This illustration was a great assignment. A bit of research to do, but it is always great to learn something during an assignment. This piece for AAA Traveler magazine was basically an ad for great ‘festivals’ around the world. They include: The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, New Orleans’ Jazz & Heritage Festival,  The Kentucky Derby, Pushkar Mela, and Christkindelsmarkt.   Basically, […]
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.Â
This past Sunday, I had another illustration appear in the Chicago Tribune Style section. This time it was for an article on ‘Men’s fear of color’ (in their wardrobe). I really enjoyed this illustration and would love to hear what you think. Thanks!

I’m really happy with how it turned out, […]
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.
It is with great excitement that I announce the release of the latest issue of Studio 1482’s magazine, Go Do It (GDI Magazine). For those of you who don’t know about GDI, it is a magazine devoted to the idea of DOING, as nothing comes from nothing. I love the magazine because I feel that […]
On the eve of the 2007 Tour de France’s conclusion in Paris, I thought it would be a perfect time to share some drawings I made at last year’s Tour finale. I set out to cover the event, one that I had only read about and seen briefly on the television in Paris. All I […]
