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 […]
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 have a quarter page illustration appearing in the May-June issue of the UTNE Reader. The article, written by Brenda Peterson, discusses the concept of rapture through the eyes of 2 neighbors tending to harbor seals. Not an easy story to illustrate, but what a GREAT assignment! I’m really happy with how it turned out, […]
Last month, I was asked to be a judge at the Society of Illustrators 2008 Student Scholarship Competition. It is an honor for me to be asked to participate in this important event; an event which will no doubt help further the careers of future illustrators.

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 […]
Two Studio 1482 members, Veronica Lawlor and Eddie Peña are featured in the July CA Illustration Annual. The article, by Lisa L. Cyr, highlights the important, often overlooked, area of visual journalism and reportage.
In March I visited the San Diego Zoo. I had been there when I was a child and the only memories I have are of Shamu, the famous killer whale. Shamu lives at Sea World…so this was really my first trip. I set out to experience the place through reportage, and below are some of […]
