the drawings. It was an interesting assignment, a new one for me. I was asked to act as a biker, out on the road, doodling (with ballpoint pen) in his little black book. It was interesting to be asked to do what I would do if I was someone else. The first illustration is the road snaking into a dragon or serpent, and the second, a night on the town with the Dark Custom. Anyway, I’m happy with the illustrations,and I’d love to hear what you think.
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.
I recently came across an old client’s new website, Diana Broussard, and I was proud to see some of my illustrations displayed. Diana is a wonderful lady and a great shoe designer. Back in (I believe 2000), Diana was looking for an illustrator to help her with a promotion to launch her new brand. The promotion was a deck of ‘playing cards’, each with one of Diana’s shoes on it, illustrated my way. The samples below, and on her site, are 2 of the designs from the deck. It was one of the most unusual, and pleasurable jobs I’ve worked on.
As the weather has been beautiful and the cars have been banned, I’ve taken full advantage and have been out drawing every chance I get. These drawings are from a few weeks ago on a Saturday in Times Square. It was a real pleasure to sit in the heart of the center of the world on a free chair at a free table and draw. I highly recommend it!
During last month’s assignment, Hemisphere’s design director Jaimey Easler (a great guy to work with), asked me to work on another feature titled “Dream Drives”. It too was a great assignment.
