Last night I participated in the ICON5 Roadshow at the beautiful Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan. As this was my first time attending, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was really pleased with both the venue and turnout. The entire 3 hours were filled with eager art buyers and art directors perusing and really […]
This is a funny article, and hopefully this has never happened to you, but I’m sure it has. You come across the unfortunate person whose had way too much to drink and eat, and couldn’t be more oblivious. The unfortunate part is that this specimen is often a coworker and that makes it all the […]
A few months back I was asked to complete another ‘fashion’ illustration for the Tribune…and it finally ran this past Sunday. Although these are certainly more comic than high fashion, I still enjoy them a great deal. It left me with the question, “Can you ever really be prepared to make pleats interesting??!!!!” I did […]

I’m also really happy that the AD decided to use my original sketch of the woman rather than a more polished drawing of a her. I feel […]
As the holidays go by so quickly, I thought it might be a nice time to post some holiday work to try and keep the season going just a little longer. These 2 pieces were commissioned by Q30, a design firm based in Canada, as a series of holiday cards for their client, Osler. This […]
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 […]
